Add You - Sales-Based Marketing in Coaching: A Risky Approach
If you have a company that handles large amounts of inventory you’re going to want to have a system in place that lets you manage your inventory in a way that you always know exactly what you have on hand, what has been sold and spoken for, and what stock you have arriving. Managing the fulfillment of your orders is very important so that you don’t run out of inventory. Running out of inventory can mean losing sales and this is a scenario that you want to avoid. Inventory management can be made easy with
But there are several extremely powerful forces at play against coaches employing a sales-based marketing methodology.

Ah, the land of ROI-ification. A land where e-mails are opened and links are clicked and phones ring by the minute. Is this utopia? Or arms-length reality? Once you apply these proven strategies, you just might find out.But first, a look at the state of your website.What a big website you have, grandmother! Many corporate websites are little more than online brochures featuring product and service descriptions with a few crunchy benefits tossed in for variety. Slick design, not very engaging co
What's the single most important process determining whether or not your coaching business is successful?
The correct answer to this question can completely change your coaching business forever. It can change your perception of your business. It can change your focus in your business. It can change how you go about operating your business. And most importantly, it can determine the success or otherwise of your business.
We asked dozens of coaches this question and got a broad array of responses. But only 4% of them were even close to the mark! Most coaches answered: quality service; number of clients; pricing; branding; advertising copy.
...And whilst all these issues are critical, the single most important process is your marketing methodology. Whilst you must have all the other elements as well, it's your marketing methodology that ultimately determines the success or otherwise of your business.
Let us explain.
Nearly all coaches use a marketing methodology that's a sales-based marketing methodology. This is understandable as most traditional marketing methods teach sales-based marketing methods. We're all impacted by sales-based marketing at every turn - on TV, newspapers, magazines, billboards, radio - everywhere. And when coaches research marketing methods, they are most likely to learn about traditional sales-based marketing methodologies - print ads (in newspapers, yellow pages, journals, magazines etc), direct telephone calls, radio, flyers, direct mail letters, etc.

Over the years, medical device cleanrooms have become more cost effective in both initial cost and operating cost due to advances in technology and methods.My first experience with cleanrooms was in 1967 with the first laminar flow room built for Honeywell’s Solid State Electronics Center in Plymouth, Minnesota. That room has been in constant use for 39 years. There were no filter changes in those 39 years. The system was upgraded with ULPA (ultra low penetration air) filters in 2004 even though the H

It All Began With RadioBroadcasting was originally developed as a means for companies to sell radios. But once commercial entities realized that many households were listening to their radios a significant amount of time every day, they started to explore this medium as a way to get their message across to the masses. If one has to choose a single event that began the era of radio broadcasting, it would probably be the radio program broadcast by station WEAF in New York City on August 28, 1922

But there are several extremely powerful forces at play against coaches employing a sales-based marketing methodology.
- Most coaches invariably feel uncomfortable delivering a 'sales pitch.' Coaches generally have better technical skills than marketing skills. They're therefore uncomfortable talking about themselves and endorsing the quality of their product. This means they don't close, and comes across to prospects as a general lack of confidence in themselves, and their product and service.
- Sales marketing is extremely expensive - narrowing your net margin on your service. The more you spend to get a client the less net profit you'll retain at the end.
- Generally people are very sceptical and defensive against sales approaches. This exponentially increases the barrier of making a sale. When you employ a sales-based marketing method, most prospects have already closed themselves off to learning about your services due to their natural tendency to put up a defence against sales-based marketing.
- There is no trust and rapport built through a sales-based marketing approach. For a prospect to buy from you, there needs to be an element of trust. Your prospect needs to trust that you can deliver on your promises and that they'll gain a positive return on their investment. This level of trust is extremely difficult to build through a sales-based marketing approach.
- You build no reciprocal obligation on the prospect to investigate your offer or purchase from you. It's a natural human tendency to reciprocate in kind what's been given to you. You can not build reciprocal obligation through sales-based marketing.
- You attract price sensitive shoppers and 'tyre kickers' that take up a lot of yo
