Developing Coaching Products

By William R. Givens


Right now, there are so many people who are creating and selling high ticket coaching programs in ht online arena. Sadly, not all of them are getting their desired response from their prospects. Don't be one of them by simply taking these steps,First thing to do is to get your prospects to sign up to your newsletters. It's important that you have their email address and phone number so you can easily get in touch with them. Getting these people to subscribe can be very challenging especially now that spam emails are on the rise. But you can still convince your prospects by giving them an assurance that you're a great source of information and that you will not share their contact information to third parties. Of course, it will help if you offer ethical bribes like free ebooks and special newsletters.

Benefits Coaches who develop educational products are well aware of the schedule of added benefits behind the package. Following are some examples,Increased Credibility. Delivering high quality, branded products to your niche is one of the most powerful means to build your credibility. There is virtually no other way to accelerate your perception as an expert in your niche.Improve your networks, Authorities in your niche are usually very willing to assist and participate in the development of products that assist their industry. Networking with these authorities will give you an immediate, highly leveraged entry into your niche. It will open many doors to Joint Ventures; list sharing! ; public forums; group meetings; etc.

You'll become less reliant on your time. As a coach, what is your commodity? When everything is distilled down, what are you selling? Coaching? No. Happiness? No. Success? No. Health? No. You are selling your time! Time is your commodity. And when time is your commodity and you are reliant on selling your time, you! r income potential is extremely limited. You can only realistically work 8-hours a day. So the only way to earn more money is to charge more. There is a limit to how much you can charge. And when you stop selling your time (go on holidays with your family; get sick), your income stops.

Special reports and ebooks are great ways to communicate your coaching message and introduce yourself to potential clients. People can get your information and become familiar with you and your coaching at a low cost so there is not great barrier to entry for your coaching. Later they can move to higher priced items.Teleclasses and telecourses are another avenue to reach potential coaching clients in larger groups. Teleclasses based on a particular challenge or goal common to your target coaching niche are a great way to introduce people to your coaching and to get them on the road to solutions.

o, you've decided to sink your teeth into the field of coaching. After identifying what to coach about and after researching your target market, the next step that you need to take is to decide on what type of information product you're going to sell. In this article, I wish to share some tips on how to create your product line to ensure your success in this type of business.

Loss Leader. You know by now the net marginal worth of your clients, and hence how much you can afford to invest at the front-end on acquiring a client. A strategy to attain client contracts is to use a 'loss leader'. This means you make a financial loss at the front-end, knowing you'll make gains over the term of the! life of your client. For instance, you may give away free vouchers to a group coaching workshop to members of your niche. This may cost you $100 per attendee. However, you get 90% of attendees into the top of your funnel; 30% of the them to level 2 within 3-months; 20% to level 3 within 6-months. The net result may be a $1,750 gain over 6-12 months per attendee.

Quality over quantity. It's important for any businessman to ensure that his clients will do repeat business with him over and over again. This will only happen if your customers are extremely happy with their purchases. So, instead of coming up with hundreds of mediocre ebooks, come up with those that your buyers will really treasure. Pack them with amazing information that will really bring difference to the lives or careers of your clients. As you're starting out, I would suggest that you strive to give these people more than their money's worth. This will help in making them remember you for a very long time. Not only that, this will also help in getting these people to recommend your ebooks and coaching services to their friends and family members.
