I'm a life coach in the UK - how do I get clients?

Does anyone know an effective way to get clients as a life coach?

I've tried delivering business cards to local affluent households but have had no return calls.

My girlfriend suggested networking events, has anyone tried any of these in the UK?

Just for the record I will be an NLP practitioner trained by Richard Bandler in just over 2 weeks time.

Hey ManOfSuccess.
I highly recommend book "Book yourself solid". Currently I am stuck in the same situation but I believe it will help you greatly ! Let's just no give up on it

Good luck

bandler? you lucky b...... )

here's a model how to get clients:

- offer free courses in your community.
(chances are, they already know you and its easier to get credibility!)

- video tape your newly tought clients and get their testimonials in hd quality!

- get as much of the above aspossible

- do not advertise -too much- that it was free
(you can always sell your own book-let-s, or else, even on the free courses)

- as soon as you have good solid testimonials from a bunch of clients preferebly some -even small- businesses, start an offensive marketing strategy (cinema commercials, radio)

- free information evenings for businesses in your area are a good way to get the word out for high value one-on-one coachings... and that's where the money is!

- than pay me 10% for this model, 'cause your rich now )


LOVE
