#80 – Don’t Wait For Coaching Clients: Create Them (Coaching Business Fundamentals)

In this episode, the third in a series diving into The Coaching Business Flywheel and the fundamental parts of a sustainable coaching business, Robbie and Ruth slow down and take a deep dive into perhaps the most powerful step in the Flywheel for taking control of the future of your coaching business. That is: making offers and, in particular, offering people the opportunity to experience you more. Robbie explains why giving people opportunities to experience you makes your sales easier and easier, and shares stories about how to give people the most undiluted, pure experience of you. If you’re feeling stuck or hopeless in your business, this is the episode for you. We cover: Practical ways you can offer people opportunities to experience you more. How powerful inviting people into coaching conversations can be and how to do that with integrity. How a conversation on a training course took Robbie out of scarcity in his business and got him into action. The pitfalls and doubts that we run into when making offers to people, and why we shouldn’t listen to them.
