- Step 1 Objective: You can’t be successful in your coaching sales and marketing efforts until you are clear about your marketing message and to whom you are targeting your message. What problems or issues are they facing and what results are they looking for? What is your unique qualifications that are going to interest your prospects and make them remember you? Step 2 Objective: Get Your Target Market’s Attention – Your target coaching prospects must know you exist. To accomplish this you must use attention-getting marketing message effectively and efficiently. You must incite enough curiosity or desire in your prospect that they will want to take action to get more information. Step 3 Objective: Educate Your Prospects – Inform and educate your prospect because at this stage your prospect wants to know more about your solution to their problem. This step holds the hidden key to coaching sales success because it gives them exactly what they want, information. To be educated. Step 4 Objective: Consult with Prospect – By now you may have had one, two, or even three different interactions with your prospects. You have established a relationship of trust and your prospect now sees you as being sincere in your efforts to help them make a right decision. They are now looking for you to help them sort and sift through all the options and make a good decision with which they’ll be happy. The key ingredient in this step is to listen very carefully to your prospect. If you listen close enough, your prospect will always tell you how to sell to them and what emotional buttons to push to close the sale. Step 5 Objective: Negotiate a Win-Win Deal – At this point, the conceptual sale has been made and your prospect wants to move forward, make their final choice on exactly what they’ll be buying, and finalize the deal. This is also the point at which your prospects will weight the value they are receiving to the price they are paying. Step 6 Objective: Exceptional client Service – This is where the rubber hit the road. At this stage you have made promises to your clients and they have expectations that you will hold true to your promises. Always remember that your client has certain expectations that if met or exceeded will result in a happy client and lots of referrals. Step 7 Objective: Spread the Word – Usually after the sale is made and the services are rendered, that’s all the client hears from their coach. This is a big mistake. As a coach, this your best time for gaining referrals from clients that you have delighted. Your clients are in their honeymoon period and want to talk to others about their positive experience with you. However, by far and away the step that is most often left out is educating the prospect. This results in one-step selling that is akin to cold calling. Who wants to purchase a large ticket item from someone they don’t know or trust? Now you know the coaching sales and marketing process. You can learn the process in a few minutes. It takes knowledge, experience, and patience to learn how to successfully move from one step to the next. Each step has its own unique strategies.
