The greatest challenge you\u2019ll find in the average life coaching business<\/strong><\/a> is the practice of following up. We tend to have a pre-conceived notion about what someone is likely to do. Most coaches randomly decide whether to follow up with a client every day or not at all, and this impacts their life coach salary<\/strong><\/a> in a big way. The problem is that we really have no idea what a person is likely to do. Will they enroll into our life coaching business<\/strong> if we follow up, or is it a waste of time? Just following up with one person is not going to be a time management issue. However, your attitude about following up will dramatically affect your life coach salary<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Your Life Coach Salary Will Correlate with the Amount of Strategy You Employ in Your Life Coaching Business<\/h3>\n

You can\u2019t base your decision (and your life coach salary<\/strong>) on someone\u2019s tone of voice or what they say. You need a hard and fast rule that works for your life coaching business<\/strong> 99% of the time. You\u2019ll need to develop a strategy and then test it out to determine what works for you.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what some people do in their life coaching business<\/span>. When trying to set a free coaching session or following up after free coaching session, they\u2019ll follow up daily. In my business, I\u2019ll call someone about 3 times a week. If after a week or two I\u2019m not getting any sign that they\u2019re going to get back to me, I usually start to decrease the frequency to once or twice a week. After a month, some people say you should follow up once a week. I\u2019m not that great at following up with that intensity, but I\u2019ll still call a couple of times the following month before I give up. I\u2019ll get some results that way, and most people are apologetic for not getting back to me sooner. If you followed a plan like this do you think your life coach salary<\/span> would be different?<\/p>\n

In Life Coaching Business, New Clients Are Your Hottest Commodities<\/h3>\n

The key to earning a decent life coach salary<\/span> is to understand is that your prospect is the hottest when you first get them. The more quickly you set the free session, the higher the probability that they will enroll in your life coaching business<\/span>. Some people will sign up months after you talk to them, but that percentage decreases with time.<\/p>\n

Your Life Coach Salary is Affected by Every Lead You\u2019ve Got<\/h3>\n

If you\u2019re going to have less frequent communication, your closing rate will slow down. As your life coaching business grows and you have more leads coming in, you may not be able to follow up as intently. But when you\u2019re just starting out and every lead affects your life coach salary<\/a>, you need to be on top of your follow ups. You don\u2019t need to be pushy; you\u2019re just looking for an answer. Even a \u2018no\u2019 or \u2018I\u2019m not interested\u2019 is a victory because at least you know.<\/p>\n
