EP294: Successfully Building A Health Coaching Business While Working Another Job - Part 1 Jan 31, 2023

We are constantly interacting with Health Coaches and learning what obstacles they face when it comes to building their wellness business. Most of the coaches we talk to want to have a full-time thriving practice which we absolutely love. We know that each client you help will ripple out to their friends and family in a way that truly changes lives.

That said, one of the most challenging situations a health coach faces is when they are trying to build their wellness business while also working another job. We get it – you need to keep paying the bills until your coaching business can replace your income.

When this is the case it’s imperative that you become extremely intentional with your time as well as streamline your day-to-day tasks as much as possible. This week, we’re kicking off a two-part series called: Successfully Building A Health Coaching Business While Working Another Job.

In this episode you’ll discover…

Why we are totally addicted to the 12-week planning model and why this process will help you reach your goals more quickly than anything else you’ve ever tried
The key to understanding when you’re most productive and why time-blocking your schedule based on your unique rhythm is your path to success
How outsourcing, even on a project-by-project, basis can be the catalyst you’ve been looking for to set your business up as a full-time practice

There is no time like the present to start planning for your future if quitting your job for a full-time coaching practice is a top priority for you.

This is a great question and I can understand why she’s concerned about the way her email list will perceive her recent lack of communication.

In this episode, we’re sharing three great options for successfully reconnecting with a neglected email list.

EP280: The 3 Key Differences Between a  Free and Paid Workshop Oct 25, 2022

There are two amazing ways to use workshops in your coaching business. The first way is to share the content free of charge with the intention of 1) growing your email list and 2) building a relationship with the workshop attendees.

In the category of list builders, workshops are definitely more time and effort but the results are significantly better so the work is worth it. Your workshop will be considered to be an event and have more appeal than a simple pdf download.

The second way to use workshops in your coaching business, and what we will going over today, is to charge for the workshop. Paid workshops are a great way to give your followers a low-cost way to work with you, (which can definitely be part of the nurturing process and relationship building that is needed to help them get more comfortable with a higher investment down the road), and it’s a great way to give your revenue a boost anytime you want.

In this episode you’ll discover…

The 3 key differences between a free and paid workshop
How much you can charge for a paid workshop that supports your clients in their health journey
An easy way to expand your free workshop content from one hour to a paid workshop, (2-3 hours), without needing to recreate the wheel or start from scratch

Tune in now to find out the 3 key differences between a free and paid workshop.

EP273: Are your Facebook Analytics Accurate & How To Verify Your Results? Sep 06, 2022

Taking time once per month to review your Facebook analytics is a great way to determine if what you’re posting is getting engagement and working to build brand awareness. This week we’re talking about the analytics that are provided on your Facebook business page.

I recently had a coach post this question… ‘So my reach and engagement numbers are increasing incrementally every month. EXCEPT that there are 0 link clicks?!! What?! I have a CTA at the end of almost every post, different ones depending on what it is about. But does this basically mean, my freebie(s) are NOT working. I mean, a lot of these are educational. But still. 0 link clicks is depressing for all this work.’

Numerical data is always the quickest way to know if things are working or not. Even if you sit down for 15-20 minutes once per month you’ll gain a world of knowledge to help you make future decisions.

In this week’s episode you’ll discover:

5 ways to troubleshoot your Facebook analytics so you can improve your link clicks and overall engagement
Our recommendation for digging into your own analytics and how often you should do it
The best way to verify what the analytics are telling you if you think there is a reporting problem

There are people who will be looking for more affordable options to get the help and support they need, and this is where having more than one offer comes in, and that’s what we’ll be diving into today.

Here’s what you’ll discover:

What it means to have more than one offer for your coaching business and why now is the time to pivot

EP270: Best Of: How to Fill Your Coaching Programs Without Selling Aug 16, 2022

If there is one thing we know that holds many coaches back from filling their programs and getting new clients, it’s fear of selling. This makes sense because they didn’t get sales training during their health coach certification program but selling is an important part of an effective marketing strategy. What if we could reframe this though, so that you can fill your programs without pushy, spammy sales tactics and use strategies that feel easy and authentic instead?

We like to bring back popular episodes from time to time, and that’s what we are doing today with one we did a few months ago about How to Fill Your Coaching Programs Without Selling.

We’re sharing 3 non-salesy ways to fill your programs, and we are also giving you examples of how to use them:

Share your story - why are you doing what you’re doing? Does your journey relate to them based on where you were when you started and where you are now?

Share client success stories - people want to know it has worked for others and it helps lower skepticism.

What result can you help people get in your program?

If you want to know how to use soft-sell techniques that lead to paying clients, be sure to tune in.

EP257: 5 Types of Free Offers to Grow an Email List Full of Ideal Clients May 17, 2022

There are all kinds of different free resources you can use to grow your email list and today we are covering 5 of the most common and most popular ones.

Before you decide on the type of freebie you want to create, it's important to keep a couple of things in mind:

The topic and title of your freebie are WAY more important than the format you use (a PDF guide vs. video series for example) because your free offer should provide a small solution to a problem or struggle you know your ideal clients have.

Your freebie should directly relate to your paid program and what you offer. So, as you toss around ideas for what to put together, ask yourself if it ties into your coaching program in a logical and seamless way.

In this episode of The Wellness Business Podcast, you'll learn:

The simplest and easiest type of free offer you can create on your own
The best format for testing your freebie title and topic
The freebie option that will accelerate your email list growth the fastest

Tune in to discover which type of free offer might be best for you AND your audience right now, so you can start growing your email list now.

EP253: 4 Ways To Dial In Your Marketing Message Leading To More Clients Apr 19, 2022

Now, more than ever, it's important to be crystal clear in your marketing message of who you help and how you help.

So many coaches that we work with believe that the more people they market to the more customers they'll get. While on the surface this seems like a reasonable conclusion the reality is it's the exact opposite.

A better strategy is to identify your ideal client identity - the people who will most benefit from what you're offering-and create programs and marketing messages that appeal just to them. If you build something they love they'll spread the word for you and become your biggest raving fan.

In this episode of The Wellness Business Podcast you'll discover:

4 Ways To Dial In Your Marketing Message Leading To More Clients
Why reducing your overall customer pool will actually lead to more paying clients
The importance of creating a marketing message that appeals to your ideal clients and leaves them wanting to learn more about what you do

EP240: How Fill Your Coaching Programs Without Selling Jan 18, 2022

We know from working with thousands of coaches in our courses and done-for-you programs that selling is one thing that most wellness business owners feel very uncomfortable about, so they avoid it as much as possible.

The problem with avoiding promoting your programs is it prevents you from growing your practice. If you aren't making offers and inviting people to work with you, how are you going to get clients?

What if there was an easier way to do this? Would that interest you?

In this episode we’re covering how to fill coaching programs without “selling” in the way you think and likely dread.

Here are 3 easy ways to fill your programs without selling, and then we'll give you examples of how to use them:

Share your story - why are you doing what you're doing? Does your journey relate to them based on where you were when you started and where you are now?

Share client success stories - people want to know it has worked for others and it helps lower skepticism.

What result can you help people get in your program?

If it makes you uncomfortable to invite people to join your programs and working with you, you won’t want to miss this episode all about how to fill your coaching programs without feeling salesy.

EP239: How to Use Your Facebook Group to Grow an Email List Full of Warm Leads Jan 11, 2022

Having a Facebook group for your health coaching business can be a great strategy because it allows you to truly build a community of people who want to learn from you. A free group can be part of the customer journey and it's a key touchpoint for them because they can keep coming back to your group day after day.

The people who are most likely to sign up for your coaching programs are those who know you, trust you and feel connected to you, and this is called a warm audience. You hear us say this a lot, but it's important to use social media to grow your email list, and this can be done very easily when you have a Facebook group.

Here are the 5 strategies we are covering in depth on this episode:

Include a link to your freebie in the welcome post at the top of your group, so it's the first thing people see when they join.
Post a link to your free offer in the description of your group.
Post about your new freebies as you create them.
A weekly welcome post where you tag new members.
Use one of the 3 screening question for new members as a way to grow your email list.

EP236: BEST OF: 3 Simple Steps to Nailing Your Niche Dec 21, 2021

After working with and providing done-for-your resources for thousands of health coaches over the years, the number one thing we see with the coaches who are the most successful is that they have a very clearly defined niche which conveys exactly who they help and how they help them. This comes down to the problem you solve for a select group of people rather than having a very general message that doesn't resonate with anyone.

We are walking you through how to come up with a compelling niche statement that succinctly explains what you do, so when someone asks you what you do, so you know exactly what to say and you feel confident about it. This will also give you clarity on what type of content to create and share with your audience because the more specific you are, the more you will attract the right people.

There are 3 P's to this 3-Step formula, and we're diving into each of them on this episode:

1. People - Who you help

2. Problem - The problem they have

3. Process - How you help them - the solution

Once you have this dialed in, you'll feel confident about your niche and you'll also be able to easily communicate the answer to "What do you do?"

Tune in to learn more about the 3 steps, so you can finally nail your niche.

EP231: How To Plan and Promote Your Next Livestream Video for More Engagement Nov 16, 2021

The demand for live video is at an all-time high right now and predictions are that it's only going to become more and more necessary for anyone that is building an online business. This demand all started when social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram added options for showing up on video. They've encouraged us to create that type of content by rewarding us with increased organic reach leading to further engagement with the people we're trying to connect with on social media without paying for advertising.

Currently we have tools like Facebook livestreaming, Facebook and Instagram stories, IGTV, Instagram Live, and Reels. It seems like every time we turn around there is a new way to connect through video which is precisely why it's time for you to incorporate this into your marketing strategy.

In this episode we are covering:

Why livestream video should be critical piece of every online business owner's client attraction and sales strategy
Our 8-step process for planning and promoting your next livestream video for maximum engagement
Why interacting through live video speeds up the journey your dream clients have as they go through your customer journey

While all video content is preferred, there is one form that stands out above the rest because it encourages a two-way conversation, as well as, continued engagement rather than a passive viewing experience.

That type of video is livestream video and that’s what this episode is all about.

EP226: BEST OF: How Often Should You Raise Your 1-on-1 Coaching Prices Oct 12, 2021

EP222: How to Make Your Program Irresistible by Defining the Promise Sep 14, 2021

If you want more clients enrolling in your coaching programs, you have to make it a no-brainer for them to say yes. The best way to do this by defining the promise of the program - this is the outcome or result they can expect if they follow what you teach, or they follow your system. If your promise is vague and general, people won't know if it can help them, but when it's crystal clear and specific, you'll have a lot more people signing up to work with you.

We are sharing some examples of how to do this, and here are a few key questions to ask yourself to get started with defining your promise:

What PROBLEM do you help people solve?
WHO are you solving it for?
What transformation is expected (if they do the work)?
What is the PROCESS that they take to get there?

There are other parts of your offer, which include a sense of scarcity or urgency, bonuses, overcoming objections and more, and we cover all of the in the Wellness Business Accelerator program, but the promise has to come before that. If you don't have a compelling promise, people are going to scroll on by.

Tune in to find out how to make your offer irresistible.

EP217: 3 Secrets to Creating the Perfect Lead Magnet to Attract Your Ideal Clients Aug 10, 2021

Have you ever spent hours building what you thought to be the perfect lead magnet only to launch it and receive no email sign ups?

One of the biggest reasons why this happens is because your lead magnet struggled to truly connect with your dream clients. We see this quite often.

A lead magnet that is too generic and doesn't connect back to what your target audience needs and wants, results in people not signing up for it. If they can't identify that it's for them when reading the title, then they aren't going to want it.

In today's episode we're walking you through the 3 secrets to creating the perfect lead magnet to attract your ideal clients.

In this episode you'll discover:

Three secrets to creating a high-converting lead magnet that has new subscribers signing up for your email list every single day

EP216: 3 Simple Steps to Nailing Your Niche Aug 03, 2021

If you are struggling to figure out your niche, it can feel frustrating. You are not alone because most health coaches don't find this easy to do, but we are going to walk you through a process today that is going to help

Knowing your niche is important because when you narrow in on a specific demographic and you have a solution to their problem, you will attract the right people and repel the wrong people, and that's what you want.

If you try to be for everyone, you message is generic, wishy washy and not compelling enough for people to want to take action or enroll in your programs.

There are 3 P's to this 3-Step formula, and we're diving into each of them on this episode:

People - Who you help
Problem - The problem they have
Process - How you help them - the solution

Once you have this dialed in, you'll feel confident about your niche and you'll also be able to easily communicate the answer to "What do you do?"

Tune in to learn more about the 3 steps, so you can finally nail your niche.

EP214: 5-Part Formula for Writing Client-Specific Video Titles Jul 20, 2021

A video’s title is more than just a minor detail or an afterthought – it’s a major factor in whether people decide to click the play button or not. No matter how good your videos are, weak titles make it hard to get views and grow your audience and we don’t want that. On the other hand, good titles make it easier to stand out from the crowd.

There are 5 key ingredients to a great video title that not only grabs the attention of your dream clients but also gets them to press the play button.

In this episode you will learn:

The 5 key ingredients for writing compelling video titles that are irresistible to your dream clients

EP213: How to Bounce Back from Setbacks in Your Business Jul 13, 2021

On this episode, you'll learn:

How to turn your "failures" into triumphs
The 3 specific questions you want to ask yourself if you are getting a low conversion rate
How to be a detective to figure out where things went wrong, so you know what to do to turn it around

Bonus Episode: 3 Incredible "Health Coach" Success Stories Feb 18, 2021

Today, we’re sharing 3 inspiring health coach success stories from our students and each one is unique in its own way. Some of these students had inconsistent success in the past and others had no business foundations in place at all when they started working with us.

What you’ll notice is that there are some common threads between all three of these ladies.

They each spent time laser-targeting their ideal client at a level they never had before.
They pushed themselves outside their comfort zone and beyond the nagging voice of resistance that kept whispering in their ear.
They all saw major shifts in their businesses and boosted their revenue within 90 days of working with us inside our program which we’ve recently restructured as the Wellness Business Accelerator.

We are going to walk you through their stories and their success and what we believe was the thing that made all of the difference in reaching a new level of revenue in their business.

In this episode you’ll discover:

How 3 Health Coaches went from struggling to get clients and make sales to an abundance of clients filling their programs
The main factor that drove their success, (and they all have this in common)
The approach they took to overcome imposter syndrome and the fear of niching down to a single dream client identity
What each coach did right that contributed to them finally feeling like they have a real business rather than an expensive hobby

You’re invited!

The doors are open to our Wellness Business Accelerator program until Feb. 20th, so if you want mentoring and support in building your wellness business, we would love to have you join us.

Lead magnets are a great way to build your email list, but there is one essential piece to the puzzle that you have to keep in mind so that your email building efforts actually turn into paying clients. We’re sharing that missing link in this episode!

The purpose of a lead magnet is to incentivize your audience to sign up to your email list in order to generate sales to your program or offer.

What to look for with your own free offers to determine if they need some adjusting in some way, so you get better results.
Remember, your lead magnet should be designed around the goal of leading your audience to make a purchase of your paid offer, so keep that in mind as you create your free resources.

or you’ve been holding back on making offers, we promise you’re going to get clarity today.

If we called one of your recent clients, would they say they had a WOW experience working with you?

Why are we asking you this question? Because it’s one of the best ways to get referrals (a free, and very effective marketing strategy).

In Pat Flynn’s book, Superfans – “The Easy Way to Stand Out, Grow Your Tribe and Build a Successful Business,” he says:

We couldn’t agree more, and on this week’s episode of The Wellness Business Podcast, we’re sharing our take on this, including specific examples, so you’ll know how to put this into place in your business.

You’ll discover:

Real-life examples of some of the WOW experiences we've had in the past year, so you use them as inspiration
How you can create a WOW experience for your clients (with little to no cost)
Examples of what we did for our health coaching clients to make them feel special
Ideas of what you can do for your clients to go above and beyond to delight and surprise them

It doesn’t take a big gesture to stand out, and go the extra mile, but it makes you memorable, and it’s one of the things that prompts people to rave about you. Tune in to learn how!

EP149: How to Decide if Your Website Needs a Refresh Apr 21, 2020

We often tell our clients that their website should be considered their online home. It’s the place where their dream clients can go to find out more about you and your offerings.

When is the last time you reviewed your website through the eyes of your potential clients?

Is the messaging clear and does it immediately give your ideal clients the feeling that they are in the right place?

As you continue to refine your marketing message and who you serve, you may find that your website needs a refresh.

That’s exactly what happened recently when Karen did an audit of her website. The messaging and content needed tweaking.

In this episode of The Wellness Business Podcast, Kathleen picks Karen’s brain to share exactly how she approached her website refresh, including:

The main question to ask yourself to determine if your website needs a refresh
How to make sure that your marketing message aligns perfectly with your main offer

Bonus Episode: 10 Ways to Generate Income This Month - COVID-19 Action Plan Apr 16, 2020

As we were discussing additional ways to support our members of The Wellness Business Insider’s Club, we realized that sharing practical ideas on how to generate revenue right now is a top priority.

We hosted a BONUS Zoom call for our members last week about 10 ways to generate income this month, and we decided to share part of the call here on the podcast - minus the Q and A.

We know you’ll get a lot of value out of this and we hope it sparks some ideas that you can implement this week.

We have decided to open the doors to The Wellness Business Insider’s Club (our mentorship and training program) on June 1st (rather than waiting until the fall as we had planned), but we will ONLY be promoting it to our email subscribers and those who have joined the wait list.

EP148: How to Find Unique Ways to Promote Your Programs Apr 14, 2020

We did something fun for this episode by recording an off-the-cuff episode while we were on the road in San Diego.

This episode came about because Kathleen realized she needed to be more intentional with the topics she’s covering on her livestreams, so they dovetail more seamlessly into her offers (done-for-you programs). She loves teaching about marketing and social media, so as she and Karen were discussing this, Karen suggested that teaching about using livestream video would be a great fit for some of the topics (livestreaming involves social media and marketing).

Livestreaming is a good fit for a topic because her programs can be made even more effective when coaches add an element of live video, such as running challenge and/or running online group programs. The programs can also be made more successful when coaches use livestream video to promote and fill them, so it’s a great fit.

You want to think about how you can tie in what you like to teach about that will also lead to your paid offers in a seamless and non-salesy way, and in this episode, you’ll get ideas on how to do just that.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

How to identify an area you like to teach that will make your offer the next step for people to feel more confident and equipped to invest in your program
The common questions your audience want the answers to that will make them more likely to join your program
The top 2 objections most of your ideal clients will have, and how to address them up front to enroll more clients
What to focus on more during your discovery call with potential clients to increase enrollment

If you’re wanting to find different and unique ways to promote your programs, you’re going to love this episode. Tune in now!

The #1 thing you have to do for your audience to connect with you and feel compelled to take the next step
The top reasons why you aren't getting engagement on social media (this was an awesome dose of tough love that we appreciated)

EP144: 5 Simple Ways to Repurpose Your Content to Reach More People Mar 17, 2020

If you’re finding it challenging to come up with content to share with your audience on a regular basis, you are not alone. This struggle is not unique to the health and wellness industry, so don’t beat yourself up about it if you’re finding it difficult to find the time and topics for your content.

The great news is that one piece of content can be used multiple ways, which means you can share your knowledge in different formats and save yourself a ton of time. This often also results in reaching more people, especially when your content is being shared by your audience.

In this episode, we’re going all in on:

What content marketing is and the most common ways to share content
5 unique ways to reuse content every week to reach more people
Specific examples of how to repurpose 4 types of content from one blog post
How to repurpose content to build your email list

Repurposing your content is more than a time saver; it also allows people to consume your content in the format they prefer. Some people prefer video, some love audio, and some would rather just read.

To become known, people need to be able to learn from you and connect with you, so sharing content is one of the best ways to attract more clients.

Bonus Episode: The #1 Thing You Must Figure Out if You Want to Fill Your Programs Feb 02, 2020

We just wrapped up our free 4-part live training series called: The Secrets to Turn Your Health Coaching Hobby Into a Profitable Business. The series is over, but there were so many breakthroughs and a-ha moments, that we wanted to share one of the trainings with you.

Part two of the training series covered client attraction and messaging. More specifically, we talked about the #1 thing you must figure out if you want to have a wellness business that your dream clients are engaging with and enrolling in your paid programs because they know you are the “go-to” person for the problem they are trying to solve.

We also shared how to narrow down your ideal client identity without feeling like you’re missing out on potential paying clients. When you figure out how to do this, you’ll know exactly what’s been missing in your overall marketing message that’s held you back from enrolling paying clients until now.

You’ll also hear a little bit about our mentorship and training program where we help health coaches, nutritionists and practitioners grow a profitable business.

Enrollment is open right now for the Wellness Business Insider’s Club, but only until February 4th. Once the doors close, they won’t open again until the fall.

We would love to have you join us!

Bonus Episode: The Fastest Way to Overcome the Obstacles in Your Business Feb 01, 2020

As you may know, we have a mentorship and training program for health coaches that we open enrollment for just a couple of times a year, and it’s called The Wellness Business Insider’s Club. We started this as a result of hearing from so many listeners who said they love the podcast, and they want more help, support and access to us.

One of things we enjoy the most about the WBIC is monthly hot seat coaching sessions that we do in the members-only Facebook group. This is where our members get to come on with us on a live to get clarity to help them move forward in an area where they need help.

Back in December, we had 3 awesome members sign up for hot seat coaching, and their questions were so good and so relevant to most people growing a wellness business, that we decided to share it with you today on the podcast.

Mary Ann was feeling overwhelmed with finding the time to keep up with her social media presence and content strategy.
Shonda was feeling some resistance around launching the same program again, so she was wondering if she needed to change the content. She was concerned people would get tired of seeing the same offering again. She also had a question about pricing her offer.
Elizabeth had a question about what direction to go with her niche and her offerings since she serves more than one target market right now.

Chance are, you can relate to at least one of these questions.

Great news! As of today, Feb. 1st, we have opened enrollment for the Wellness Business Insider’s Club, but only until February 4th. Once the doors close, they won’t open again until the fall.

If potential clients aren’t recognizing you and your programs as the solution to their pains and problems, your marketing message could probably use some work. Having a clear and specific marketing message is essential for your health coaching business. Your business isn’t going to grow much if you’re just some general health coach out there who is offering programs that anyone could take.

You need to stand out and position yourself as the go-to expert for your skills and experience so that you’re attracting your ideal clients, and to do that, you need to develop a marketing message that actually speaks to them specifically. It’s essentially a cross between your elevator pitch and your tagline!

In this episode, you’ll learn:

Why you need a clear marketing message that speaks to and attracts your ideal clients
How to develop a one-line description of who you help, how you help and the results they could get from working with
How we developed our own marketing messages and how it impacts our client attraction and program enrollment

This episode is perfect for anyone who feels like they aren’t attracting enough or the right clients, so tune in to find out how you can change that with just a few simple steps!

Need even more guidance? Check out this free resource to walk you through the 3-step process that only takes 30 minutes (or less!): “Craft A Marketing Message That Your Ideal Health Coaching Client Can’t Resist.”

EP100: 100th Episode Celebration and Giveaway May 14, 2019

This is a special episode because we’re celebrating the big 100!!!! Thank you for being with us on this journey for the past couple of years.

We thought it would be fun to bring on a few of our past guests to answer the question we posed to them which is: "What is your top suggestion or recommendation for coaches that are just starting out or who are struggling in their business?"

Each of these coaches has a unique perspective on what has helped them grow their business, and we know you’ll be inspired by each one of them. What we loved about their responses is that none of them are about bells and whistles or fancy gadgets. Instead, they share the one thing that has truly been the game-changer for them to move them from a struggling health coach to a profitable business owner running a coaching practice that they love.

Listen in to hear what words of wisdom they have to share with you.

EP99: Social Media Marketing World Conference Recap & Takeaways May 07, 2019

In today’s episode, we’re recapping what we learned at the Social Media Marketing World conference in San Diego. We’re letting you in on what’s happening in the world of social media right now and how you can (and should) pivot to take advantage of the changes.

What was working on social media 1-2 years ago is no longer working, and when you know what is working right now, you can implement the strategies that will help you stand out and allow you to attract your tribe. Organic reach isn’t dead, but you need to know how to use it in 2019 if you don’t want to continue to feel frustrated with your efforts on social media.

Here’s some good news! One of the big take-aways from the sessions we attended is that building a smaller more engaged audience is more profitable and rewarding than focusing on the numbers and vanity metrics.

Another great take-away was the fact that there are 4 main areas that Facebook wants all of us to focus on to build community, and we’re sharing strategies you can use for each of them in this episode.

These are the 4 strategies that will get more engagement, reach and/or interaction:

Video
Stories
Groups
Private Messaging

Tune in to see how to use each of these effectively and find out what to avoid doing.

10 Step Facebook Popup Group Strategy

EP98: How to Use a Facebook Pop-Up Group in Your Next Promotion Apr 30, 2019

Today, we’re sharing a different way to incorporate Facebook groups into your business. This strategy uses a pop-up group which is a temporary group you use for a set amount of time (usually before and during a challenge and/or launch) then it closes down on a pre-determined date. This is different from than having a group you continue to build and keep open indefinitely.

We’re going to share how this can work for you, and we’re giving you an inside look at how we used this strategy with a recent promotion of our own for the Wellness Business Insider’s Club.

If you already have a free Facebook group that you use for everything like challenges and daily posts, you might not need a pop-up group, but this episode will still give you great ideas on how to run a challenge or launch in your current group. Most of the same principles will apply, so you’ll still get a ton of value by tuning in.

We’re breaking down how to use a pop-up group and how to fill it, including:

What questions to ask before you start a pop-up group
How we ran our pop-up group and what we did before the live training series even started
What we did to get crazy high engagement in the group
How to promote your paid program in your group
The importance of creating the right cover photo for your group
What to do with your pop-up group once the challenge or event is over

Whether you want to run a group for a short period of time, or you want ideas for getting more interaction and engagement in your current group, you’ll want to tune in!

Welcome back for another episode of the Wellness Business Podcast! We get so many questions about freebies, giveaways, free offers—whatever you want to call them—and how to create an offer that people want AND also grows your email list.

EP76: Small Win Your Way to A Successful Wellness Business Nov 27, 2018

Today’s episode is all about revelling in small wins. We have had this topic in the works for awhile now, because owning your own business, especially a wellness business, can be tricky; everything feels so incredibly personal. Our businesses ARE personal. Your business is a reflection of you and your brand is definitely a reflection of you. This episode is going to help you find a way to separate you the person, from you the brand.

In this episode you’ll get solid strategies on how to small win your way to a successful wellness business. No one goes from zero social media followers to ten thousand followers overnight, just like no one goes from zero clients to a full schedule. A lot of times, we actually think that’s the case, so we’re going to debunk that belief today. We’ve noticed that many of you are white-knuckling your way through building your business. We experienced the same thing when we started our businesses, too, and we want to let you know what you’re experiencing is totally normal.

In this episode, we talk about…

Overcoming the struggles of building your own business
What it means to have an “All In” or “Not In at All” mindset
How little quits add up and sabotage your success
The power of little commitments and building your way to success

Here are the 10 tips we shared in the episode. Be sure to listen as we explain each one, give examples and share some of our top resources.

1. Pick one or two social media platforms 2. Set your work schedule 3. Delegate 4. Focus on actions that bring clients 5. Keep a to-do list and review it the night before 6. Systematize 7. Be selective of your commitments 8. Implement what you learn 9. Set goals and deadlines 10. Schedule down time to recharge

EP72: Overcoming Objections During Your Discovery Calls - Part 1 with Peter Frumenti Oct 30, 2018

In the past, we’ve covered how to structure discovery sessions but we haven’t gotten a chance to dive into how to handle objections.

This week’s guest Peter Frumenti is the perfect guest for this topic. Peter and his company, Sales Team Six, teach experts how to make more sales through powerful and authentic conversations that move potential clients, take immediate action, and get better results by doing so. For most of us, sales talk feels really awkward, uncomfortable, and “sales-y” but as Peter tell us

The key to a successful sales call
How mindset plays a part in the sales conversation
Peter’s own journey overcoming objections
Providing clarity and listening to prospective clients
The most important things for coaches to focus on during sales calls
