Coaching Discovery Calls That Sell
In this episode of The Coaching Edge, I give specific pointers and actionable tactics for coaches to make their discovery or sales calls feel easier and more natural. I emphasize the importance of being comfortable with your approach to selling and highlight the need for an intake form to gather information about potential clients. I also stress the significance of being clear on the offer and its value. I suggest using automated reminders and engaging in small talk at the beginning of the call to create a comfortable environment.
Additionally, I discuss the importance of understanding the client's needs, sharing personal stories, and mirroring their language. I’ll guide you on inviting the client to join, handling price discussions, addressing objections, and giving clients time to decide.

The Magic of Back End Coaching Groups + Memberships
In this episode of The Coaching Edge, we’ll discuss the concept of back-end memberships as a way for coaches to create group coaching programs. Back-end memberships are small coaching groups sold to clients who have already completed a one-on-one program.
I’ll highlight the benefits of back-end memberships, such as selling to a warm audience and curating a community. I share my own experience of starting a back-end membership for coaching around alcohol and burnout. I provide practical advice on starting a waitlist, launching a beta program, and partnering with another coach.
