what i am grateful of, what i learned, what i incorporated into my life. untypical for me i will start with being grateful for MYSELF: – showing up here every day. no matter what. – allowing myself to take MY time on MY terms. – NOT allowing myself to get emotions into the way of my commitment. – for so many unexpected learnings grateful for the people here: – learning with and from you: just the best. – the feeling of home and support: can not even put it in words… – so very different people to meet from all over the world, some of them I dare to claim as "my people" now. the programm itself: – a lot of confirmation, the right way to go. – more clarity and easy to use structure – turned "knowledge" and personal "abilities" in to operational skills. @Ed JC Smith next steps: – getting into action while using the support of ECA and COA – asking for help (yes, not what i normally would do) to hold me accountable for it – defining my support circle to continue working with them for the next steps here. – keep showing up (yet less active here to keep focus on what is important for ME). – still: getting rid of some deep sadness, even if a lot of it kind of disappeared during the last 3 months. yet i know it is not gone, just not surfacing currently... – a lot of "clean up" to do, knowing it is needed to set me free – working on my boundaries and "demands" towards others. – letting go of what needs to go – welcome what i do not even know yet to come.

Hello everyone. I'm just starting this program and I have my first session in a couple of minutes. I'll let you all know how it goes. I am looking at the results of other members and it's just incredible. So here goes!!

I’ve been listening to a lot of sales calls from the coaches in Clients On Automation recently… …and the common theme is that most coaches fail to make sales easily because they over coach. The old ways of thinking that giving VALUE and COACHING means the client will buy from you does not work! Most coaches don't know how to give great value AND have their clients buy consistently. Most coaches give great value BUT the client does not buy. Sound familiar? I know some don’t like the word “sales” – I get it! But the truth is, as a coach, selling your coaching is the best thing you can do for a client. Always remember… …in “sales” your intention should always be to help your client. That’s it! So sales is coaching. Your clients’ current way of thinking has put them in the current position they are in. So when you’re on a sales call, what you need to do is to help your client shift their thinking. If your client already knew what to do and how to do it, then they would already have the result. But, as a coach, you must understand the psychology of selling as a coach specifically… …or else you’ll go too deep into coaching and the client will not buy. Worse than that though… …the client will still have their problem! You will not be able to fix your client’s problem completely in a 60-minute session. If your client is going to fix their problem, they will need to buy your service. Transformation takes time and effort. They need your support to fix their problem. The worst thing you can do for a client in your sales call is to have them think that what you have discussed is enough for them to solve their problem. They will only go away and the problem will get worse. Therefore, YOU MUST NOT COACH ON THESE SESSIONS! You will still give high value in your sales call. Because of your sales call, the client will be able to understand their problem on a deeper level. They will be clear on the method they can take to get rid of their problem. They will know the path to take that will eradicate the problem.
