How to do 1-1 coaching calls?

karupoiss · Mar 5, 2024

I am thinking about doing 1-1 coaching calls over video in the self-help sub-niche.

The problem is that I have no idea how much to ask for 1-hour call and also - how to "convert" the clients.

Should I offer them 1 free call, then talk about their problems, give advice, and then ask them to leave a review for the free call? Should I always offer 1-hour free call, and then the next one would be for x amount of dollars?

What is the standard rate? $100? $50? $20? - I have a pen name in the sub-niche as I have a community around the topic, but I haven't actually ever shown my face.

Trials always help. Conversion depends on how you make them feel in this trial.

I know psychologists that start with a free 1/2 hour consultation.
The ongoing fees will depend on which country you live in + your reputation.
Some websites are offering this kind of service - make a search to get the idea.

I'd personally start by offering 5-10 people free sessions in exchange for an honest review.

Then I'd offer everyone interested a free 15-20 minute call where I'd get to know the person and ask what kind of things they are looking to tackle.
I'd take notes and show genuine interest in the person and their problem. I'd end the call with going through how I could help them and how.
I'd also very slightly/minimally help them with one of their problems quickly, but in a way that leaves them with more questions than what they came with. That would incline the prospects to book a full session next time.

Pricing is rather a question of how much do you value your time, and how expensive is your clients' time.
If you are really good at what you do and you have a name in that space, you can easily ask for a hundred for an hour call, though I'd incline towards $50 if you are new in the space.
No matter the situation, I wouldn't go lower than $50/hour. You don't want to seem like a $25 Wish con-artist guru.

Thanks, I think what you suggested is the best way to go
