In this video I talk about how you should design your first coaching package. When building your own consulting business, one of the hardest tasks is to design your initial offer.
Don’t waste time trying to create the perfect offer for your first few clients, you’ve never done this before after all, so the initial few clients are going to be a learning experience.
I recommend you start small when designing your first offer. Ideally, It should be about 90 days.
This is so you have long enough that you can provide your client with real results, but it’s also short enough that you aren’t stuck with them long-term if you don’t enjoy working with them.
Another thing to keep in mind is that your process is going to be far from perfect in the
beginning, but don’t worry about perfecting the process yet, it’s too early for that. At the start, you’re going to be inefficient, and you won’t be entirely sure what to even expect, but the only way to remedy this is with experience.
This is important to remember when you’re deciding what to offer because ultimately, you’re flying blind until you have your first few clients under your belt.

Focus on your pain points. Who were you a few years ago? Which problems have which you, or someone else, solved for YOU which you will solve for your clients? This is a great place to start gaining clarity on who your clients will be and what their pain points are.

The rise of the life-coaching industry has many benefits for both individuals and businesses. Life-coaching can help you achieve personal goals, develop new career aspirations, and improve relationships.

Personally, I know the prominence of one. The essence of financial advice cannot be overstated because having faced my fair share of the markets bad side, I've been able to scale from $18k to 57k following guidelines recommended by my coach.

[@mvanwie]

@@joecaruso06 I couldn’t agree more because. It's always great to hear from a person who has gone through all but sometimes it's unnerving to see your portfolio go from green to red.

[@tommyfisher277]

@@mvanwie Coming from someone who's been actively and passively involved. I concur that consulting an expert is ideal. With the help of Yvonne Annette Lively analysis, I was able to create a $262k portfolio that is earning and learning passively. I am aware of the essence of one beforehand.

[@byrtmallanyk]

Every now and then one discovers a rare gem on KZbin (and that's not easy to do). Your content is an absolute find and an inspiration to anyone thinking of becoming a consultant or coach. I have been a professional consultant for 25 years, and I can say, what you are teaching is first-class material and should be heard by ANYONE thinking of becoming a paid consultant. I don't know you but I am bewildered why there aren't more people listening to this. My many thanks, Luisa, for delivering such generous and GOOD content. Thank you!!

[@Mindsetolympics]

She's very thorough right? I'm trying to learn as much as I can right now from her channel.

I've been a tech biz consultant for 20 years now. I am launching my own coaching program now and have invested $1000s of dollars to other coaching trainers and masterminds. Luisa, your approach is a breath of fresh air. Simple, to the point, arrow to the center of the target content. Thanks for serving this community. I'm launching today...Let's GO!!!

[@ubdmarketing5273]

Hi Luisa, to answer your question about any tips I have: my advice for selling coaching services is do it with an FAQs page, rather than lengthy explanations on a website or brochure. People won't read those, and they don't convert into sales in my experience. FAQs pages with the end phrase being: sign up (if you have an online shopping cart) or How do I sign up? (then a clickable phone number or email) has been converting to sales for two years for me. My FAQs are: Q: What is a... (name your product, if necessary break it down a little bit) A: Q: Can you show me an example? A: Q: When does it take place? A: Q: How does it benefit me? A: Q: How does it help me with my (Google ranking or any other specialized value the product you're selling can bring) A: Q: How does it work exactly? A: Q: What does it cost? A: Q: How do I sign up? (Or Sign up button leading to shopping cart and online payment) A: (Clickable email or phone number if you need to send them further details for payment and completing the sale)

[@dancates2622]

Enjoyed this video! Love the idea of setting a specific time limit for the length of the coaching and the big goal to be accomplished then reverse engineering from that. I can immediately see how that would create a sense of momentum with the milestones.

[@laurenkinghorn]

Wow, Luisa, this is brilliant advice. Thanks so much for going into such detail, this makes things crystal clear.

[@jessicabird282]

THANK YOU for the point about learning to BE a good coach early on and not focusing on that efficiency and making the most profit that early on. I have been feeling so torn in this- I build a great business structure from the start (with an epic mentor) but then I was struggling because I'd set up this boundary and structure... and then I didn't give myself room to over-deliver and I felt like I wasn't allowed to give too much of my time. It was totally the opposite of the way I wanted to show up- especially as a new coach like you pointed out! Now, hearing you say this, that instinct I had and the longing for more flexibility and less pressure for efficiency makes a lot more sense! The efficiency can come after I've really set a strong foundation for myself AS a coach too. *boom*

[@ubdmarketing5273]

This was so helpful, solved my problem precisely, I almost couldn't believe this video existed it was so helpful, and also you saved me so much time. For the past three years I have been doing online coaching and consulting with clients that only required one or two sessions and am branching out into a longer multiple session coaching series in a different field.

wow Luisa this was awesome. great tips massive value here. everything you mention here is exactly what i want to do and i already have one client that i am working with now. He is completely fresh to consulting as well as myself. and I've been helping myself help him create his very own coaching and consulting packages together all the way up to getting his first three clients. And he's actually paying me to do this. My goal is to help as many people as I possibly can on earth to do this same thing. i love it. it really drives my focus. and this just helped me to really organize my packages even better.. thanks so much for this wonderful insight.. wow!
