Coaching Funnel

A Coaching Funnel is a specific sales funnel designed to attract potential clients and convert them into paying customers for your coaching services.

It’s built to draw in, keep interest, and turn the target audience into clients.

This funnel carefully leads potential clients through different steps of finding out and getting involved, eventually getting them to sign up for coaching sessions or programs.1

Usage:

Coaches utilize coaching funnels in various niches, including life, business, health, and wellness coaching.

It’s designed to earn the trust of potential clients by showing them how the coach can meet their specific needs and help them achieve their goals.

The website motivates visitors to move forward through a series of planned steps, like booking a call to learn more, signing up for a workshop, or buying a coaching package.4.

Example:

For example, a life coach who helps people change careers creates a coaching funnel with an engaging homepage offering a free career assessment to attract visitors.

Those who take the assessment get a custom report and an offer to schedule a free call to learn more.

The website also has client feedback, a blog with career tips, and details on coaching options.

All have clear prompts urging visitors to take action to achieve their career dreams.
