When I started offering my first coaching packages – I was shocked to find out how much more personal rejections feel when you’re offering your very own skills, heart and mind VS someone else’s products or services…
Especially, when the enrolment call goes so well, and the potential client seems sooo aligned!
After conducting 300+ enrolment conversations over the past 5 years of my coaching practice, I thought I developed a pretty thick skin to bouncing back quickly from a client saying “Sorry, not for me”.
And yet this month I experienced the ultimate ‘salles challenge’ of my entire career – aiming to fill 10 spots in my upcoming group coaching programme, all at the SAME TIME! Even though 8 lovely clients already joined the group, the journey wasn’t as smooth as I hoped…
Hearing a few rejections can stop talented coaches from pursuing running the coaching practice independently because, let’s face it, it’s hard and unpleasant!
And yet, how can we stand in integrity challenging our clients to do courageous things – initiating a promotion conversation, interviewing for an exciting role, etc – if we are not fully challenging ourselves to put our heart & mind ‘out there’?
And psssst, it’s possible to get a lot more comfortable and a lot more skilled at converting enrolment conversations into sign-ups.
There are still 2 spaces remaining on my programme for trained & talented coaches who want to grow their income from coaching to £5-10k a month. Book a call with me to find out if it’s right for you:
