Chain of Beliefs

In marketing there is a term called “Chain of Beliefs.”

When someone comes into your community (say on your email list), they have a set of beliefs about their problem and the potential solution.

At the other end is what they need to believe in order to hire you as their coach.

In a "chain of beliefs" you take them through a series of teaching moments from what they currently believe step-by-step to what you want them to believe so that they are ready for your solution.

To give you an example of this, in my coaching many coaches who first come into my community are life coaches who believe that they don't need to dial in their niche. And often they don't understand the importance of having their own proprietary coaching methodology.

So, the first few emails they get from me are to help them see how helpful dialing in their niche will be to building their business faster.

Can they build a business as a life coach?

Probably.

It will just take longer because their messaging won't be targeted to a specific pain or specific goals.

Also, they won't have a proprietary coaching methodology so their solution will be quite general, hard to describe, or sound like every other coach who has been through their certification program.

So, I share how a proprietary coaching methodology has several benefits, such as...

  • feeling more confident in your coaching because you have a method to follow
  • allows you to become really good at that method and it just keeps getting better and better the more people you work with
  • being able to have specific topics to discuss in content marketing
  • sharing that proprietary process in your enrollment conversations.

So, do you see how by discussing these concepts with new people in my community, I can lead them closer to seeing me as a coach who can help them with them?

So, what do people in your community believe now that isn't helpful?

What do they need to believe in order for them to get closer to working with you?

With love & joy,

Sometimes when I talk to coaches, they tell me they’re trying to grow their coaching business.But then when we dig into what they’re doing on a weekly basis…It becomes clear that what they’re really doing is creating an expensive hobby for themselves.It usually looks something like this… (based on my first few years in “business”

Do you want a hobby or a business?

Several years ago, I signed up for a course on selling from a coach who promised we could increase our conversion rates by 50%. That would be amazing if it were true. But it wasn’t.At least for me. About every 10 minutes in the course, I thought, “There’s NO WAY I’m doing that.”Her approach was hard selling at

Recently I set the record straight that growing a business can be simple, but not always easy. And like many things that are difficult, it’s worth it. Because on the other side of this challenge is a more confident and more capable you. And a life where you make good money doing meaningful work that you love. Now to get there,

Tired of selling yourself as a coach?

Yesterday a gal on Instagram sent me a DM after she’d read one of my posts… “What the heck is a coaching framework?” Great question! If you’ve been around for awhile, you’ve probably heard me mention how important it is to have your own proprietary, unique to you coaching framework. But… what exactly is it? Simply put, a Coaching Framework

What the heck is a coaching framework?

A few days ago, I was talking with a friend who’s been struggling to find new clients. She’s a very smart and accomplished woman. She’d led a very successful career working her way up the ladder in a well-known Fortune 500 company. And then she left her corporate career to go off on her own and start
