This episode is inspired by a recent look at my business analytics, which are confirming that my business is surging right now and yours could be too! Find the full transcript for this episode at prosperouscoach.com/144.

What are business analytics and why am I talking about them? 

Well you can’t know what times are most effective for promotion unless you set up and track analytics. Sound complicated? Not really.

For me, there are 7 sets of numbers I regularly review and track that tell me how many people:

1.     are on my website and how long they engage there

2.     are subscribing to get my freebie

3.     open and click through on the links in my emails

4.     listen to my podcast and what percentage of the episode they listen to

Never Hard Sell Your Coaching Prospects

And I want to make it clear I’m not talking at all about constantly asking people to hire you or posting ads all the time. I don’t believe in that pushy approach.

If you’re running your coaching business the way I do and the way I teach my clients in my VIP program, you are using the simplest coaching business model and have built a beautiful customer journey so your ideal clients steadily flow right to you ready to enroll. 

I’m not advocating hard selling. Consistent non-salesy marketing is the best approach for coaches.
