"I KNOW I could hit 6-figures in my coaching business IF.....
?? "...I could just get CLARITY on my coaching NICHE."
?? "...I could effectively MESSAGE my niche & offer to my market in a way that really RESONATES with them"
?? "...I could attract ideal clients to me who will happily raise their hand to pay for my services"
Sound familiar?
Here's the problem.
Most coaches get their coaching certificates.
And then dive RIGHT into coaching.
Perhaps they even put up a website.
Post a little bit on social media.
Tell their Facebook friends & family they are coaching and ask for referrals.
But still CRICKETS.....
What gives?
If you are struggling to attract ideal clients, you likely are missing at least 1-3 foundational elements?when it comes to your coaching business.
And the truth is.... all the posting on social media in the world will NOT matter unless you have these 3 foundational elements locked in.
1) CHOOSE A PROFITABLE NICHE YOU LOVE
Clients prefer to hire?specialists?&?experts?over generalists.
From a marketing perspective, this will be the game-changer in jump-starting your coaching business.?
YES, you need to choose a niche.
YES, when you speak to "everyone" with your copy... you are essentially speaking to "no one."
Your niche should be the perfect combo of....
?? An area you LOVE to coach &?
?? A clientele base who can happily pay for your services.?
From a business perspective, choosing a niche will SIMPLIFY & STREAMLINE your business...
? You will only need 1-2 coaching packages focused on your niche only?
? Your website copy and content marketing will be SO much easier to write when you are speaking to ONE person instead of many.
? You won't need to reinvent the wheel with how you serve your clients. You'll become an EXPERT at solving one problem versus a GENERALIST who is scrambling to help everyone.
When you are seen as an expert in your field, your clients come to YOU. Seek YOU out.
2) NAIL YOUR MESSAGING
Above and beyond choosing a niche.... where most coaches go wrong… is they can’t succinctly EXPLAIN or write copy on their coaching services in a way that CAPTURES the attention of their prospects.
Clarity is king & this part is critical.
"Nailing Your Messaging" means....
???Learning how to write a STRONG niche statement (that will go on your website, social media pages, etc) Use your niche statement to attract clients, like a candle attracts moths to a flame.
???Learning how to validate the market. And cross reference what your ideal client avatars are telling you with the words you use in your niche statement. (Your niche statement should be in THEIR words and not yours.)
???Solving ONE urgent problem. Producing ONE major outcome or result. And being able to clearly EXPLAIN this to your audience.

3) STRONG POSITIONING
Last but not least, how are you POSITIONED in the market amongst your competitors?
How do you STAND OUT in your industry?
It's important that you research your competitors and identify.... what is YOUR secret sauce? What is YOUR unique qualifier?
Strong positioning will allow you to....
? Become the Expert Authority in your space (Clients flock to EXPERTS)
? Exist in a Category of One (competitors have nothin’ on you!)
? Attract ideal clients to you who can afford your services.
Even if you DO have a niche, if you are attracting clients to you who can't afford your services, we may have a POSITIONING problem.
Me: OK, where are we at now folks??
You: UGH!!!! I still need help with choosing my niche!?
OR
You: UGH!!!! I think I have a handle on my niche but I definitely need help with my messaging & using copy that's cross-checked with my market validation.
OR
You: I attended Betty's Choose Your Niche Nail Your Bootcamp in the past.... but I still need help with POSITIONING myself strategically in the market!
