3. You’ve qualified as a Small Business Coach – what happens now?
First, your course fee is a one-off payment for life, your membership continues way beyond the end of your qualification course.
During the course we teach you how to set up a coaching business, if that is what you want to do. We have created a marketing system that works, even if you have never run a business before.
There are hundreds of people in the UK and thousands worldwide who make an excellent living from coaching – many over £100,000 a year. The coach trainers who work with you thought the qualification programme are all experienced professionals and you can call on their expertise as you wish.
The market for coaching is growing as more and more people become aware of the powerful effects of having one-one one support in their personal and professional lives.
We will show you how to find your own clients then set you up with a system which will allow you to increase or decrease the number of clients you have effortlessly.
You will be shown how to set fees, find an area of speciality and set up a professional practice.
