Winning clients is sometimes hard, for many reasons. Maybe you are not a natural salesperson. Maybe clients do not see the value of coaching, personal wellbeing and happiness, because they often expect ready-made advice built on the myths about happiness<\/a>. Maybe it is simply hard to find potential clients.<\/p>\n

That is why it helps to lean on tools and practices that give you the first push. The problem is simple: have you seen how expensive a 360-degree feedback or other tool certifications can be? Paying a small monthly fee would not be a problem, though, especially if it costs less than a coaching book (check the website for current prices). The answer we built over years, with personal growth specialists and developers, is Happiness Play Pro<\/a>. Here is a simple step-by-step example of how coaches use it.<\/p>\n

The process in eight steps<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Sign up.<\/strong> It is quick, secure and reliable, with no extra charges, and you can cancel at any time. We suggest starting with 30 Premium users so you can customise the whole tool and begin looking for clients. An annual plan brings a bigger discount.<\/li>\n
  2. Configure the system in a few minutes.<\/strong> Add your logo, your cover page and testimonials, and your frequently asked questions (Premium services), so your working philosophy and contact details are clear. Include the professional wheel of life<\/a> if you work with careers.<\/li>\n
  3. Select who to invite.<\/strong> Choose people who were interested and who could be good candidates for a happiness or coaching process. If nobody comes to mind, ask relatives, friends and colleagues, and often offer the first sessions free until people talk about you. You only need their emails, and you invite them from the internal portal<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
  4. Clients get their welcome email<\/strong> (with your logo in every message) and start their private self-discovery with the autocoaching methodology<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  5. They take a snapshot<\/strong> with the wheel of life, select what they really want from a huge catalogue (see the Coaching of Variety<\/a>), set changes with commitment dates and describe how they see themselves in the future. They are now responsible for the first steps, and can generate a report at the end.<\/li>\n
  6. Follow up.<\/strong> Make a call or send an email to say you have sent a tool that will help with their first steps. An example is below.<\/li>\n
  7. Check usage and repeat.<\/strong> After some days, go back to the portal and check the user list to see who has used the web. Call the ones who started shyly, and send a reminder to the rest. Repeat the process, removing (with notice) users who have not used the tool to make room for others. A batch of 30 users is a good size for getting four or five active clients quickly.<\/li>\n
  8. Keep the flow going.<\/strong> Clients stay in coaching only until they solve the problem they came with, so the tool is powerful for generating clients gradually and continuously.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Two emails you can adapt<\/h2>\n

    The invitation:<\/p>\n

    Dear XXXX,
    As I mentioned, I offer a wonderful coaching practice that helps my clients reach what they set out to do in life. The results are amazing, and you need to see them to believe them. I have also sent you an invitation to a new tool I offer, Happiness Play, which will help you assess where you are, know yourself better and set the first changes you always want to make but often find hard to dare. I know you are busy, but if you give it a little time you will discover many things that can improve your mood and how you face day-to-day problems. If you then want a coaching or mentoring session, count on me and I will help you discover your full potential. (The first session is free, if that is the case<\/em>.)
    Warm regards,
    XXX<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    The reminder, after a few days:<\/p>\n

    Dear XXX,
    A few days ago I sent you an invitation to a tool for taking your first steps in personal and professional discovery. How has it gone? Haven’t you had time? If you need any help, I am here.
    Warm regards,
    XXX<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    A word on patience<\/h2>\n

    Now the step is up to your future client, and it can take three, seven or fifteen days or more. Be patient. In the user list you will see who has used the tool and who has not. If someone has barely started, a friendly call is a good moment to ask how the discovery is going and whether they need more support or just more time.<\/p>\n
