Episode notes
Transitioning to Paid Clients
- Transition unpaid clients to paid by setting clear session limits upfront, like three months or 12 sessions.
- Use this period to demonstrate value so clients want to continue as paying customers.
Leveraging Workshops for Clients
- Use your workshops to identify potential private clients by noting off-topic questions.
- Invite those participants to private sessions, distinguishing workshop content from personalized coaching.
Limit Free Advice Strategically
- Never give more than five minutes of free advice; offer a free complementary coaching session instead.
- During the free session, coach genuinely rather than explaining coaching logistics.
