Helping Hands For Coaches

From what I gather, all coaches go through this “What is my niche?” phase – and sometimes don’t come out! Wendi Liechty, our speaker on today’s class, helped our coaches come out of the niche fog and get clear on their target market!

“WOW Rachel! I don’t know how you ended up knowing Wendi, but you fell into a gem there!!!! Thank you for scheduling her today. She is awesome, knows her stuff, relaxed and we all liked her.” Deborah White, The Step Mom Coach

If you’re ready to take action and get clear on your niche, then listen to this interactive podcast on how life, business and executive coaches can define their niche!

We broke-up the eNewsletter into 3 simple sections – so that it’s not overwhelming to the reader. The first section is a personal note from Chrissy, the second portion is an article on planning your vacation – in other words the article that is interesting and informative – and the third section is her call to action in which she asks her readers to use her website to book their next travel. She had over 20% click the link – all because the entire eNewsletter was focused and not overwhelming and ended with a call to action. http://blazeinteractive.com/clients/chrissy/newsletter/jun08_02.html

We are, of course, talking about Credit Card payments – and in the below audio I show you how easy it is to use PayPal to create “Buy Now” buttons, receive recurring and subscription payments, create paypal invoices – as well as how to credit accounts when you accidentally charge someone.
