If you’re in the coaching market, chances are you’re not afraid of having direct sales conversations with business owners and entrepreneurs.

But closing a deal with corporate coaching clients can be a little confusing, if not a tad daunting, for the first time.

After all, coaching a group of enthusiastic entrepreneurs is strikingly different from coaching a group of corporate employees taking mandatory training.

And, in an organization made up of several departments, who do you even talk to in an effort to make a sale?

In this episode, I share the framework and strategies I use to successfully close coaching deals with corporate clients.

I illustrate the challenges a coach can face when trying to get clients in a large organization and reveal one of the biggest mistakes they can make when getting corporate clients.

I also describe how you can build relationships with your potential clients, get them excited, and entice them by offering free strategy sessions.

“In the corporate world, there’s this idea that training is a chore. Give them an experience that lights them up and gets them talking about you around the water cooler.”
