Executive Coach or Business Coach Did Your Business Grow By 40% in 2006
Possibly the answer may lie within the increase of coaches or competition within this exploding industry. The International Coaching Federation had 2,122 members in 1999 and grew to 11,100 in 2006. Additional indicators of the increase in business coaches or executive coaches is from franchises such as The Growth Coach. In 2003, there were 6 franchises and this has increased to 131 franchies in 2006.
Here are some additional answers that may explain why your business did not grow given the potential within the market place:
Poor marketing efforts from 30 second introduction to website Poor sales skills from not having a sales process to actually closing the deal Poor coaching process No focus on results
Coaching is all about being able to secure the desired results. Yet, many coaches invest thousands of dollars in coaching certification, but fail to understand that certification alone will not deliver better results. Just because you are certified, does not automatically translate to you as an executive coach or business coach being selected over someone who is not certified.
Recently, a certified coach asked me: Who certified me? I simply answered my clients who state that I provide a significant return on investment from doubling their results to delivering 10-fold investment. If as an executive coach, you are unable to demonstrate significant measurable results, then why would anyone want to invest in your services? Remember: Coaching is an investment not an expenditure.
If you want to increase your coaching business by at least 40% next year, then return to your strategic plan and take the time to determine why you are not at the head of the pack. Construct your goals to increase sales and infuse them into your strategic action plan. Then work your goals and rework your goals until you achieve your results.
