6 Strategies To Enroll Clients


Action Step #1: Boost Your Confidence

What can you do to raise your confidence level before you get on a call with a potential client? (example: hire a coach to help you master enrollment conversations, purchase a sales program, read a book about selling with integrity etc). List all your ideas in a journal. Pick one and follow through on it in 24 hours or less.

Action Step #2: Identify Pitfalls

Think of the enrollment conversations you’ve had so far with potential clients. What are some of the challenges and obstacles your clients have shared that stopped them from hiring you as their coach? Is it the price point? Timing? Maybe they told you they need to check with their husband/wife, first? List everything you can think of in your journal.

Action Step #3: Be Prepared

Look at the list of challenges and obstacles from Reflection #2. Go through each of them one by one. Now, think of answers, ideas and coaching techniques you can use when your clients share these challenges and obstacles with you. This will get you prepared ahead of time, get rid of anxiety and panic and allow you to connect powerfully and confidently with clients in your next enrollment conversation.

Action Step #4: Get Centered

It is extremely important to stay centered during enrollment conversations no matter what your potential client says or does. List at least 3 methods you can use to subtly find your center during enrollment (example; taking 3 deep breaths etc).

Action Step #5: Inspire Inner Peace

Training yourself to stay calm in your everyday life will help you stay centered during enrollment conversations. Choose an activity you can incorporate into your daily routine that will inspire feelings of inner peace and calm such as journaling, meditation or yoga. Start to practice this activity every day.

Action Step #6: Stay Unattached

Commit to staying unattached to the outcome of your enrollment conversations. Give yourself permission to work ONLY with clients who are excited to work with you and ready to sign up for your coaching packages and programs. Allow yourself to gracefully let go of everyone else. Write down your thoughts around the concept of staying unattached and letting go during the enrollment process. Capture any ideas or insights that come up for you.


Mastering how to enroll clients doesn't have to be the most stressful part of being a coach. It's all about following these 6 strategies to help you show up in the most powerful way and allow your coaching skills to close the enrollment conversation for you.
