With so many small businesses failing to survive the first year why should a coaching practice or consultancy be any different? Few businesses survive the first year and coaching practices are no different, with hundreds if not thousands of coaches qualifying each month is there really a demand for their services?
Where many coaches fail is through a lack of understanding on how to effectively market their practice. Too many new coaches spend vast amounts of time getting their business branding just right, creating a polished website, ordering smart business cards they dont want to part with. But is that what your clients care about? I would say not, you clients want to know if you deliver results and if you are worth what they will be paying.
Let prospects know what services you offer, how you will work with them and what results they can expect. Oh, and if you dont have a business coach, get one. Your coaching clients will expect you to walk your talk!!!

I totally agree… in any business be it coaching or traditional or network marketing, you should always keep a balance. Focusing too much on the packaging is not an assurance to success. Instead build relationships that will get you more referrals. And of course it is important to walk your talk
I think it will help if one includes some testimonies of their existing clients on their website. It gives new prospect clients a feeling that if someone else trusts you then maybe they can too.
