Making a living out of coaching is not always easy. Even though you love your profession, you struggle to make yourself visible in the industry, you try every technique or strategy you learnt in coaching school, but that still doesn't help you get the revenue, the lifestyle and the satisfaction you have always wanted.
You have a client here and there, no regular income, you cannot find the resources to promote yourself and to find success. You become frustrated and start to doubt your decision about becoming a coach.
If you find yourself in this situation, it is time to change the way you coach. It doesn't mean you have to invent new ways, you just need to transform the existing way of doing business. It means using all your natural skills, talents and assets and develop new, effective techniques to finally step into the spotlight.
There are a few things you can do to change the way you coach, which will help you develop a successful coaching business. These techniques do not take a lot of time to implement or a lot of money for marketing campaigns. All it takes is your desire to succeed and a change in your beliefs, in your approach towards coaching.
1. Target a market
Targeting has turned out to be one of the main reasons why many coaches do not succeed in this industry. If you decide to target a specific market, it doesn't mean that you limit your options, that you will get less clients. It just means that you must identify the problems that particular market has and find the solutions to those problems. More than that, you must let this clientele know you are there and you have the solutions to their problem. Make your potential clients see you are the one they need and you won't even have to find them, they will come to you.
2. Become an expert in an area
Whenever people have a problem or want to achieve something, they want to turn to a specialist for help. This is the moment when you can become the expert your target clientele needs. The more you coach on specific problems, the more clients you will get. Your expertise and your success stories will make people want to work with you, because they know from others that you can help them succeed as well. Let's admit it, you cannot coach everyone on everything, so why not specialize in one area and promote yourself on the market as such.
3. Create a clear message
No matter what strategies you use to promote yourself, you must always deliver a consistent message about yourself and your work. Your message is your business card and must tell your clients about who you are and what you can offer. You need a clear message to make people come to you. Your clients feel understood when you understand them, you know their problems, their desires or their fears. It also helps you develop a better relationship with them, you can connect with them much more easily.
If you want to do something else in coaching, to improve your business, you don't have to completely change everything. Even though you implement new strategies or techniques, you must always use your pre-existing assets, your natural skills. Use what is good about yourself and your work and then make the changes you want to get more clients and increase your revenue.
Then you will see that you don't have to struggle to find your clients, because you have already found the secret to make clients come to you and pay for your expertise.
