Our experience as consultants and the new coaches we’re getting are saying it’s creating new conversations they haven’t had before. It’s more interesting. It’s a broader, richer conversation. And you don’t have to stop doing what you’re doing. All the new tools are optional. Day to day basic mechanical things that your clients (who actually have a job) need to figure out. Horrible meetings, annoying emails, bad metrics, no authority. Real business stuff. Round out your practice.
We as coaches like to do what we do.
We have access to many resources: personality assessments, certifications, consultants, etc.
With our combined experience at The Emerson Suite, we did our research and looked at the market:
The history of how the tools were developed
Why we have so many personality tools available
Why that has not yet solved the most plaguing problems impacting corporations and leaders
Traditional source of conflict: the person
Actual source of conflict: the job
People don’t know how they are being evaluated
So they are missing one another’s expectations
One person thinks they get to make the decision
Others don’t agree
Working at cross purposes
The way you know: the two people will argue during the day, and go for a drink together after work
Traditional source of stress: Other people’s personalities, no control, no authority – and a family, no work life balance
Actual source of stress: Decisions are made inefficiently, people spend way too much time in the wrong meetings, and when they are in the meeting its ineffective and unroductive
What happens:
Conflict + stress leads to bad behaviour
But what do we blame? The person isn’t strong enough, the person isn’t smart enough
Let’s take a look at who’s focusing on this?
Starting to introduce new ways of removing stress and handling conflict.
These big name companies are introducing a number of different tools related to setting individual objectives to create role clarity, re-organizing their meetings, and having more meaningful business conversations.
Namely – it’s not longer just about personality. They are realizing that true performance is a combination of 4 key ingredients that I’m going to show you during this webinar.
If you think these companies are too big to penetrate, that’s probably true. They have their coaches already, and they have been very successful.
But look at what is happening around them.
Smaller players are coming out of the woodwork – thousands of venture capital transactions are happening every year in North America.
These companies are looking to what the big guys are doing and are trying to do the same. They are reading the books, following the blogs, and trying to implement the same methods with questionable results
They have fewer resources, and less support. Because they are doing it alone.
Demand for coaching has skyrocketed
The demand exceeds supply
There is a greater call for internal coaches
The market lacks a turnkey, comprehensive process for showing leaders how to manage
Management tools are available but fragmented - this tool for that, that tool for this
Tools are paper based and bureaucratic – technology solutions are sought after as mobile has overtaken
More coaches are looking for a proven methodology – few methodologies are all-inclusive and none are mobile
Coaches are hired to work 1-1 with clients to focus on their apparent effectiveness: how they act, how they look.
Coaching is a high demand industry - Demand is driving growth of the $12 billion coaching market by 6.8% p.a.
- IBISWorld – Business Coaching Report, 2015
The current state provides many opportunities for coaches
Your coaching toolkit will be all in one place, in a one stop shop
Mobile tools that speak to the generation
A proven, integrated, methodology will provide coaches with a solid foundation to build your practice on and to differentiate yourself
Work with your client to focus on real effectiveness: clients were hired to do a job so start there
This is the next generation of coaching
We are going to use a case study. I have a client, a tech company in downtown Toronto – 80 employees.
I was referred by one of my private clients.
The first year coaching, consulting and facilitation program for this client netted me $150,000. This year’s program is $135,000.
At it’s most basic form, the process for finding and retaining clients is this…
And you repeat it over and over and over again.
Make a list – A and B lists
Direct – good client prospect
Referral source
Practice coaching while you’re selling
Think about how much time you need! Assume a 3 step process – find somebody who will talk to you, meet them and show interest, come back with a proposal
Practice coaching while you’re selling
What I did with my client
Creating a dialogue.
A mobile, management toolkit with a proven coaching methodology that will help you maximize client results AND grow your business consistently over time
The Emerson Suite tools if implemented and followed in a disciplined way, will make very leader-manager more effective.
The Emerson Effectiveness Coaching Methodology: methodology that creates discipline and stickiness
Increase retention of your existing client base using our multi-year coaching methodology (to be clarified)
A process that has referral sales built into it - spread it within your corporate client environments to include group and team coaching
I’ll show you how you can access the methodology and tools for this, and then I want to share one final piece of the puzzle – how the prospect makes their decision
IF YOU REGISTER BEFORE THIS FRIDAY WE WILL ALSO INCLUDE THE 3D STYLE PLANNER COURSE – value $695, for free.
And the following promo code that will give you $500 off also ends on Friday. That brings the cost down to $4,995.
Your role as the coach is:
To have a track record – and if you don’t have one, you can buy one – use a proven methodology
Build a deep relationship with the prospect, and deepen it as their coach – use amazing coaching skills during the sales conversation – listen really really really well
Show value – get results – and measure the results – one thing we hear over and over again is that the value of coaching ROI is still unmeasurable – we disagree. Not if you are focusing on the deliverables each leader-manager has to produce in their job – it is exceedingly measurable
Sell the methodology instead of yourself as a person
IF YOU REGISTER BEFORE THIS FRIDAY WE WILL ALSO INCLUDE THE 3D STYLE PLANNER COURSE.
