You have to clearly guide your potential and current clients through your processes. Don't assume they know what to do next or what the result will be when they do.

Giving people the next steps for potentially working with you, during client onboarding, or when a project is done will help them understand what they need to do and set expectations on both sides.

As a bonus, you’ll get fewer questions. And when people do ask questions, you have something to easily refer back to. Maybe even better for you, potential clients feel confident you know what you're doing because they can see your steps laid out in a plan that will help them achieve their goals.

If you need help with this, you might be a good candidate for one of my Strategy Sessions. Book a free 30 Minute discovery call (link below) with me to find out.

One of the things I love helping clients with is automating their processes and workflows. But, I know not every task should be automated, especially with a high touch and personalized service like book coaching.

Let’s talk about your website for a minute. You only get a few seconds when someone new comes to your site for them to decide if they want to explore more. If they can’t clearly see how you can help them, they’ll move on.

When writers go looking for help, your website should offer them clarity and let them know you understand what they’re going through and exactly how you can help them right now.

In this episode I share questions you can use to review your website and make sure it's attracting your ideal book coaching client.
