50 Trials in 50 Days

The following is an exercise from FirstFiftyClients.com.

When you’re ready to do LOTS of trial sessions, to share the value of coaching with people, you’ll need people! This [exercise] will help you develop your lists of people to approach. And, it will help you decide which approach to use for different groups of people. When calling, it helps to do at least 10 in a row so you generate momentum.

Now, write down anyone you can think of who even comes close to the following criteria.

Write down how you will invite each list of people to do a session. For example, with people you feel very connected to, you might be excited to call them straight away, and chat on the phone or arrange lunch.

List A: Anyone who might really enjoy having a coach for 1-6 months (e.g. they read self-help books, attend courses, or are generally willing to take input).

List B: Anyone who might enjoy a quick one off session to see what coaching is all about.

List C: Anyone who you know has a challenge, and you feel you would like to contribute to.

List D: Anyone you would simply love to work with/coach.

List E: Anyone who might know of someone who might be interested in a coaching session.

OK – I think you get the picture. If everyone you know is not on one of these lists, then go back and put them on one of these lists.

How to Follow Up In Your Sleep!

One of the best features of a website is that you can automate almost everything, freeing up your time so you can do the things you really want to do – instead of being up to your neck in paperwork.

One type of automation is called an autoresponder. Autoresponders send out a series of email messages you’ve created, in a particular order, at set intervals. You can even personalize the emails with each of the recipients’ names.

It takes on average between six and ten contacts (emails, phone calls, visits, etc.) with a prospect before they will feel they know you well enough to buy from you. The higher the price, the more contacts are needed. That is where autoresponders come in.

Say you had to email 100 prospects on your list. And you had to email them each 10 times over the next six months. 1,000 emails is a LOT to do by hand!

However, you can set up an autoresponder with ten emails that will be automatically sent to the 100 prospects at set intervals. Setting it up is not hard, but there are definitely are some do’s and dont’s we recommend to produce maximum sales. Once you discover the power of autoresponders, you’ll see your business explode!
