How Coaches Are Reeling In The Majority Of Their Clients Now

March 18, 2019 by Liz Carter

There are two types of coaches in the world:

One works hard day in and day out, working on their craft but never seeming to gain traction with a client base. The other seamlessly sweeps new clients off their feet and builds a consistent, steady clientele over time.

You see, the key to gaining a solid client base as a coach comes down to one thing alone…

People trust in your expertise.

February 8, 2019 by Liz Carter

December 27, 2018 by Liz Carter

Although there are endless ways to get clients, there are 3 ways to get clients NOW.

The first does not require any special technical skills or training. It just requires you to take action.
