    In this video I talk about how you should design your first coaching package. When building your own consulting business, one of the hardest tasks is to design your initial offer.
    Don’t waste time trying to create the perfect offer for your first few clients, you’ve never done this before after all, so the initial few clients are going to be a learning experience.
    I recommend you start small when designing your first offer. Ideally, It should be about 90 days.
    This is so you have long enough that you can provide your client with real results, but it’s also short enough that you aren’t stuck with them long-term if you don’t enjoy working with them.
    Another thing to keep in mind is that your process is going to be far from perfect in the
    beginning, but don’t worry about perfecting the process yet, it’s too early for that. At the start, you’re going to be inefficient, and you won’t be entirely sure what to even expect, but the only way to remedy this is with experience.
    This is important to remember when you’re deciding what to offer because ultimately, you’re flying blind until you have your first few clients under your belt.

      Focus on your pain points. Who were you a few years ago? Which problems have which you, or someone else, solved for YOU which you will solve for your clients? This is a great place to start gaining clarity on who your clients will be and what their pain points are.

    Every now and then one discovers a rare gem on RUclips (and that's not easy to do). Your content is an absolute find and an inspiration to anyone thinking of becoming a consultant or coach. I have been a professional consultant for 25 years, and I can say, what you are teaching is first-class material and should be heard by ANYONE thinking of becoming a paid consultant. I don't know you but I am bewildered why there aren't more people listening to this. My many thanks, Luisa, for delivering such generous and GOOD content. Thank you!!

    Hi Luisa, to answer your question about any tips I have: my advice for selling coaching services is do it with an FAQs page, rather than lengthy explanations on a website or brochure. People won't read those, and they don't convert into sales in my experience. FAQs pages with the end phrase being: sign up (if you have an online shopping cart) or How do I sign up? (then a clickable phone number or email) has been converting to sales for two years for me.
    My FAQs are:
    Q: What is a... (name your product, if necessary break it down a little bit)
    A:
    Q: Can you show me an example?
    A:
    Q: When does it take place?
    A:
    Q: How does it benefit me?
    A:
    Q: How does it help me with my (Google ranking or any other specialized value the product you're selling can bring)

    Q: How does it work exactly?

    THANK YOU for the point about learning to BE a good coach early on and not focusing on that efficiency and making the most profit that early on. I have been feeling so torn in this- I build a great business structure from the start (with an epic mentor) but then I was struggling because I'd set up this boundary and structure... and then I didn't give myself room to over-deliver and I felt like I wasn't allowed to give too much of my time. It was totally the opposite of the way I wanted to show up- especially as a new coach like you pointed out! Now, hearing you say this, that instinct I had and the longing for more flexibility and less pressure for efficiency makes a lot more sense! The efficiency can come after I've really set a strong foundation for myself AS a coach too. *boom*
