Extending your service with coaching gives more options to your current customers and may increase the customers' lifetime value. It's also a great way to attract new customers since you open a new "door" to your business. I agree with you.

Ed - I know you've mentioned that before, it's amazing what doors blogging can open up. Andee - It's great to know how your efforts are paying off or not, just shoot me an email. I will be offering a monthly plan to help people expand their business online or basically anything they need help with. :-) Anna – ditto!

We have been doing this offline for about 6 years and have recently brought it online. Would love the opportunity to talk to you about how you plan to go ahead with it and whether we could assist you with some of the education part. In our process we take a financial snap shot of the business every month and use that as the backbone and context for the online coaching. It gives the client the opporutnity to use their business results as the basis for the coachiung and also a measurement to see if we're adding something to their bottom line. The one thing we have found is that clients need a degree of flexibility to bring up any issues that they have but at the same time they need a sense of structure so that over a twelve month period they don't feel as though they're drifitng and lose faith in the process.

I offer this service myself. I've never called it coaching. I just consider it consulting. Essentially what I've been approached to do is help companies with their positioning strategies and then follow up with what could be considered coaching - to help them implement the strategy defined. In every case, the customer has purchased additional services from me. A group have become regular clients and have referred me to their connections. What is also interesting is that I have acquired each of these clients through my blogging efforts. I really enjoy the feed-back I get and I appreciate the opportunity to work with some really great people. You’re right on the money here, Vera. I offer this service myself.
