Have you ever scratched your head thinking about what a business coach really does?
How do they help?
What will be expected of you?
Can a business coach transform your business into a well-oiled, profit-generating machine?
The answers to these questions will differ depending on the business coach.
Why?
Because just like every business owner is different (including you!), so are we, the coaches.
Here’s a little behind-the-scenes look at how I do things at Philip Chantry HQ:
Step 1: The Get-Together
Our journey begins with a simple yet crucial step: getting to know each other.
So, the first thing I’ll do is schedule a 30-45 minute meeting / call with you to learn more about your business and your goals. Think of it as a friendly chat where you can share your dreams, ambitions, and challenges. I’ll also spill the beans on how I help you get the results you’re looking for, and what to expect from me week to week.
This “get-to-know-you” phase is all about determining whether we’re a good fit for each other. We’re on the right track if we’re smiling, nodding, and coming up with ideas together.
If on our first call, it’s clear that our brand of coaching isn’t a good fit, that’s fine as we’re not right for everybody.
A great coaching journey is all about trust, understanding, and also having some fun along the way!
Step 2: The Gifted Profit Growth Session
Once we’ve established that we’re a good match, I like to kick things off with a special gift for my clients – the Profit Growth Session (after all, who doesn’t want to grow their profits?).
Before we dive into this session, I ask you to fill out a brief business background form. This helps me understand your business better so our session can focus on what you need.
The Profit Growth Session typically lasts around 2 to 2 and a half hours. During this time, we’ll delve deep into your business, exploring its strengths, weaknesses, challenges, and, most importantly, its profit-growing opportunities.
This session is where the magic begins, and it provides us with the insights needed to determine how we move forward as coach and client.
Step 3: Selecting The Right Package
After the profit growth session, we’ll have a much clearer picture of your business and its growth potential. If we still both believe that we can work together effectively, we’ll move on to the fun part: picking the right coaching plan for you!
I offer various coaching packages designed to address specific business challenges and goals. We’ll work together to select the package that aligns with your goals and budget.
And once we’ve got that sorted, we’ll pencil in our start date and get the ball rolling on our coaching adventure!
Step 4: Positioning & Alignment Day
Once you hop on board as an official client, we kick things off with a 30-minute positioning session. This chat helps us get on the same page about who’s doing what and what we’re hoping to achieve together. It’s all about ensuring our coaching experience is smooth and beneficial for both of us from day one.
After this, it’s time to dive deeper. I’ll block off a day with you for my signature Alignment Day.
This day is about dreaming big and plotting your business and personal goals. Imagine it as creating the blueprint for your business that doesn’t just see your profits soaring but also fits your personal dreams.
We’ll break down those big dreams on our alignment day into bite-sized quarterly goals. We’ll jot down action steps, make clear who’s on top of what, and create a plan to nail these goals. It’s like plotting your map to success.
Step 5: Fortnightly Accountability & Support
With our goals defined and a solid plan in place, it’s time to implement our strategy.
We’ll meet regularly, typically fortnightly, to ensure you stay on track and accountable. These sessions are like checkpoints to ensure you’re achieving your goals. I provide guidance, support, and insight, helping you navigate any blind spots and challenges that may arise.
Our main goal? To build a business that can work without you.
We’ll work on systems, processes, and strategies that allow your business to thrive independently, giving you the freedom to focus on strategic growth or even take a well-deserved break.
So, there you have it – my step-by-step process for coaching businesses to achieve sustainable growth and profitability.
