The average life coach graduates from life coaching school<\/strong><\/a> and waits for clients.\u00a0 Unfortunately, what most coaches miss in life coaching school<\/strong> is exactly the coach training<\/strong><\/a> you need to be a success.\u00a0 Most people go into coaching because they love the job of helping people and get a lot of connection from doing it.\u00a0 But when the time comes to enroll potential clients into your programs, you\u2019re no longer in the giving process.\u00a0 In fact, a lot of people look at the whole sales process as if it were a take.\u00a0 When you imagine that, a lot of fears about not being good enough come to the surface.\u00a0 Here is some practical coach training<\/strong> to help you enroll more clients, and retain that feeling of connecting and contributing during the process.<\/p>\n

Coach Training That Goes Beyond Life Coaching School and Helps You Relate<\/h3>\n

In essence, there are 3 ways to think about how you relate to your prospects:<\/p>\n

Coach Training Tip #1:\u00a0 Individual Think vs. Group Think<\/strong><\/span>
\nYou want to make sure you relate to each person as their own special individual.\u00a0 Avoid telling people what they should do.\u00a0 While sometimes telling a story about another client can be very effective, you want to make sure that you don\u2019t make generalizations about people.\u00a0 You need to get inside their personal world.\u00a0 Make sure you make it relevant to your prospect right up front or you\u2019ll miss the boat.\u00a0 If you don\u2019t, even if they do buy they won\u2019t feel taken care of.\u00a0 Or they might get upset and disconnect.\u00a0 Then you\u2019ll never be able to make a difference for them with all the skills you\u2019ve learned in life coaching school<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Coach Training Tip #2:\u00a0 Co-worker vs. Family\/Friend<\/strong><\/span>
\nThink of your prospects as family or a close friend.\u00a0 Your goal is to establish a one-on-one relationship.\u00a0 You don\u2019t want to maintain a professional superior attitude and tell them all your credentials and life coaching school<\/span> certifications.\u00a0 If you\u2019re in rapport, as you loosen up and start treating them as a trusted friend they will treat you as a trusted advisor.\u00a0 They will feel special.\u00a0 Give them a pleasant experience.\u00a0 Most prospects won\u2019t meet with you in the first place if they don\u2019t think you\u2019re superior in some way.<\/p>\n

Coach Training Tip #3:\u00a0 Inferior vs Equal vs Superior Posture<\/strong><\/span>
\nThere are different parts of your brain.\u00a0 We have a tremendous ability to think reflectively, using the emotional part of our brain.\u00a0 Our basic instincts are about fear and posture. If we talk with someone who is very significant, and they say something like, \u201cI don\u2019t want to waste my time. Let\u2019s get to it,\u201d we immediately ask ourselves questions such as, \u201cIs this person going to hurt me?\u201d or \u201cWill this person help me?\u201d With time you\u2019ll eventually start to think as a superior when you give information, but you\u2019ll need to be flexible in your ability to relate to different people and their postures.\u00a0 The target is to relate as equals, with just a slight edge of superiority.\u00a0 If you\u2019re superior you won\u2019t listen to them, and it will be a monologue.\u00a0 And if you don\u2019t have a superior edge they won\u2019t buy what you\u2019ve worked so hard to master in life coaching school<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Make Your Own Life Coaching School and Add Rapport to Your Coach Training<\/h3>\n

Now you have the coach training you need to set appointments and enroll just about anyone.\u00a0 Unfortunately there a lot of good life coaches out there who never enroll their fair share of clients, just because most life coaching school programs aren\u2019t able to give people the experience of mastering these skills.\u00a0 But with some practice, you\u2019ll find your ability to establish rapport is stronger than ever with your prospects.<\/p>\n
