I know what you mean, Tia. Part of it is that the folks that are good at coach training aren’t usually the ones that are good at marketing. So I’m here to support you now. Because if you can’t get coaching clients those coaching skills don’t have the same appeal.

Why, oh Why don`t they teach us these skills in Coach School?

Such a serious lack of marketing advice out there – no wonder 75% of coaches who want to, never make it `big`.

I`m so happy to be discovering more coaches like you who are filling this gap. I`m headed there as well and in the meanwhile, look at the Gold I`ve got access to I`ll be working on my UBS and USP ..

Thanks Rhonda! Great to connect on twitter as well. Tia

Rhonda; The one comment that you made that stood out to me was "Think like Client, not like a Coach" There are several tools available online that give coaches insight into how the client thinks. One of my most favorite tools is discussion groups or forums where my market hangs out. I find that just perusing posts with lots of views and replies gives me an understanding of the questions as well as solutions that my prospect have. I can take words and phrases from the comments and use them in my sales copy describing what I offer, or in an email subject line. I make a point to use words and phrases from the discussion groups so that the topics stand out as relevant. I loved your questions to assess benefits statement. Provocative thinking.

Hi Rhonda! Great article. Important info people need to really understand and take to heart. There’s too many people out there who are afraid to zero in on a niche and they end up shooting themselves in the foot because of it.

Keep up the great work!
