Developing a Stronger Coaching Message to Attract More Clients

The stronger your coaching message — the more focused your message is on the real live needs of your prospects – the more prospects you’ll convert to paying coaching clients.
I’ve said it myself, in the beginning when I first started coaching, “I can coach anyone about anything.” But you know what, that’s just not accurate. Because of my unique background and training there are clients that I am more suited for coaching.
I’ve discovered that the more I coach or deliver my coaching message in some fashion – such as writing blog posts, article marketing or interviewing brilliant guests on my Get More Business Radio Show – the stronger, more developed, and much more effective my coaching message is when it comes time to deliver during a coaching session.
Not only do all these strategies of blogging, writing articles and Internet radio help me to promote and broadcast my message, but refines and perfects my message; and my clients benefit from it.
Whenever I work with new coaches, I encourage them to just keep coaching – even if it is what I call “gratitude coaching”. Gratitude coaching is when the client does not pay for a session because the coach is “giving back” by assisting someone who is unable to pay them back. It’s a way of putting out good vibes into the Universe by giving thanks – sometimes in advance of ever having received anything. Besides sowing good vibes the new coach is also developing a more accurate picture of their own coaching message.
The important message to the new life coach is to develop a strong coaching message by coaching within their area of expertise – and keep coaching – keep delivering the coaching message often.
- Write articles daily or weekly
- Post regularly on a blog
- Start your own Internet radio or video broadcast with a regular schedule
Establish a perspective that delivering your coaching message as often as you can is your business – don’t wait until you have “coaching clients”. Even after you begin to build your coaching practice – create additional avenues where your coaching message continues to promote for you automatically and continuously – even while you sleep. Everything you publish on the Internet remains to carry your message to your ideal prospect for as long as it’s published. The more messages you create and publish, the more your coaching message will be promoted - and the stronger you delivery will become in the making of each post, or article.
