Hi London Coaches
As many of you know, I am the founder of the Smart School of Coaching in London and I take huge pride in training fantastic coaches. What came became clear to me fairly quickly is that it is not enough simply to gain coaching skills if you aspire to create a coaching business. That's like giving a set of tools to a carpenter and telling them to go and create a furniture business. The problem is that the two sets of skills are just different. And one without the other is only half the picture. Someone who can get clients ringing off the hook for handmade furniture but who has never trained as a carpenter is soon going to be found out! But so is a highly skilled carpenter who puts an ad in Yellow Pages and sits back to wait for the stream of customers. It just isn't going to happen. Times have changed and coaching has moved on. Coaches need to have business savvy and a set of skills to attract and keep clients. The recent seminar I ran on "Getting 10 Clients in 3 Months" really proved the point. I've already had 6 people tell me that they've secured at least one new paying client since the seminar. In one case, someone had gained three new clients. It's simply the application of some key business skills that many coaches lack. So, as a way to share this workshop with you all, I'm going to create a webinar version of the workshop and post it to this site. I'll write again to let you know when it's done. In the meantime, why not book your place on September's workshop - "How to Run a Profitable Workshop - Give Value Get Paid". I'll give you the low down on how you can create, fill and profit from small easy-to-run workshops. This is an opportunity that any of you can benefit from. It doesn't require crazy financial input and high risk; it doesn't need high-profile joint ventures or hundreds of people. You can make a great income in one evening with 20 people. You just need to know how and the steps to do it. Reserve your place now for just £40: Book my place Looking forward to giving you the webinar and helping you make your practice thrive.
