Finding Your Coaching Niche

February 7, 2019 by Liz Carter

ShareTweet

One of the biggest hurdles most coaches cross on the way to filling their businesses with clients is finding their coaching niche.

These are the people you do your best work with, who you enjoy coaching, who succeed at their goals, and who send their friends to you.

Some coaches turn “finding my niche” into a massive problem that stops them from succeeding.

That’s the real problem. It doesn’t have to be that way.

Even if you have plenty of clients, identifying a niche can be useful, so here are some tips for finding yours.

Identify Your Ideal Client

Be specific: what do they like to do? How do they contribute to society? What is their learning style? Where do they spend their time, on and offline? Are they willing and able to pay for your services? Research and answer as many questions as you can and put it into your mindmap.

Look at Your Current Clients; Who are Your Favorites, and Why?

Survey them. What are their problems, needs, and goals?

Identify your Unique Strengths, Gifts and Talents—And your Weaknesses.

Sharing these weaknesses and how you are working on them makes you relatable, and develops a trusting relationship.

What do Your Clients Need From You?

And where does that connect to your strengths and areas of expertise? Think of examples of great results you have had with past clients and find ways of repeating the process with your niche clients. You can also categorize the most common problems your ideal clients have.

Research these problems. Make a list of questions you can ask, to help them solve these problems.

Hire a Personal Coach or Join a Mastermind Group

Invest in training. The accountability and connection will help you pinpoint strategies to drive the right clients to your business. If your weakness is marketing or closing the sale, mentorship will save the day!

This is how I help you make your business more efficient with the support of awesome people want to help you.

You Can Start Coaching Without a Niche

If you just start coaching, your niche will find you. Over time, notice who your favorite clients are. Make a note of what exactly it is you like about coaching them. In particular, notice the clients who refer more clients to you. Think about who they are, how they are, and how you communicate with them. Design a website just for them. Ask them for testimonials. Ask them to review your site and tell you what they like and don’t like. Edit until they love it. That’s how to market to your niche. Easy when you know how.

Student Success Stories

Becoming a Certified Life Strategies Coach at the Spencer Institute has been a great way for me to grow my coaching business. I really liked that I could work full time while learning life coaching on my own time schedule. Now I have coaching clients, and also attract more psychotherapy clients who choose me because I can offer coaching in addition to psychotherapy.

Earning the Spencer Institute's Wellness Coach Certification was an excellent addition to existing education and experience. I now have a highly successful blog, healthy cooking business, cook books and much more. The sky is the limit.
