Never Offer Another Free Coaching Call Until You Watch This
Offering a free coaching call can be a great way to grow your nutrition coaching business, but they can also keep you in the “pick-your-brain Friend Zone”.
Over the next few minutes I am going to explain when to offer free nutrition coaching calls, and exactly how to convert those calls into paying clients.
And if you’d like the exact process to use free coaching calls to grow your nutrition coaching business, type “CLC” below.
For those of you who don’t know me… My name is Kate Jaramillo, I’m the co-owner of Beyond Macros where we teach nutrition coaches like you how to build a nutrition coaching business that they LOVE that’s both impactful and profitable through our VIP Coach mentorship Programs.
Now listen up, because in the next few minutes I am going to teach you how to stay out of the friend zone and actually convert clients from free coaching calls so you can step into the role of Nutrition Business BOSS.
Purpose of free coaching calls
- Gain experience coaching (build confidence!)
- Practice restraint vs. firehousing with info
- Create social proof + testimonials
- Mini market research
- Build trust and belief (in self, in Coach, in process)
- Free CALL - not offering “free coaching packages” to test out for feedback and testimonials
- Not a “pick your brain” session
- Not a sales call
Who/When to offer free coaching calls:
- Newly certified coaches
- Coaches who have not had their first clients
- Coaches who took a break from coaching and are now getting back into it
- Changing/updating niche
- Changing/updating offer
How to convert to paying clients
- Take leadership of the call by explaining the purpose of the call and what to expect
- Listen more than you talk; reflect back what you hear in the exact words
- Offer ONE great solution/next step that will get the person 1 step closer to their goal (make it easy and enjoyable)
- Celebrate the A-ha- congratulate the person on committing to this next step (you can get the testimonial right then, too)
- Be direct in asking if they want more help, and then schedule the sales call right away (strike while the iron is hot - they are happy, curious, and building belief)
That last part - being direct - is the difference between staying in the free-coach friend-zone, and becoming a nutrition business boss.
The worst they can say is no, and if they say no then it’s FINE! Nothing changes - you still have everything you need right here in this moment.
But if you don’t ask, then the answer will always be “no”, and what will happen is the person will likely end up investing in someone else that wasn’t scared to hear the word “no”.
We are here and all in to help you master the art of free coaching calls and converting them to clients, so if you’d like the exact process that our own clients use to move from “free coach friend zone” to “nutrition business boss”, type “CLC” below and we’ll give you access to the amazing training - for free!

The Burden
The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
