Jonathan Haber is a personal coach with a fascinating mash-up of interests and clients, including meditation, yoga, wellness professionals, coaches, artists and facilitators. His post on 101 Ways to Get More Coaching Clients is a list of ideas that are helpful to any facilitator, consultant, coach or creative practitioner, whether re-booting a client base or building one from scratch.
Examples:
17. Create a competition with your friends and family. Whoever gets you the most referrals, you will donate to their favorite charity in their name. (this way everybody wins)
25. Offer a reporter from your local paper free sessions in exchange for a write up. It will not only talk about you, but contain their own personal experience as well. (work with your own coach on the pressure of “giving them great value under pressure”.)
And my personal favorite:45. Fight your gremlins about where your clients will come from. Set your intention and put it out to the universe, believe in yourself and that the clients will come – AND THEY WILL COME.
53. Bundle your services with another professional who is selling a package.
See all 101 Ways >>55. Ask yourself, “what would be the most effortless and fun way to get new clients?” before taking a nap.
