Couldn´t agree more. And it is a trend in many business areas. We want to deal with people, not companies.

We want to know the person and we do business if we trust that person, not the company.

All over the web personal branding is becoming ever more important, especially for people selling personal stuff

You had provided very good information for improving the ‘life coaching’ business. In my opinion you could say more or less the same about every website selling consulting. If it is a coach, a SEO or a weight loss specialist: Same story. I learned a lot from this which I believe can be applied to my craft since I also need to market my work. Keep up with your excellent work.

Good post, thanks for taking that up. The way I do is to, number 1, always to meet up with a potentiel client to a pre-coaching session to determine if there is basis for starting up a coaching process, number 2, always, during the coaching sessions to check up on the relation between me and the client. I am very inspirered by Yalom who speaks about this often in his books etc. Cheers

Great post. I have had the same thought on coaches and marketing too, and think there is so much they can do. This only supports my thoughts.

Thanks a bundle on your concern and efforts to have put these things together on your website. Debra and that i furthermore greatly appreciated your ideas by way of the articles about these crucial things. I’m acutely aware that you just have a number of demands on your time so the incontrovertible fact that an individual such as you took all the time such as you did to guide people for instance like us by way of this article is also highly valued. I wanted to subscribe to your RSS feed. However unfortunately it never appear to become working for me. Am I the only one with this trouble? Iwill visit after a day or so to check. Anyways thanks a lot once more for your good read.

Great article. I agree with many prior commenters – this applies well beyond the coaching industry. I think it’s particularly good information to remember in new media like Twitter, where you are speaking “live” into the ether.

As a life coach you should give the people an example of a problem you had and the way youâ€™ve overcome it. Itâ€™s a good way to get their trust.

“Just remember, people are seeking answers and direction, not marketing messages and sales pitches” What great insight you have, couldn’t agree more!

I also feel that clients should feel absolutely as comfortable as possible with a coach. And should be able to talk to them for at 30 to 60 mins to see if you and the coach is a match

This is true of more than just coaching. For affiliate marketing or product selling, people do not buy from websites or from businesses, they buy from people.

So put up a picture and some info about yourself and you will likely get a better response by being a real human being.

If youâ€™re not talking to people, then youâ€™re not going to sell to them. I love this argument! Straight out of permission marketing

Coaching clients are, in my view active participants. Once we have that identified we can then begin the specific strategy.

I am sure you are right, that this is the case within the coaching business. But it is not limited to that business – this goes for any business, B2C or B2B. Customers always want to be treated as persons and will always make buying decisions based on “whatÂ´s in it for me”.

“Your coaching clients are not an audience, theyâ€™re people.” I think that quote is spot on, treat everyone as a person, and you’ll go far.
