Coaching Business Builder - What's Your Service and Product Offering Mix?



Recent research from the ICF has discovered that 94% of coaches offer more than just coaching
(Coaching World, May 2013). What is your mix of product and service offerings?

Whether we are new or experienced coaches and/or business owners it can be very useful to  consider what we are offering through our business. It’s very useful to consider what you are using at different price points, for different types of clients across the spectrum of the people you serve.

For coaches, it is possible that some of your service offerings may include:

  • Coaching Services. Do you offer individual, team, group ccoaching? Partnership coaching (for business or relationships)
  • Speaking Services
  • Workshop or teleclass services
  • Retreats
  • Service areas in other areas of your expertise - list these:

Questions to Consider
What service offerings do you currently have? What additional services would your clients like you to offer? What would it take to create these?

Product offerings may include:

  • White papers
  • E-books
  • Manuals
  • Journals

The CoachingToys.com site showcases the creative spectrum of what is available to coaches as products. 

Questions to consider:
What products do you want to develop in your business? What are your clients looking for right now?
What is currently available in the marketplace or for your clients? What is not?
What would it take for you to develop new products?

Consider what products you may offer at no cost, low cost and higher price points.

What products and services do you have to offer at each price point?

  
I touch on the idea of considering your overall product and services offerings and funnel as in the digital marketing chapter of my new book, From One to Many: Best Practices for Team andGroup Coaching. We also explore it in one of our group calls during the 90 DayBizSuccess for Coaches program, starting again this September.

In closing, what are the core mainstays of your business right now? What do your clients really, really want? What changes may you make in the upcoming months? What do you want to be doing more of?

Have a great weekend!
