The Proven System To Become A Respected Profit Coach

Secured my first client since joining BCA a week ago. A veterinarian signed up for my 3-month consulting programme at $6,800.

She was worried about the time commitment, so we agreed to spread it out over an extra month, which made her feel valued and she signed immediately.

I haven't even reached the COACH method curriculum yet, but I used what I've learned so far.

Active listening and focusing on the transformation made all the difference. Feeling motivated and thankful for Zander, Pam, and this group.

Landed my first tech client last week. They asked me to invoice them straight away for the first three months.

The COACH work, Mark's training, and practising with the VR scenarios on The Academy have been invaluable. I also managed to pass my accreditation.

Now I have to deliver.

From April, I was not sure this would work.

Fast forward a few months and my second client has asked me to step in as MD and acquire the business through an earn-out scheme, alongside my coaching work.

My first client increased revenue by 80% and cut raw material costs in just 8 weeks.

They were close to bankruptcy, but now they are back in the black and could land a new £500k contract.

I have a third client lined up and a discovery call with a potential fourth. All being well, I should invoice £12,400 for July and have £9.

5k/month confirmed until March 2026. Special thanks to @Anne Melling for her support and the timely marketing email from Pam.

I finally got my first client signed, sealed and paid up at £2,000 per month. First session is booked for tomorrow, face to face.

My coaching journey has taken a lot of twists and turns, but I am buzzing with excitement to get started.

Just signed my first full price, twice-a-month client. Thanks to Pam Featherstone for your awesome support and Zander Woodford-Smith.

I have 5 more closing calls next week, so this could be a great work month.

As Zander says, "I let it rain"! Both clients were from the automated marketing campaign, which I started at the beginning of March.

I completed a discovery call where I took copious amounts of notes, and then aligned the value session to their challenges.

I spent a lot of time preparing, and even had the opportunity to adapt my approach after the 1st value session this morning (my price pitch felt a little clunky 1st time round), so I perfected it for the 2nd value session.

The 1st client is not an Ideal Client for me. He is a one man band but desperately needed help with his value proposition and marketing.

The 2nd client is an Ideal Client and is at an exciting growth stage in their business but is still pulled in to firefighting.

He may want some consultancy support as well as business coaching, but it was the BOSS dashboard that sealed it for him. It's such a fantastic resource.

They both responded really well to the fact that I wasn't signing them in to a contract, and that I was confident about the value I could bring that they would want to continue our partnership.

I'm not the most patient of people, but I followed the guidance from BCA and it worked!

Now I move in to value delivery with these clients which is what I have been most excited about.

Thank you to the whole BCA team, but particularly @Pamela Woodford @Zander Woodford-Smith and @Mark James

My first 2 clients have confirmed and paid for 12 months of support. Both came through my existing network, just 3 weeks into LinkedIn marketing.

First session is booked for next week, then bi-weekly after that. Looking forward to helping them grow, both personally and in business.

Signed up another client on a no win-no fee basis, with the win being them raising £700k or more.

The key has been getting back to interested people straightaway through LinkedIn on my mobile. Since I only get a handful of leads a week, speed is critical.

Thanks once again to the team. My mojo is back and purpose restored.

6 Clients, £12,500/Mo, Half The Hours I secured 2 new clients this week, bringing me to 6 in total.

In June, I'll invoice £12,500, just £2,500 short of my £15,000/ month target.

In my previous corporate role, I worked 50-60 hour weeks and was away 3 nights a week.

Now I work around 30 hours per week, earn similar money, and I'm home every night.

A lead from Malaysia reached out after reading my LinkedIn posts. He wanted 1 hour of coaching for one of his top Heads of Department.

I upsold to a 6-month programme for all 6 HoDs at £1,000 per month. With the conversion rate, it is £5,000 pcm for him.

The goal is to build their commercial acumen so he can hand over the business and retire. Planning a business trip to Malaysia in the next 6 months.

I got my first one-call sale yesterday for $12k, or $1k per month for 12 months.

My ideal client is on Facebook more than LinkedIn, so I've been posting in the right groups.

Someone saw my comment, reached out, and by the end of the call said, 'I've been wanting to do this for 10 years so let's go.'

I used so much from the training modules to make this happen. Thank you. I'm feeling some momentum.

Secured a new multi-site Roofing Merchant client from my January newsletter. Booked 2 x 2-day training days for £6,600.

Used the COACH method to understand their needs, and the MD agreed to the investment on the spot and discussed adding more.

Now at 4 clients and invoicing £8,100 in March. The £12k/month target is getting closer.

My second client has asked me to step in as MD and acquire the business through an earn-out scheme, while I continue my coaching work.

My first client increased revenue by 80 percent in just 8 weeks and cut raw material costs.

They were close to bankruptcy, but now they are back in the black and could land a new £500k contract.

I have a third client lined up and a discovery call with a potential fourth.

Special thanks to @Anne Melling for her support and the timely marketing email from Pam.

My client said this...

"You're like the magic wand that comes into business and sprinkles fairy dust. You have a good framework, a good programme to follow, and you know how to adapt it to where that individual is at."

"Between two businesses, I found £600,000 worth of cost savings."

When I met Kim, her business was about to go under. Within a month, we found £600,000 in savings.

It's not fairy dust. It's the PROFIT programme.

I cannot tell you how good this programme is and the difference it's making in people's lives.

I am up to 76 bookings for my webinar next week. Today I signed a £7m turnover business for a second strategy session and discussed ongoing coaching.

I also upgraded another client from £995 to £1995 for 3 coaching clients across his business. I am now working on pricing for bigger clients too.

I’m consulting for a company in the medical device area, which fits my background. It’s just one day per week for £9,000 per month.

I’m having lots of fun and it fits perfectly with being retired while staying mentally active.

After a whirlwind week, I signed up clients 2 and 3, plus another on a no win-no fee (if they raise £700k+).

The key has been getting back to interested people straightaway through LinkedIn on my mobile. Since I only get a handful of leads a week, speed is critical.

Thanks to the team, my mojo is back and purpose restored.

Signed a client today using the new sales process. It was really easy to follow and made the conversation simple.

The lead came from our Top 100 Strategy. We connected in August 2023, exchanged a few LinkedIn messages, and I reached out last month after she liked my post.

She replied, 'Be good to chat soon as we need some guidance on how to think about bringing better value internally?' (meaning team generating more profit).

She understood the process straight away and said it was exactly what they needed.

The question sections helped bring her into the conversation, and she was surprised by how much value I shared in just the first call.

I didn't follow the script exactly, but knowing the system made it work. Thanks to Pam, Zander and Jack for building the process and PowerPoint.

Started a client on alignment only and just rolled them into a coaching programme at £1,295 per month.

Also added a monthly tiddler at £250 for an hour a month, with an upgrade proposal in for an extra £500 per month and a subscription for my recruitment software and management system.

Best week for a while.

Today my first client paid for 6 months upfront and we had our first coaching session.

We started with the Business Growth Matrix, but spent half the call on immediate business issues. It feels great to finally get some runs on the board.

The first one's always the hardest, so the second should be easier. Big thanks to Sue for all the support.

Landed my first gig today. A 6 month programme at £800 monthly, providing leadership coaching for a rising member of a toy company.

This came from a VIP nurture campaign. Trade fair, then a Guinness, then a coffee meeting, then Zoom.

Hopefully this leads to greater things.

I have officially signed my first two clients, both from my personal network.

They have committed to a 6-month engagement with a 3-month review, monthly invoicing, payments in advance, and a 30-day notice period.

This fits perfectly with the service model I designed for consistent, high-quality support.

For now, we are working face-to-face and attending key customer meetings, which lets me practise the system in a comfortable environment and handle any concerns directly.

Future clients will be online only to keep things flexible and scalable.

My marketing campaign went live last week and interest is already building. A third potential client has booked a discovery call for later this month.

Today was one of those days where the work behind the scenes starts to show. 2 new clients closed. 1 client renewed, with team support added in.

2 came through networking. 1 came through a client referral.

And last week, I also brought in a new small micro business client and another client renewed to monthly support.

The biggest win for me is not just the new business.

It's the pattern.

Networking is turning into conversations. Conversations are turning into clients. Client work is turning into referrals.

Existing clients are renewing and expanding.

That's the bit I'm most proud of.

Because growth is not just about getting new clients.

It's about building enough trust that people stay, refer, renew, and bring their team into the work.

Big reminder for me today:

Relationships compound when you keep showing up properly.

This has been my intention for the last 2 months,

Most exciting i have 5 more very strong opportunities / prospects in the next week them all booked.

Stay tuned!

Thanks to all community and team for the support, guidance and environment to learn and push myself.

Super chuffed. My first paying client is starting next week, straight from my first campaign. Two meetings in one week and done.

It may only last a few months to sort out their critical issue, but I’m on cloud nine for what might be.

I really thought about my list and my messaging, and went bespoke instead of using the sales pitch. Thank you to Zander and the BCA.

Secured 2 new clients this week, bringing me to 6 in total. In June, I will invoice £12,500 and just need £2,500 more to hit my £15,000 monthly target.

In my old corporate job, I worked 50-60 hours a week and was away 3 nights a week. Now I work around 30 hours, earn similar amounts, and am home every night.

It has been an emotional rollercoaster, but perseverance is working.

Sold another session and gone global. Signed a new client in Melbourne, Australia, all from my home office in the UK through Zoom webinars and strategy calls.

That makes 3 new clients in a week during a pandemic. Happy with that result.
