Get Coaching Clients by Getting Over Your Fear of Marketing
Copyright (c) 2010 Suzan Schmitt
I am sorry I just don't know how to say it any other way. People in service businesses tend to think that marketing is a bad, pushy, or negative thing and it is not. Marketing is making an offer of a solution to a person who has a problem that they have been unable to solve.
Think of it this way, if you are a coach that has some solutions for people who are facing challenges, need to improve their skills, have goals, or need support and accountability and you are not letting them know you have a solution then you are being selfish by not offering to help! It is an offer and an offer can and will be refused for a variety of reasons like the person is not in enough pain yet to seek your solution. They will eventually be in enough pain and they will know where to go if you market to them.
Marketing is good and can be very helpful to many people if you do it the right way. You will need to market in a way that allows you to serve others. Your helpful marketing messages will reach many people that you would never have reached otherwise.
These same coaches complian that they don't have enought clients. They tell me what a great coach they are and how they just don't understand why the few clients they have are not referring other clients to them. Well, maybe it is because it is not you clients job to get you clients! Yes, you should ask for referrals and often clients will realize they do know someone who needs your help but it is not their main focus. Your client's main focus is them as it should be.
If you want your coaching business to grow you are going to have to market it. People cannot take you up on an offer to coach them if you don't make the offer. Many people still don't even know what coaching is until you tell them.
Nothing happens until you take action. Yes, you may take the wrong action, you may not do it perfect, or you could even fail but you will learn if you take action. If it does not turn out the way you want it to then evaluate the action you took, make corrections, and take more action.
I have had many failures, mistakes, and challenges but I have learned from all of them and I have kept going. Now I am achieving some level of success and my income in increasing. The same will be true for you if you take action. If you do nothing that is exactly the return you will get. So get busy and take the actions that are right for you and your business.

Is it conflict of interest to apply for a job at a corporate client of your current job?
I work as a legal secretary at a law office and I am seeking a new job because my work is becoming monotonous and there is no room for movement. However, most of the companies that are hiring or have good paying positions are our clients. Should I apply?
If the company you want to apply to just happens to be a client, there shouldn't be any ethical issues. If the company met you because they were visiting your law offices and they tried to hire you, that would be an issue but it would be between them and your company.
The only thing you may want to consider is that they may for some reason tell you company that they interviewed you (although I doubt that may happen).

How To Choose The Best Roofer For The Job
If you've made the decision to hire a good reputable roofing company for your home, when you choose roofers Croydon you will have made the right choice. The roof is one of the most important structures on a home, or on a business. This is not an area of repair that can be messed around with. It should only be performed by those who are experts in this type of work, and have excellent safety standards. So, how do you know when you have found the right roofer for your house, or for your business needs?
One of the best resources for you to find a reputable roof repairs Croydon company, is to contact trade organizations. Trade and business organizations will only affiliate themselves with contracting companies that have a set record of standards. This means that they have primarily great reviews from their clients. If there were any problems with their client jobs, then these concerns were dealt within a reasonable or expedient manner.
These roofers Croydon companies have been a part of their communities for many years, and they have a place of business that people can walk in to. It's very important to not hire a business that simply operates off of a phone number or website. Anyone can advertise a voicemail number, or a website. But how does a homeowner or business owner know that this outfit is reputable? Therefore, they should look for roofers Croydon companies that have professional affiliations with organizations in the community. This can be a very good sign that this is a reputable roof repairs Croydon company to associate with.
One should think twice before trusting a roofing company that has no website to their credit, one can certainly look on the Internet for client reviews to back up any decision you are thinking of making. All you have to do is type in a roofers company name into the search engines, and a listing of reviews will come out from previous clients in the community, or in the area. Client reviews are some of the best sources of information about what a potential client can expect. This is because these are going to be honest reviews. Previous clients have no reason to lie, and they'll be more than happy to report it if they had a bad experience. A potential client should read carefully about what people are saying about a particular roofing company. If they see a pattern, particularly if the pattern is negative, then they know that this is a company that they should stay away from.
Alas, good roofers should do a complete diagnoses on the roofing situation. A homeowner or business owner should stay far away from a roofing contractor, or any contractor for that matter, that only quotes over the phone. There is no reasonable way for contractors to be able to assess a situation, without giving the roof a complete examination to assess the damage.
They also need to assess what the roofing material is made out of. They need to look at the under boards as well. There are so many variables that need to be looked at in determining an honest quote, that it simply can't be done over the phone. If a roofing contracting company is offering quotes over the phone, then they are being lazy, or simply out to get money. Stay away from this outfit.
