Unleashing the Power of the PDFs Framework: How Coaches Can Benefit from It

Are your offers gathering dust on the virtual shelf? Do you feel like you're pouring your heart and soul into marketing efforts that don't translate into sales? If you're nodding your head in agreement, it's time to get real about understanding your ideal client.

It's not enough to just have a surface-level understanding of their problems. You need to dig deep, like really deep. This means understanding how their problems are impacting their day-to-day life and creating ripple effects in other areas. This is where my proprietary method, the PDFs Framework comes in - it's a game-changer for coaches who want to truly understand their ideal client and create irresistible offers that meet their needs.

So what exactly are PDFs? It's an acronym for Problems, Desires, Fears Hesitations and Obstacles and Solutions they are looking for. By diving deep into each of these areas, coaches can gain a comprehensive understanding of their ideal client. This allows them to create offers that resonate with their target audience and ultimately lead to more sales.


Let's break down the PDFs Framework into four elements:

Problems: Are you tired of only scratching the surface when it comes to understanding your ideal client's pain points? Identifying the big problem in their life is just the beginning - it's time to dive deeper and explore the impacts and ripple effects of that problem.?By taking a closer look at the impacts and ripple effects of your ideal client's problem, you'll be able to craft offers that not only solve their immediate pain points but also address the root causes. This level of understanding will set you apart from the competition and help you to build a loyal customer base that trusts you to provide the solutions they're looking for.

  • For example, let's say you're a coach specializing in weight loss. Rather than just focusing on the fact that your client wants to lose weight, ask yourself: how is their current weight impacting their daily life? Are they struggling to keep up with their kids? Are they feeling self-conscious at work? Are they avoiding social situations because of their weight? By understanding the full extent of your client's struggles, you can tailor your offers and solutions to address these specific pain points.
  • Another example could be a coach specializing in career development. Instead of just identifying that your client is unhappy in their job, dig deeper to uncover the root causes of their dissatisfaction. Is it a lack of fulfillment? A toxic work environment? A misalignment between their values and their job duties? By understanding the specific factors contributing to your client's job-related stress, you can offer personalized solutions that truly address their unique needs.
  • Finally, let's say you're a coach focused on relationship issues. Rather than simply acknowledging that your client is struggling in their marriage or partnership, delve deeper into the underlying issues causing the strain. Is it a breakdown in communication? A lack of trust? A difference in values or goals? By understanding the complexities of your client's relationship problems, you can develop customized strategies to help them overcome their specific challenges.

Remember, to truly connect with your ideal clients and create offers that speak directly to their needs, you need to go beyond surface-level problems and explore the deeper impacts and ripple effects of their struggles. So don't be afraid to dig deep and ask the tough questions - it will pay off in the end!


Desires: What truly motivates your ideal client? If you want to create offers that resonate with their desires, you need to dig deeper than just the surface level wants. Understanding the underlying motivations behind those desires will help you to craft offers that truly speak to their needs and values. By tapping into those deep-rooted motivations, you'll be able to create irresistible offers that your ideal client simply can't resist. So, don't just scratch the surface of your client's desires - dive deep and discover what truly drives them.

  • Let's say your ideal client is a fitness coach. It's easy to assume that their clients want to lose weight, gain muscle, or improve their overall health. But what's the underlying motivation behind those desires? Maybe their clients want to feel more confident in their own skin, or they want to be able to keep up with their kids without getting winded. By understanding these deeper motivations, you can tailor your coaching programs to directly address what your clients really want.
  • Now let's look at a business coach. Sure, their clients may want to make more money or land bigger clients. But why? Is it to provide a better life for their family, or to prove to themselves that they can achieve success on their own terms? By getting to the heart of these motivations, you can create offers that not only help your clients achieve their goals, but also fulfill their underlying desires.
  • Finally, let's talk about a life coach. It's not enough to simply ask your clients what they want out of life. You need to understand the deeper desires that are driving those wants. Maybe they want to find purpose and meaning in their career, or they want to develop deeper, more meaningful relationships. By understanding these underlying desires, you can create coaching programs that help your clients achieve true fulfillment in all areas of their lives.

When it comes to understanding your ideal client's desires, don't settle for surface-level information. Dig deep, get to the heart of what they really want, and create offers that speak directly to those underlying motivations.


Fears, Hesitations and Obstacles:?What keeps your ideal client up at night? What are their deepest fears and hesitations? As a coach, understanding these fears is key to creating offers that speak directly to their concerns. By addressing their fears and hesitations head-on, you can build trust and credibility with your ideal clients, and provide them with the solutions they need to overcome their challenges. So, don't be afraid to dig deep into their fears and hesitations - it's an essential part of market research that can help you create irresistible offers that convert.

  • Let's say you're a business coach targeting solopreneurs. You know they may be hesitant to invest in coaching because of the fear that they won't see a return on their investment. By addressing this fear head-on in your marketing and sales copy, and by providing testimonials and case studies of successful clients, you can reassure them that your coaching is worth the investment.
  • If you're a wellness coach targeting people struggling with weight loss, you need to understand their fears around diet and exercise. Maybe they're afraid of failing again, or they're worried they won't be able to stick to a strict diet. By offering a personalized approach that takes their fears into account and provides support and accountability, you can help them overcome these fears and achieve their goals.
  • As a life coach targeting people who are going through a major life transition, such as divorce or job loss, you need to understand their fears around change and uncertainty. By offering a safe and supportive space for them to explore their fears and concerns, and by providing tools and resources to help them navigate the transition, you can help them move forward with confidence and clarity.

Remember, understanding your ideal client's fears is key to creating offers that speak directly to their concerns. So, dig deep and use that knowledge to your advantage!


Solutions They Are Looking For:?What's the point of creating offers that don't meet your ideal client's needs? By understanding the solutions they are looking for, you can create offers that truly resonate with them and make a real impact. And not only does this save you from wasted effort and resources, but it also helps you to build a loyal customer base that trusts you to provide value. So, take the time to understand your ideal client's needs and desires when it comes to solutions, and use that knowledge to craft offers that deliver results.

  • Let's say you are a coach who specializes in weight loss. You need to understand what your clients are looking for in terms of solutions. Are they looking for a quick fix or a sustainable lifestyle change? Do they want a personalized meal plan or an exercise routine? By understanding their specific needs, you can create a solution that caters to their desires and achieves their goals.
  • Now, imagine you are a career coach. Your clients are looking for solutions to their career woes. They may be feeling stuck, unfulfilled, or uncertain about their next move. By understanding their unique situation, you can offer personalized solutions that address their fears and concerns. Maybe they need help with resume writing, interview skills, or networking. By understanding their needs, you can offer solutions that will help them achieve their career goals.
  • Finally, let's talk about a life coach. Your clients may be seeking solutions to a variety of problems such as stress, anxiety, or lack of motivation. By understanding their unique situation and the solutions they are looking for, you can create offers that cater to their needs. Maybe they need a personalized self-care routine, or perhaps they need guidance on setting and achieving goals. By understanding their specific needs, you can offer solutions that will help them achieve a more fulfilling life.

Remember, understanding your ideal client's solutions is crucial to creating offers that sell. By taking the time to understand their needs, desires, fears, and problems, you can create solutions that truly cater to them.
