You are going to want to read this to the end for a cool offer! We’re all familiar with coaches for our kids’ basketball or soccer teams. They’re people who love a sport and want to pass it on to the next generation. Today is a beautiful Sunday in September, and millions of people are watching their favorite NFL team. So we’re familiar with profession sports teams and their coaches. This past summer we watched the Olympic athletes and their coaches. We’re all familiar with coaches when it comes to sports, but, what is a business coach? A business coach is defined as a professional who can guide and motivate you towards your goals. A coach will help you develop your goals and a plan of action to achieve them. They can be a sounding board for you and help you clarify and tweak your ideas. They can motivate you and hold you accountable. A coach will provide you with ideas and suggestions to get more bookings, higher sales, and attract recruits. Your part in a coaching relationship is, first and foremost, being coachable. What do I mean by this? Are you: willing to step outside your comfort zone? open to new suggestions and ideas? able to trust? able to drop all your excuses as to why you can’t do it? ready to work on your business? a person of your word? when you say you’re going to do something do you do it? in direct sales for the long haul? able to make a decision and stick to it? ready for success? If you can answer yes to all of these questions you’re ready for a coach and you are coachable. You might be thinking, “I’m ready to be coached but how do we accomplish this when I don’t live anyplace close to you?” That’s easy! I call you on a mutually agreed upon date and time, and we coach over the phone. We discuss your business, and you drive the call with your questions and goals. Calls last for an hour, and I’ve been known to go over that time at no additional expense to you. Most of my clients like the idea of coaching once a month. That gives them ample time to put the ideas they’ve received into practice. However, some clients have requested more frequent sessions. It’s entirely up to you and my calendar. Now most coaches charge hundreds of dollars for one session of coaching. The least expensive I’ve found is $125 for one hour. There are also coaches who charge thousands of dollars for an hour of coaching. The most expensive I’ve found is $10,000 for an hour of coaching! The problem with direct sales is - when you need a coach you can’t afford one and when you can afford a coach you probably don’t need one. So what is a person, wanting to have a successful direct sales business, to do? That’s where I come in. I don’t charge thousands of dollars an hour. I don’t charge hundreds of dollars an hour. I don’t even charge a hundred dollars an hour! I’m affordable. The fee is only $50 per session and you can use Paypal or a checking account. Your next step is to click on the coaching button and fill in your information and send it over to me. Once I receive your inquiry I’ll send you a questionnaire so we don’t waste time on your call with information like: what company are you with? How long have you been a consultant? We can get to the meat of the issue and start providing you the information you need to be successful. At the end of each call I ask you two question. 1. Has this been helpful? 2. Would you like to do this again? Some people need only a couple of coaching sessions and they are clear on their goals, what they need to do, and are ready to soar. Others have coached for a year. They like the idea of being held accountable. It’s entirely up to you. If you’re ready to take you business to the next level then click on the coaching button now and let’s get started making your business the business of your dreams. Oh! That cool offer I promised you at the very start? To really find out if coaching is for you, your first call is half price. That’s right — only $25 for you to have a personal one-on-one session with me.
