coaching<\/a> business, just like for any business, is through referrals.\u00a0 Sometimes referrals come as a result of your networking and marketing efforts, and other times referrals come from existing clients.\u00a0 As a coach, how do you earn referrals?<\/p>\nNetworking, as discussed in the previous blog post, is a natural starting place.\u00a0 Additionally, speaking or training as described in upcoming blog posts are excellent opportunities.\u00a0 Ultimately, referrals are from people who know and trust you and recognize the value of your services.<\/p>\n
When you are a new coaching business owner, letting your contacts know you are in business and what you do is essential.\u00a0 Perhaps some of the people you know now want a coach.\u00a0 Alternatively, the people you know now can help spread the word about what you do so that you build your network and generate referrals.<\/p>\n
Perhaps the obvious point on referrals is earning referrals from your current clients.\u00a0 Once you have coaching clients, they will talk about your coaching services.\u00a0 This will lead to interest and inquiries.\u00a0 Ultimately, your clients will give your name to people they know that are looking for a coach or that will benefit from coaching services.\u00a0 Earning referrals is based on providing professional and effective coaching.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
