242: Coaching Skills That Create Clients and Keep Them

Marketing can get you attention, but it's your coaching skills that create clients — and keep them. When you're selling coaching, teaching, or any kind of transformational work, the deal almost always gets sealed in a conversation, where someone gets to feel your energy, see how you think, and get a real sense of what it would be like to work with you. And once they say yes, those same skills are what get them results and make them never want to leave. I'm breaking down the three foundational coaching skills I rely on in every conversation I have. That includes someone I've just met at an event, a potential client, a colleague who might refer me, and a client I've been working with for years. They aren't as easy peasy as they sound, and they're what turn visibility into clients and clients into long-term relationships. **Listen to learn more about:** 1. What closes the gap between your marketing and actually making the sale 2. The three coaching skills I think every coach and service-based business owner needs to master, including one I coined myself 3. Why the simplest-sounding skill takes an unbelievable amount of confidence 4. What separates a good coach from an exceptional one in a single conversation 5. How the right question in the moment can create a breakthrough and show someone how good you are at what you do, without coaching them without permission 6. How to handle it when a client isn't happy with their experience, and why that takes coaching skills, not just customer service 7. Why showing up powerfully in any room starts before you ever say a word If your work happens between two humans, this is how your clients choose you and why they stay.
