Why New Coaches Need Professional Email (Not Gmail)

Your email address sends a message to potential clients before you ever get on a call with them and a Gmail address might be costing you clients without you realizing it.

In this episode, you'll learn:

  • The credibility hierarchy of email addresses and where coaches actually lose clients
  • Why waiting to upgrade your email "once you have clients" backfires
  • The exact cost to set up a professional email (it's less than $9/month)
  • How a professional email instantly positions you as credible—even on day one
  • Why switching from Gmail later creates awkward momentum loss

The first business I helped launch over 20 years ago, now a $45 million company, almost didn't get off the ground because of this exact issue. Twenty years later, new coaches are still making the same mistake.
