The Coaching School Commencement Address

Marketing for Coaches

If you’re going to be a coaching student, you need to know the difference between being a practical working business coach and somebody who simply studies coaching. What does it take to be the former?

Today, I address this question by sharing the recording of my commencement address to the first cohort of graduates of the Book Yourself Solid® Associate Training Program. I talk about the pros and cons of being self-employed, and I talk about how personal problems can sneak into your business. I talk about how you can get around this problem to everyone’s advantage, and I note that you are not your business. I discuss the importance of taking responsibility for your actions--whether successes or failures-- and I note the importance of (and the relationship between) sales and marketing. I share the analogy of the marketing tree, and I note that Book Yourself Solid® isn’t just a program; it’s a way of life.

“The good news is, when you’re self-employed, the buck stops with you. Of course, the bad news is, when you’re a self-employed coach, the buck stops with you.”

- Matthew Kimberley
