What People are Saying About ‘First Fifty Clients’?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Simply Brilliant!!!!!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I listened to the disc for the first time on Monday and have already booked 45 people for exploratory sessions. I may have to extend my goal to 100 people in 100 days. I never knew I could inspire people to take advantage of a free session. You have motivated me into action and I wish to thank you for this. ” – Loretta Digger, UK<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/span>2. FEATURE: How To Get Fantastic Testimonials<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Testimonials can be extremely valuable to a coaching business. Not only do they show prospective clients that you have successfully worked with others, they show YOU that you have made a difference in your client’s life or company. Yet many people are afraid to ask for them.<\/p>\n

Getting testimonials is easy and in my CoachStart\u2122 Manual I give you all the steps you need.<\/p>\n

Let’s summarize a few here…<\/strong><\/p>\n

It’s important to get at least three good testimonials. They can be short, but should promote your credibility, confidence, and services.<\/p>\n

You must also get their permission to use the testimonials publicly, in your brochures, website, portfolio, etc.<\/p>\n

The more information you can include, such as full name, title, company name, email address, etc. the more credible the testimonial. If you can get a picture, even better!<\/p>\n

Through Instant Audio<\/a> you can even have them call a phone number and record their testimonial – then add a link to the testimonial on your web site.<\/p>\n
