So keep your eyes open for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Prosperous-Coach-Increase-Income-Clients\/dp\/1600250300\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">books<\/a>, courses, guides, and sales coaches who can help you accelerate the process and improve your sales skills.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>It will pay off in the long run and contribute to your efforts in coaching business development.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 id=\"h-2-i-need-to-succeed-more-than-i-fail\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. I need to succeed more than I fail<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>This is an ambitious goal, but it\u2019ll likely set you up for the exact thing you want to avoid: failure.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>If you go into every sales conversation with an attachment to the outcome, your clients will smell the desperation.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>If you approach potential clients thinking, \u201c<em>I need to get them to say yes<\/em>,\u201d they will sense that and turn away.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>And who can blame them? You probably wouldn\u2019t sign with a coach who seems desperate, either.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>So what can you do instead? Show, don\u2019t tell.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>When you\u2019re on a sales call, think of it as a coaching call. Focus on creating transformation for your potential client. Ask them about their biggest challenge and show them how you\u2019d approach it with coaching.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>This gives them a taste of what it\u2019s like to work with you <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mindvalley.com\/coaching-skills\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">and your skills<\/a>, so they will be more likely to return to you as paying clients.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 id=\"h-3-they-don-t-want-me-to-sell-to-them\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. They don\u2019t want me to sell to them<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Many coaches think their potential clients hate being sold to, but this is far from the truth.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>People don\u2019t dislike being sold to. They dislike those who sell without <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mindvalley.com\/sales-integrity\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">integrity<\/a>. That\u2019s a big difference.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>When a potential client gets on a call with you, they want to hear the truth.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>They want to know about your coaching skills, and they want to know how you can <a href=\"https:\/\/hbr.org\/2018\/12\/the-5-things-all-great-salespeople-do\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">help create a change in their lives<\/a>. And if they feel good about what they\u2019re hearing, they want you to share how they can work with you.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>In other words, they want you to sell.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>So tell your clients what they need to know, and give yourself permission to share your offer with them.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>When you do, you\u2019ll feel more relaxed and inspired to sell yourself.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 id=\"h-4-i-ll-attract-more-paying-clients-if-i-lower-my-rates\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. I\u2019ll attract more paying clients if I lower my rates<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>This belief is probably the most damaging one on this list.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>So many coaches\u2014even those who\u2019ve been in the game for a while\u2014believe that their challenges around selling have to do with their price.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>They decrease their rates and end up wondering why their sign-up rate dips even lower.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Here\u2019s the truth: Clients aren\u2019t looking for the cheapest coach. They\u2019re looking for the one who can deliver the biggest value to them.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>This is why there are coaches who can charge thousands and thousands of dollars for a few hours of their time and still have a long waitlist of clients.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>If you want to improve your sign-up rate, forget about compromising on the price.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Instead, focus on becoming the best coach you can be, and your sign-ups will skyrocket on their own.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 id=\"h-5-i-need-to-perfect-my-sales-pitch\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. I need to perfect my sales pitch<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Pitching a client during a sales call is a bad idea.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Yes, you need to know how to describe your business and answer your client\u2019s questions, but don\u2019t rely on scripted answers.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>You\u2019re not a used car salesman; you\u2019re a coach.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>So don\u2019t pitch your client; talk to them.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Memorizing a sales script will sound canned and inauthentic, which will lead to your client losing trust in you. So forget about the script and have a conversation instead.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>You might wonder how to sell coaching services online, where you\u2019ll need to establish a trusted connection with your client through a screen.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>However, conducting your discovery calls online can actually help your case.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Establishing an online presence on your website and social media gives your clients a chance to look you up beforehand. This way, you can simply focus on answering their questions and bringing your most authentic self to the call.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 id=\"h-become-a-client-magnet\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Become a client magnet<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Even the highest-paid coaches in the world started out with zero sales. They all worked on their mindset and practiced their skills to get to where they are today.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Overcoming these five limiting beliefs is a great place to start shifting your sales mindset. And when you do, you\u2019ll be able to connect with potential clients from a place of love, authenticity, and genuine confidence.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>If you want to dive deeper into the art of masterful coaching, join us in the free <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mindvalley.com\/certs\/life\/masterclass?utm_source=blog_inline_link&amp;utm_campaign=launch_clc_jan_2023&amp;utm_medium=end_of_article&amp;otag=mv_blog_certs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong><em>Become a Mindvalley Certified Life Coach<\/em><\/strong><\/a> masterclass.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Here\u2019s what <a href=\"https:\/\/stories.mindvalley.com\/show\/mindvalley-certified-life-coach\/this-program-gave-me-hope-and-encouraged-me-to-challenge-my-own-beliefs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Nimmy Sabu<\/a>, a holistic life coach from Herndon, U.S.A., who went through the program, said about it:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>\u201c<em>I learned to thrive in discomfort and break many of the patterns that were holding me back for a long time.
