Who do you serve and who are your clients?
I serve established coaches and consultants. They have a list and an offer, but they are looking for a better way to bring clients on board. The people I work with are collaborative rather than competitive. They are not predatorial types of people; they’re people who like working with others. Naturally, they prefer a more inclusive partnership with other businesses. They have a preference for this rather than having to really go out and pitch and hustle. They like having a situation where they are working with like-minded businesses who refer clients to them or promote them, which means they have people coming into their orbit who are warm and pre-sold.
