Bobette Reeder on Finding Initial Clients
The following is taken from David’s interview with Bobette Reeder in 10 Super Coaches.
What top methods, in order, did you use to get your clients in the first 2 years?
I was totally involved in my community… did a lot of leadership activities and social activities and visible activities.. this led to lots of credibility with a large number of people. I also was heavily involved in the coaching community (my training school and IFC).
What method did you find most effective in getting your initial clients?
I talked about coaching whenever the opening presented itself… and then I dropped the subject unless I was pressed to discuss it. I made it seem almost mysterious… and people wanted to know more. And my life was visibly changing too… always attractive. And I was VERY excited about it… very enthusiastic… people wanted some of that!
