How have you transformed your life or someone else? And you start building your approach. 42 00:03:43,139.07692308 --> 00:03:45,959.07692308 Around that unique value proposition. 43 00:03:46,199.07692308 --> 00:04:03,439.07692308 And I guarantee you're going to start to attract the people that resonate with your offer, but you have to be clear on the transformation that you know, you can provide when it comes to articulating your transformation and the results that your clients can expect from your offer. 44 00:04:03,569.07692308 --> 00:04:06,539.07692308 make sure that you can put some type of number behind it. 45 00:04:06,549.07692308 --> 00:04:13,449.07692308 How long will it take them to achieve this transformation is at 90 days, 120 days. 46 00:04:13,719.07692308 --> 00:04:18,249.07692308 It's so important that you clearly articulate your transformation. 47 00:04:18,549.07692308 --> 00:04:26,169.07692308 A lot of times when people have questions, coaches shrink back and think, oh my gosh, does this person really believe in what I do? No. 48 00:04:26,169.07692308 --> 00:04:28,149.07692308 They just simply have questions. 49 00:04:28,359.07692308 --> 00:04:33,949.07692308 So when we talk about objections, you need to be able to help your prospects. 50 00:04:33,949.07692308 --> 00:04:37,759.07692308 Specs or your leads, understand those objections. 51 00:04:37,969.07692308 --> 00:04:42,239.07692308 When it comes to your coaching program, take time to identify objections. 52 00:04:42,239.07692308 --> 00:04:44,519.07692308 That probably come out a lot. 53 00:04:44,549.07692308 --> 00:04:56,939.07692308 When you're talking to someone on the consultation, this is why in the beginning, I really do believe that coaches should start off once a one and also take consultations consultations with. 54 00:04:56,939.07692308 --> 00:05:01,379.07692308 We'll help you really master your messaging when it comes to your marketing. 55 00:05:01,559.07692308 --> 00:05:20,739.07692308 Because if you ask people what resonate with them, when they heard you speak about your offer or seeing your content online? Those are the type of words that you need to be using over and over in your marketing effort, because that's letting you know that, Hey, I'm speaking directly to the type of person that I want to work with in the future. 56 00:05:20,949.07692308 --> 00:05:28,689.07692308 So understanding your offer would help you align your marketing messaging when it comes to articulating your value. 57 00:05:29,79.07692308 --> 00:05:38,739.07692308 And then you can take that and start sprinkling it throughout your website, your social media content, your email campaign, every piece. 58 00:05:38,949.07692308 --> 00:05:48,219.07692308 Content should reinforce The value of your offer and that's gonna lead into the next one create in that demand, that urgency, right. 59 00:05:48,739.07692308 --> 00:05:51,409.07692308 is so important for you. 60 00:05:51,799.07692308 --> 00:05:59,629.07692308 As a coat to understand how to affectively utilize urgency inside of your business. 61 00:06:00,19.07692308 --> 00:06:04,879.07692308 And when you think about that urgency, that's opening and closing your car. 62 00:06:04,909.07692308 --> 00:06:07,69.07692308 That's a one-time limited offer. 63 00:06:07,99.07692308 --> 00:06:10,189.07692308 A Skloot bonus early bird discount. 64 00:06:10,669.07692308 --> 00:06:15,919.07692308 you want to encourage your potential clients to take action quickly. 65 00:06:16,9.07692308 --> 00:06:20,749.07692308 Right?
