How Successful Will You Be at Getting Clients:
The Viability of Coaching and You as a Coach
Being trained as a great coach is the primary function of any training, but what good is that training if you can't get any clients to actually coach? ... Or, if you can't get others in your organization to buy into, or see the benefit of, you coaching and leading others in this way?
That's our point. While the two skills sets are definitely different, they are inseparable if you are going to have your own coaching practice -- you are becoming both a coach and an entrepreneur.
So, what does it take and what should you absolutely insist be a major component of any coach training program?
For selecting the training program right for you, make sure they include:
-
A Mentor Coach who focuses on your skill development… and without a surcharge or the requirement to find this coach on your own.
-
An integration of a strong business development program within the core coach training program so you become extremely comfortable and confident in talking about coaching and your services… at a minimum.
-
Teleclasses focused specifically on business development—over and above any teleclasses that are included within their core coaching skills training curriculum… at a minimum.
iPEC’s program includes all those and additionally includes these premiere advantages:
- A one-on-one Business Development Coach who focuses on your ability to get a practice up and running quickly.
- Training on the elements of our much acclaimed 6-Figure Coach™ System--a defined program on how to become a 6 figure coach, which includes a workbook that leads you through the roadmap of business development.
- An audio library and training center that you can regularly revisit for a refresher on past presentations, as well as continually updated coaching training and business development, sorted by topic for quick reference.
Coach training schools are primarily focused on helping you become expert coaches. Training on business development is an entirely different skill set. However, this is exactly one of the things you should look for in a coach training school. Becoming a masterful coach but not knowing how to fill you practice doesn't serve you and doesn't allow you to serve others. The coach training school should be able to provide you with the programs to do both: become a masterful AND successful coach.
