Nicola is an amazing Relationship & Intimacy Coach with a lot of knowledge, empathy and warmth to share. While she is amazing at what she does, she was struggling with trying to do all the things, making offers, having services at the right price points, clarity of audience, and profitabilty. Sound familiar? Her website was cluttered with freebies, courses and soooo much valuable free content that it was overwhelming and gave her audience no reason to buy. She wanted to take her business to the next level, to streamline and do a few things really well and generate a consistent revenue from them. She had just left a group container and really wanted to work with a business coach 1-2-1. She said at one point "this level of detail of working with me is gold. As I can’t see it often." We're all too close to our own businesses to see it clearly! This is the benefit of investing in a business coach 1-2-1, we can get into the detail such as feedback on copy, as much as we can zoom out and work on overall strategy. In the 12 months she; - increased her email list by 400% (and it wasn't super small to start with) - had the most sign ups to her latest masterclass - decluttered all the things and got laser-focused on her ideal client - launched a new high-ticket offer, a relationship intensive - improved her copy and messaging - got more consistent with email marketing - got better at sales (although this is still something she is working on) - created simple email funnels from her free resources - reduced the amount of different things so she was less overwhelmed All of which are the foundational pieces, from which her business will continue to grow and flourish. Business success doesn't happen overnight - as much as some people will lead you to believe that! It's a marathon, not a sprint. If you are thinking about working with a coach to grow your coaching, therapeutic or healing business, get clear and confident with your strategy and marketing and clear any inner blocks to achieving your goals, book a call with me and let me show you how I can help you achieve your goals. https://lnkd.in/e-_YnRsV #businesscoaching #businesscoach #businesscoachforwomen #businesscoachingforwomen #womensbusinesscoach #businessstrategycoach #strategicbusinesscoach #coachingbusiness

What would you do if you had a knack for public speaking but no stage to share your message? Answer: The very strategy I leveraged when I was in that situation. Here’s how I booked speaking gigs and made $40,000 in my first month with just $200 to my name. 1) I reached out to local organizations and entrepreneurs looking for speakers at their events. 2) I asked them about the topics they struggled to cover and what their audience needed to hear. 3) I offered a free speaking engagement to showcase my expertise. 4) The deal? If they liked my talk, I would pitch them a series of workshops or consulting sessions. 5) “Get a transformative talk for free this month” became my attractive proposal. 6) Armed with my notes and experience, I delivered powerful presentations tailored to their needs. 7) I contacted thirty potential clients, and ten accepted my free speaking offer. 8) After receiving positive feedback, I proposed ongoing workshops to all ten. 9) By the end of that month, five clients signed on for additional sessions, earning $40,000. This isn’t just a concept; it’s how I revitalized my speaking career. You can adapt this model for any service-based business. Offer your expertise for free. Showcase your value. It’s a straightforward, effective approach. Everyone wins.

My mission is to have one amazing conversation a day with someone new. No sales pitch, just a chance to get to know them and make a friend. By asking simple questions like "why," "who," "what," "where," "when," and "how," I learn about their journey, their passions, and their emotions. As business coaches, it's crucial to let go of the sale and focus on building genuine connections. So let's meet as many cool people as we can and offer support and advice when they permit us to do so. Remember, the quality of conversations can change everything you do. #BusinessCoaches #Networking #ProfessionalDevelopment #businesscoaching

THE BACKSTAGE PASS: One of my favourite business development practices. I love sending personalized videos from inside the venue of my keynote speeches. Who do I send them to? Past speaking clients. Past coaching clients. Future speaking clients. Future coaching clients. Family and friends, because that’s awesome too. By staying late, or having some downtime in the venue on the multi-keynote days, it’s a great way to stay top of mind with key people and invite them “BACKSTAGE” at the venue, via video. Backstage. On stage. Side stage. You name it. The Steps: Bring a list of 5-10 people you want to connect with and do it from the venue, after your speech (give the speaking client your best performance first). The Significance: People feel special and like being “thought of.” Inherently, you get thought of too. You can make future keynote sales from the seats of a current keynote venue. ***Tell them “this is not A.I” in the video, because everyone thinks it’s just A.I. these days.

The most underrated approach to attract your next coaching, consulting client ME. Let me explain Here’s what’s going on in your prospect’s head: Me, me, me, me - What's in it for ME? - What is this for ME? - Why does this matter to ME? - How does this help ME look good? - How does this help ME survive/thrive? - How does this address my unspoken ME issues? - How does this put to rest the fears that are in ME? - How does this transform the ME now to the ME I want to be? It’s not complicated. But it does require getting deep inside your prospect’s mind to discover what they really care about. And they really care about, ME. Quick tip: Read your website copy, your next email. Is it focused on ME?
