subject: You Have To Talk To People To Attract Clients [print this page] If youre a life coach and you want to attract clients, you have to talk to people. Plain and simple. If youre not talking to a lot of potential clients on a consistent basis, chances are youre not making any money or attracting clients. And you wont have a life coaching practice for much longer.
Many life coaches spend most of their time doing anything else OTHER than talking to people. Most life coaches will either decide they need another certification course or more training. Theyll work on their website. Theyll get their graphic design work completed. Theyll create business cards. Theyll make announcements on Facebook. Theyll pretty much do anything other than actually talking with potential clients.
Thats the problem. Thats why most life coaching practices fail. Thats why life coaches dont earn money. Theyre not talking to people. The same is true of many other businesses too.
And the reason theyre not talking to clients is because of fear. Fear of selling. Fear of rejection. Fear of failure. Fear of not being good enough. Or any other number of reasons. If youre going to be a successful life coach, you have to talk to people.
Then, instead of overcoming their fears and taking consistent disciplined actions, most coaches give up and think attracting clients isnt possible. They cant do it. It just wont work for them. After that, theyll go back to their jobs or theyll continue to bounce around from opportunity to opportunity experiencing the same results -- they wont talk to people and then they think the opportunity doesnt work so they give up.
If youre looking for the common denominator, its the attitude and mindset of each specific life coach. Its not that attracting clients needs to become easier or that its impossible. You just have to talk to people on a regular basis, over and over again. But talking to people is the one thing that most coaches wont do. So if you can do it, youve just dramatically increased your chances for success as a life coach.
