Integrity and transparency are two of the most important values when running a business. Are you delivering for your clients what was actually agreed (like all-day access or weekly calls)? Do you operate from a place of honesty? How are you showing up when it comes to real numbers or real offers? In this episode, Jill explains the concept of entrepreneurial integrity, how to set boundaries in your biz, and how to always manage it with truth.

"Integrity to me in this industry is everything. And what integrity is, it's very simply, just following through on your word; having some sort of lines in the sand; being principled in some way, shape, or form; being honest." – Jill Coleman

Being a beginner on Internet business (less than 2 years showing up with consistency) is a tough phase to go through.

If you ever felt this way or are going through this moment, this episode is for you!

"People are going to come to you because of the way you make them feel. […] There are ways you can make things feel really personal and really special that gives them just an edge." – Danny-J Johnson

Oftentimes asking your clients for a referral might feel impersonal, right? Your client might feel like they're "selling" a friend or family member and for that reason they don't do it. One of the main tactics to use instead is to approach your client with the Golden Ticket strategy. This strategy helps you get new people, helps your work be more visible, and works really well for attracting leads. In this episode, Jill explains the whole concept of the Golden Ticket strategy.

"The reason why I say this is a really nice strategy is because you don't have to do any front facing marketing. You don't have to do a big launch on Instagram, social media, or e-mail lists. This can actually all happen in house." – Jill Coleman

One of the foundations of a successful coaching business is to attract new leads.

The easiest way to capture these new leads is through landing pages. But do you know how to create one? In this episode, Jill gives an overview on how to create effective landing pages turning cold leads into warm leads.

"Most of your sales will come from people on your e-mail list and the reason why is because your e-mail list's subscribers are people who cared enough about what you're sharing to actually jump through a hoop to get on it." – Jill Coleman

When we create a new program or coaching offer one of the most important steps of the process is the launching phase. We've done all the things, marketed all the details, talked about it in all different ways, but what do we do if none of this is working? What to do when the launch is flopping? In this episode, Jill gives you some insights about this type of problem and explains that your results shouldn't dictate your efforts.

"All of the things you're sharing throughout the launch are what's going to get someone off the fence when it's time to make the decision. And for most people the time to make the decision will be in the last 24-48 hours." – Jill Coleman

Working with someone on a partnership capacity can go both ways: it can be really good and productive or really bad and stressful. It's an important decision that needs to be given a lot of thought. Both visions need to be clear for the brand, and your personal autonomy will be at stake. In this episode, Jill shares some tips and insights about having or not having a partner to run your coaching business alongside you.

"My recommendation high level having done both businesses and just simply project partnerships is: I would – especially if you're a personal brand – start with just your own thing" – Jill Coleman

Working with people in the fitness coaching industry demands a whole lot more than just explaining nutritional concepts, training details, or talking about new research. It requires human connection. It is important to take clients through the whole spectrum of physiology and body composition, but at the end of the day what they really care about is if you can help them.

"I think we fall into a trap as nutrition coaches just to give a nutrition plan and that's great: nutrition is a barrier for a lot of us. […] However there're other parts of this formula that people need to think through." – Danny Coleman

Behavioral change is also an important part of being a high-quality coach and in this episode Jill discusses this topic with Danny Coleman, Head of Coaching at Metabolic Living.
