77 | Proof over promise: How to build your coaching business by showcasing real results

Women in The Coaching Arena

Insights on the power of social proof versus big promises when it comes to building a successful coaching business. As someone who has been able to sell high-ticket services through a sales page, Jo reflects on how showcasing real client stories and outcomes was a key driver of her success.

She acknowledges the challenge of competing against coaches who make lofty claims about fast results and high incomes, and explains why her approach of prioritising proof over promise has been so effective.

Listeners will learn practical strategies for building a library of social proof, from quick testimonials to in-depth case studies, as well as tips for those just starting out who may not feel they have much proof yet.

The message is clear - in a world where potential clients are growing increasingly skeptical of over-the-top claims, genuine social proof can be the secret weapon that transforms your ability to attract and convert clients.
