Show Highlights:

The key to marketing: Find out what emotions your client wants to feel when they work with you.
Five strategies for coaches to use in marketing:
Certainty–Your client is looking for a safe place, a sure set of hands, and someone who is with them on their journey.
Connection–Your client is looking for a tribe and a sense of family and wants to connect with the right people.
Contribution–Your client is looking to be a part of something bigger in the world.
Growth–Your client is looking to grow, either personally or in business, with clarity, development, and empowerment.
Significance–Your client is looking to stand out, speak up, and make more of an impact in the world.
How coaches can identify their main strategy and a secondary one
How to look for keywords in a client’s language that tell you what they are looking for (Take Chantal’s test and get her report and tips on your key marketing strategy!)
Why knowing your key strategy will help you attract clients who are the best match
How Chantal helps her clients pinpoint their strategy and simplify their marketing
Key takeaway from Chantal: “In coaching, it’s not about us and how we feel; it’s about the client and how we make them feel.”

Enroll More Clients: Clarity Sprint

Do you love coaching, but when it comes to enrolling clients, writing your bio, or posting online, you freeze? Or fall into “coach speak” that doesn’t actually connect?

That’s not a you problem. It’s a messaging problem—and it’s costing you clients.

Join me for my free, live five-day experience: Enroll More Clients: Clarity Sprint. From March 16–20 at 9 a.m. Central, I’ll help you get crystal clear on your ideal client, refine your message so it actually resonates, and create a confidence statement that makes booking a call the obvious next step.

No fluff, just clarity, you can use immediately.
