I wrote previously about the reasons I like being an online coach. Now here are 7 reasons my clients like having an online coach.
1. They have time to think before they answer my questions. They might mull over a really good question for a couple of days before they answer it; getting a far better insight than giving me their gut response. Continue Reading →
I love coaching online, but a lot of people ask me why I prefer it to working with people face-to-face or via telephone. I do offer this type of coaching too, but for me being an online coach is just the best. Here’s why it’s great for me:
1. I can coach whatever time of day suits me depending on what’s going on for me that day. The flexibility means I can go to my daughter’s sports day or have people round for dinner that night and I don’t have to reschedule my clients.
2. I can offer my clients a more affordable solution than face-to-face or telephone coaching, which they like, given the current economic client.
3. My online clients quite often upgrade to become my telephone coaching clients as they experience what I can offer them.
4. I can provide loads of additional tools and resources built into my coaching package, giving my clients more value, without me having to be there (eg I have audio downloads available to the coaches who are my clients on my Making It Happen programme)
5. I can go on holiday, pop into an internet cafe, and still service my clients
6. Client payments are automated which means I don’t have to go chasing for invoices
7. I moved from the UK to New Zealand and took my clients with me, and the time zones don’t matter
How do I do it? I created JigsawBox to let me (and other coaches) become online coaches.
