Get coaching clients on LinkedIn via sharing content

By Attracting clients, Enrolling clients, LinkedIn No Comments
A Coach recently asked me: “Should I reach out to people who engage with my content on LinkedIn?”

Here’s my answer 👇There are 2 great ways to bring aligned clients to your practice – you could wait for them to come to you or take the lead to invite them to a dance 💃If you choose to WAIT – then you’d need to create lots of great content and events for people to get to know you, and wait for someone to reach out when the time feels right for them.It brings some of the highest quality Prospects to you, but typically it’s a very, very long-term strategy.Your ideal client may feel shy to reach out or is simply procrastinating to connect, even if what you have to offer is VERY relevant for them right now.So, they may actually appreciate some encouragement and a warm welcome from you.Also, if you have only recently started building awareness of your work – you will sign up clients sooner if you engage
with your audience PROACTIVELY.Especially if you’re reaching out to warm Prospects who had an experience of you via your content or live events.

So, the answer is a resounding YES,

when you see the same person engage with a few pieces of your content or join your Live session – I would reach out and ask them for their key takeaways.

And, if they respond, get the conversation flowing and eventually (if relevant) invite them to an intro call with you.

I’ve been running my coaching practice for the past 6 years.

And I’ve always found that reaching out to your potential clients directly is the surest and fastest way of getting your practice booked out with aligned clients.

How about you?

Do you see better results in your practice when a potential client initiates the connection, or when you take the lead?

How to use Chat GPT to attract coaching clients 🤖

By Attracting clients, LinkedIn No Comments

Is Chat GPT your new content writing BFF or the evil twin to your authentic voice? Let’s explore👇

My honest view is that Chat GPT is great news (especially for us coaches) as there is no more hiding behind generic “5 tips to run effective meetings” posts that bots can now write in a blink of an eye.

We finally have no option but TO BE REALin order to stand out!

To share our own stories and experiences that can empower and inspire others to take courageous steps too.

AI is great for scrapping internet for the best tips and ideas on a topic and bringing it together in a readable format.

BUT

The output is often a yawnfest. And it definitely doesn’t get much attention in LinkedIn’s newsfeed belt.

It’s not YOU! You are UNIQUE.

Ok, maybe one day AI will figure out how to be as funny, quirky and real like you.

But at the minute it can’t do that.

Is there a way for content creators to still benefit from this bonkers technology?

Of course.

Here’s how I decided to work with Chat GPT:

1. As a 1ST DRAFT ✍️

I input my “thought spaghetti” and ask Chat GPT to turn it into a more coherent post.

But I NEVER use it as the final output.

I often find the ideas are a touch boring (many people said that before), but it suddenly brings me a FLOOD of ideas I’d like to share INSTEAD.

So I end up rewriting 90% of what’s in the draft

BUT

it massively helps me avoid the “blank page” anxiety. I now write content twice as fast thanks to that!

As I add my own stories and re-write it in my own voice – the end result is a post that feels unique, authentic, and totally me!

2. For FINAL TWEAKS 🏁

Other times I create the 1st draft myself and then ask Chat GPT to make it more compact (I can be quite a talker), and fix grammar.

Again, that saves me lots of time thinking about what to loose.

THE VERDICT? 🤖

I think AI can be a great tool to get creative juices flowing, but it should never replace your unique voice and creativity.

Use it responsibly and STAY HUMAN!

By the way, I’m running a free LINKEDIN CONTENT MINICOURSE for Coaches starting tomorrow (WOO-HOO!).

Besides many cool content and algorithm ideas, I will also provide a quick demo on prompts that coaches can use to make the most out of Chat GPT without losing their voice and authenticity.

Book your spot – the link is in the comments. See you there!

What’s your take?

Should content creators tap Chat GPT for inspiration or avoid it to stay real?

7 LinkedIn post ideas for Coaches to ignite your spark ✨

By Attracting clients, LinkedIn No Comments

Are you a Coach who enjoys sharing content on LinkedIn BUT all out of creative fuel this week? Or you just want to get started? Here’re 7 IDEAS to ignite your spark ✨

Sharing content on LinkedIn is a way to help more people, even if they can never afford your services.

And for others to get to know you better before deciding to coach with you.

And it’s important to show up regularly as it can also help you get noticed by the LinkedIn algorithm – flagging that you’re a reliable, active and engaged community member.

So it can help more people find your content and benefit from it.

BUT

Coming up with quality content ideas regularly can be tough.

Here’re my 7 ideas of what you can share:

1. Something your ideal client finds CHALLENGING

Talk about something that was hard for you (or your clients) and is now easy. What was your key takeaway or a process that can help others?

2. Something PERSONAL

Share a personal story and your learnings from it.

People love to hear stories, and knowing that others have been through similar experiences can help them feel less alone.

3. Something EDUCATIONAL

Share something your community would love to learn about.

Eg, tips for acing job interviews or managing a team in times of uncertainty.

What’s the key thing that can make your ideal client feel a LOT better equipped?

4. Something to CELEBRATE

Share anonymized client case studies or testimonials.

If you keep a ‘personal motivation’ folder full of lovely things clients have been saying about your work – it’s time to start sharing it!

Give others an idea of the exciting transformational results coaching can help them achieve too.

5. Something OTHERS ARE TALKING ABOUT

Look at what your coach-colleagues are sharing. See if any of the topics inspire you to share your own perspective on the theme.

Or did you comment on a post talking about something you feel very passionate about? Expand that comment into a post of your own.

6. Something YOU’RE CURIOUS ABOUT

Ask your audience a question.

Something you genuinely want to know about them
OR you’d love to ask advice on
OR run a poll to get ideas for your next post or a workshop event.

7. Something FUN

There is no better way to build rapport with ‘strangers on the internet’ than humour.

Share your recorded ‘happy dance’ after signing up your recent coaching client.

Spread the joy! Our mirror neurons will thank you for that.

There you have it.

Is it too late to contact potential coaching clients in Dec?🎄

By Enrolling clients, LinkedIn, Mindset No Comments

Should you contact new potential clients in Dec or wait till Jan now? 🤔

I’ve been running my coaching practice for 6 years now and EVERY YEAR I expect Dec to be the quietest month (people are busy wrapping things up, prepping for the holidays etc).

Yet… EVERY.SINGLE.YEAR I end up signing up more coaching clients in Dec than any other month.

A paradox..?

I think not.

It’s the time when your ideal clients are gearing up for creating exciting changes in the year ahead – you can be there for them, to witness and support their transformation journeys.

So if you’ve been waiting for a sign to press that magic ‘Send’ button -THIS IS IT! ✨

You can always follow up on your message in January if you haven’t heard back.

While some people are very busy in Dec wrapping things up, others respond that things actually quietened down for them now and they have this extra space to focus on their goals for the next year.

Btw – I’d love to share a little holiday gift with you. 🎁 Find your invite to Grow Your Coaching Business Q&A session in the comments below, and book your spot. There are sessions available for Dec & Jan.

I’ll answer ANY questions on launching or growing your coaching business: deciding on your niche, lead generation, social media content, acing enrolment conversations, overcoming objections – bring it on!

Come, we’ll look for the missing puzzle piece to getting your coaching practice booked out with aligned clients in 2023 🧩

Sending Hugs and my best holiday wishes!

What’s your experience with reaching out to Prospects in Dec?

How to attract 12 New Coaching Clients ORGANICALLY on LinkedIn in the next 90 Days?

By Attracting clients, Enrolling clients, LinkedIn No Comments

How to attract 12 New Coaching Clients ORGANICALLY on LinkedIn in the next 90 Days?

I’m about to compare your approach to getting coaching clients on LinkedIn to mushroom picking. True story, stick with me an learn how to land your next 12 clients using only organic methods.

Every Autumn I get VERY excited about mushroom picking! And I only have about 3 months of this exciting treasure hunt. Some days I find a handful of good ones and we make a risotto with it! It’s probably lame but it gives me an adrenaline rush!

So does looking for new clients…

It’s too easy to take this process very seriously, turn it into a stressful task!

BUT it doesn’t have to be that way.

As a Business Coach for New Coaches, I’ve been running my practice for 6 years and been on this cycle of confidence -> crash -> confidence rollercoaster every quarter since the start! And I tell you for sure – IT DOES GET A LOT SMOOTHER with every new season change!!

But you gotta turn it into an adventure, or it’s impossible to build a thriving coaching business and hit your financial goals as a coach.

Finding coaching clients organically on LinkedIn is EASY (you don’t need any complicated tech) BUT can you keep it playful?

STEP 1
PICK A FRUITFUL FOREST SPOT = YOUR TARGET AUDIENCE

Ask experienced mushroom-pickers [Business Mentors] where to look.

Once you get an idea – use LinkedIn filters to create your target list. Keep tweaking your search until you have max 1000 people in your list, so that your niche is not too broad, or your messaging won’t be landing very effectively!

STEP 2
KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE PRIZE 🍄

Spend some quality time on each person’s profile and notice what catches your eye about them.

Send personalised messages to each Human (min 5 a day) mentioning what you find interesting/special about their background or recent experience.

Did they just get promoted? Did they raise money for a charity you admire by cycling through Cornwall?

Be genuine and mention something that truly interests you in their profile in your connection request or longer message to them. In that message – also introduce yourself and invite them to a free Strategy Call.

STEP 3
INVITE THEM TO YOUR BASKET 🧺

Have a powerful Strategy Call or an enrolment conversation, where you can pre-qualify whether you’re a good match to work together.

If you’re speaking to someone you can genuinely help (you found an edible mushroom!) – invite them to your coaching program.

To summarise, this is how you get 12 new coaching clients in 90 days:

5-10 personalised LinkedIn messages to people in your niche a day
≈
5 enrolment conversations a week
≈
1 new client a week
≈
12 new clients a quarter

And so you walk home with a basket full of tasty mushrooms. Enjoy your risotto!

Silly? Impulsive? … you may wonder …

By Attracting clients, Business tips, LinkedIn No Comments

Face of a woman who signed up for yet another $5k coaching programme in the middle of the night!

Silly? Impulsive? … you may wonder …

The first time it happened, I wondered if I got tricked – as I put the phone down after a coach managed to extract that kind of investment out of me.

And then, I started with the process, got breakthroughs, and returned the investment 3 fold in 3 months. And by now, 6 years later, it paid back so many times over that I’d rather not say, as you may think I’m telling porky pies.

I’ve learnt that so far as you do these 2 things right, coaching is pretty much a money, happiness and fulfilment-generating machine!

[hence, my over-excitment in this image – I can tell something REALLY cool is about to happen!]

1.DUE DILIGENCE

Make sure you are handing over your hard earned cash to a legit & talented coach + you have great chemistry.

I usually follow my coaches for 1-2 years before finally signing up at midnight a year later [like last night]. I look at their content, even sometimes ask to speak with their past clients before I sign up.

I often suggest that Coaches who are considering to sign up to my Fully Booked Coach programme do the same! I even sometimes put them in touch with my kickass graduate coaches before they decide.

2.CONFIDENCE

How ready are you to invest yourself into the process?

Yes, the coach will help you prioritise and facilitate breakthroughs, but be honest about how ready you are to put in the work in-between sessions, deal with your ‘saboteurs’, and emerge on the other end – transformed!

I’m sightly embarrassed to admit that with this programme I have now invested into 6 programmes at $5k or thereabout.

But… it has paid off EVERY single time! Not just returning the investment many-fold, but making a HUGE difference to my quality of life.

Last programme I signed up to last year helped me reduce my working hours 5-fold while getting paid twice as much.

So now I make such decisions with a lot of [research &] JOY!

I learnt to TRUST myself that this is not creating a hole in our family budget, but an exciting opportunity that will move us forward.

Bottomline – I’m really excited to be working with you, Shay ☀️ Rowbottom and Jonathan Palmar
I’ve been stalking you for a while…

Have you spent $5k on a coaching programme before? What inspired you to sign up? Did it deliver on the promises?
