If you’ve been putting into practice everything we’ve talked about in the podcast up to this point, then you’re probably starting to generate some interest in your coaching work. And, while that’s exciting, it can also be a little intimating if you don’t know what to do next.

Luckily for you, that’s exactly what I’ll be covering in today’s episode. I’m going to share my advice on what to do when someone says they’re interested in learning more or they know someone else who might be interested in what you’re offering.

Topics covered

  • The first question you need to ask when someone says they know someone who might be a good fit for you
  • The two methods you can use to move forward with a new referral source after confirming they do seem like a good fit
  • Why you can’t treat your new potential client like they’re on The Bachelor
  • The exact things I do when someone reaches out to me asking for more information about my Coach with Clarity membership or 1:1 services
  • How I personally conduct my “getting to know you” calls with potential clients
  • The magic question that serves me very well on these calls
  • How the Hero’s Journey factors into these calls
