If you’re not talking to people, then you’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 “what´s in it for me”.

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

Yeah I agree totally, in order to have effective marketing you need to target the right people with the right method, if you can find your niche area then you can deliver a specialised marketing campaign.

The most important thing here is maybe as you said the human side. Sometimes when you enter a site that’s not personal, made only for business you soon aware that is missing something.
Maybe a customer service or a online chat could be some interesting ways to achieve this.

Aww This post hit it right on target. I to talk about your target audience. But at the same time you can never lump all of your target audience into one category.

Every individual is different. Their needs, wants and desires change from person to person.

Going with buy from me doesn’t work trying to understand your visitors is better than any sales pitch.

I believe that all of these is pretty much true. If you have the experience of such a business or life encounters, then you can indeed teach or pass your experience to others so that they can adopt to it.

‘ meet the people you want to serve’ – only if you get the chance to know them will you be able to guess their needs and your tricks will work for them. Even politicians do tr5avel sometimes to meet with electorate. Why life-coachers should not?

Excellent advice there, that’s not limited to just your niche. If you’re not talking to people, then you’re not going to sell to them.

Very good and solid points. 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.

These feelings are understandable! After all, we’re probably not an IT expert and we haven’t got an endless budget but at the same time we know the importance of having our own coaching website to build our credibility, to market ourself online and to build our client base.

People aren’t interested in hearing from businesses….true..

Don’t let your customer feel as though you are selling a product on them, be real to your customers and first seek to UNDERSTAND before SOLVING. How would you like it if someone came to you with a solution to a problem you don’t even have.

Same applies to your online business, your web design should reflect not your product or services, but the user themselves.

Marketing and People skills go hand in hand, you cannot get value unless you give value yourself, what is your value to the customer?
