Talk Up the ResultsThe goal of a sales conversation is to help the potential client envision the positive changes that can be achieved through your coaching program and then ask him/her to make a commitment. Your potential client wants to know how your coaching program can change her life. Here are some easy steps to take to close the sale:
1) The first step is to acknowledge the current reality of the potential client’s life. This means understanding and empathizing with their current struggles, challenges, and pain points. By acknowledging their reality, you are showing that you understand their situation.
2) The next step is to talk up the results. Talk about the transformation that can be achieved through your coaching program. This involves painting a vivid picture of what their life could be like after working with you, and highlighting the benefits and positive changes they can expect to experience. This can include improved health, increased confidence, greater success, or any other positive outcomes that your coaching program can provide.
3) While the potential client is envisioning these positive changes, you then ask them to invest. By asking them to invest while they are feeling positive and optimistic about the potential transformation, you increase the chances of a successful sale and a positive outcome for both you and your client.
In this way you help your client see the value of your services while committing to make positive changes in their life.

Learning something new isn’t always easy, and can seem to take a lot of your energy. On the other hand, it’s been proven that learning new things benefits your brain in the following ways:
1- Learning Programs the Brain
According to Psychology Today, learning is actually the way that your brain gets “programmed”. Think of it like this: when your computer needs an update, you download new software. This download is similar to learning something new. When you learn new things, your brain updates itself, clears out bugs and becomes better than before. So why wouldn’t you want a brain running “on the latest program”?

It can be challenging to identify your ideal customer.
It takes work, research, and patience. Some business owners are hesitant to even start. Their concern is that it may not be wise to limit their audience: Isn’t it just a “numbers game”, and therefore better to target everybody and see who bites?
Unfortunately, unless you have a massive budget, that shotgun approach is doomed. If you try to reach everybody without targeting your ideal customer, you’ll get nobody, because your message won’t resonate. It will fail to cut through the noise and speak directly to your potential buyer.
Small businesses need to limit their focus, so they can target the right people with the right offer. Establishing an “ideal customer profile” (ICP) allows you to narrow your focus and maximize results.
With a good ICP, your message will reach the people who need to hear it.
