Hello, you've got Dana Hagstrom coming to you on this video to share some advice you
might not even know you need.
I'm with my husband, David, and together we bring you DavidnDana.com.
Today I'll be asking him some questions about why people want to get a coach.
Because, we should NOT be saying "Coaches are for other people."
We'll also take a look at the top qualities a good online marketing coach should have.
Also, be sure to subscribe to our channel and ring the bell, i.e. click the bell icon.
And we'll be back right after this.
Alright. So, tell me David what is a reason our viewers might be wanting a coach?
Okay.
Well, maybe they have been marketing online for some time and they just haven't seen the
degree of results that they expect.
And they want to know what they need to change to make that difference.
What if they are working a full-time job and they just want to stop that madness?
Well, those folks will be stuck in that job, so long as they don't put into place a plan to make a change.
Realistically, if nothing changes, nothing changes.
A coach can help set goals and realistic expectations, and plans to get from here to there.
What about folks who have been in network marketing for a while, what struggles might
they face that a coach could solve?
A coach can help provide direction, support, encouragement, and accountability.
Many times, we have sponsors that seem to go into witness protection and disappear,
and never check in on us again.
Other folks will get discouraged when they see their friends doing so well and wondering what their secret is.
We've been promised a lifestyle of freedom, and when we don't get it as fast as we like,
we need someone to ground us and maybe help us find some tools to make it happen.
Thank you for this, David.
I think it was YOU that knew we needed a coach.
We've been so blessed to have great coaches who have been cheering
us on and giving us their attention.
From our experience, we have come up with a list of 9 characteristics you should look
for in a coach.
We aspire to these in our own coaching.
Remember, most of the successful online marketers have one thing in common -- they have a coach.
They invested in themselves and their future because they knew they could use some help.
We all need help.
Don't be afraid to ask for it!
You deserve this!
1. A good internet marketing coach is self-aware.
A good coach only offers advice in areas where they have expertise or knowledge.
For us, we will never try to teach something we have not already learned or experienced.
If we don't know, we would rather point to other resources or to persons with more expertise
in that area.
It's easy to see through online marketing coaches when they are trying to fake it.
It's always so refreshing when you find a coach full of integrity.
We aspire to that standard when working with you.
2. A good internet marketing coach prepares for every session with questions, information,
ideas, and suggestions.
You want your coach to be prepared for each online marketing consulting session with things
that will benefit your needs.
We'll have an agenda established, so we avoid wasting time on meaningless conversation
or examples that don't fit for your situation.
There is nothing more frustrating than spending your precious time and money listening to
someone ramble on without direction or real substance.
We will make sure these expectations are set forth at the beginning of each session so
that we can change direction if we need to according to your feedback.
3. A good internet marketing coach will hold you accountable.
It is so important to set expectations and provide accountability.
So, expect your coach to hold you accountable.
It doesn't serve them, or YOU, if you don't follow through.
4. A good internet marketing coach treats clients with respect, trusting them to follow through
with all assignments.
While a successful internet marketing coaching program may require some "tough love," a good
coach should never leave you feeling belittled or resentful.
A lack of respect immediately breaks rapport and impairs the coaching relationship.
5. A good internet marketing coach becomes acutely aware of your strengths and weaknesses.
It serves you best when your internet marketing coaching program really fits for you and your strengths.
For example, if you're not a techie, but have strong relational skills, we would probably
not focus on teaching you search engine optimization.
Maybe some basics, but to really focus on S.E.O. would not be playing to your strengths.
6. A good internet marketing coach listens and allows time for discussion.
Listening is nearly a lost art.
And we'll allow plenty of time for questions or discussion of things that have been on
your mind or any assignments we may have made.
Listening to really understand your needs will help avoid misunderstandings and better
serve your needs.
When an online coach truly listens, the client feels heard and affirmed.
It's refreshing when the coach's voice is not the primary one heard during a session.
7. A good internet marketing coach encourages and is an optimistic person.
There will be times when a client is struggling or not understanding the intention of an assignment.
It's possible to have the proverbial "elephant in the room" present,
because of some issue that is causing problems.
A good online marketing coach seeks to think strategically and find a constructive suggestion
or solution, all the while being encouraging to that client.
8. A good internet marketing coach provides resources, authority, training, and support necessary
for the given assignment or expectation.
We have a wealth of information we have gained from trainings, reading books,
and other resources to share.
If a particular client is in need of something we don't have, we will do everything we can
to find and provide the resource that will benefit that client.
Personal development is such a key component of this industry, it will be our intention
to keep apprised of good resources available.
9. A good internet marketing coach has a strong follow up system in place.
Whether it's simply a to-do list, a Trello board, or a coaching portal you both can access,
there should be some mechanism to encourage follow up and accountability.
Always have the next session scheduled before ending a session.
If at any time, you feel like you have come to the end of what you can offer a client,
be prepared for next steps.
We aspire to be the best online marketing coaches we can be for our clients.
We've been blessed to learn from exceptional mentors and coaches including Todd & Leah
Getts, Brian Fanale, and Norbert Orlewicz, among others.
We have been blessed!
In a sense, we have been "coaches in training" since we began this online marketing journey."
We learned first to point people to the resources that we'd found most helpful in our own journey.
Then, in preparation to launch our own Internet Marketing Coaching Program, we've been paying
attention to what makes a good online marketing coach.
We look to our own experience here.
We've spent thousands and worked with inspiring coaches and not so helpful coaches.
Obviously, we aspire to be the former.
We want to make a profound impact on all members of our team as we provide online marketing
consulting services.
As you may know, we have a bit of a head start in the coaching department.
While a pastor, David worked closely with coaches for his own growth and self-development.
He then trained to be a coach himself.
From those experiences, David brings a wealth of wisdom and knowledge which easily transfers
to our Internet Marketing Coaching Program.
We will help our coaching clients to set goals they can measure and direct them in a way
that fits for their learning skills and interests.
So, what are you needing help with in your own business?
Be honest here.
Do you need more leads, sales, and signups?
New skills, like learning how to optimize a blog post?
To learn how start a blog?
Do you need motivation and accountability?
Do you need fresh eyes to help turn your hard work into profits?
In our article, we include a menu of different business areas that we train on.
We currently have openings for 2-4 new coaching clients.
If that sounds interesting to you, the next steps are to fill out a brief survey and schedule
a free 15-minute Discovery Call.
To begin the process, just go to our "Work with Us Page" or click the link below.
We are excited to roll out this new aspect of our business and are offering significant
discounts to those who join us in this early stage.
We are on the fast track and want to help you be there with us!
Are you ready to rewrite your future and invest in yourself?
Be sure to share this with people you know who could benefit from a little direction.
And until next time!
Be well!
