THE IMPORTANCE
OF HAVING A NICHE (A FOCUS) IN YOUR LIFE COACHING
PRACTICE
Do you remember the disco ball? It is that round, multi-faceted,
mirror-ball that is a fixture at so many high school
dances. It
was fantastic at breaking up a beam of light and scattering
it into a million, faint, fleeting images across the
dance floor.
Too many coaches market like a
disco ball.
Being highly intuitive, feeling, inclusive,
souls we do not want to say no to anyone.
So we send a bunch of weak, general and ineffective
marketing messages out into the market.
In contrast to a disco ball, a
laser so concentrates a beam of light that it can
cut through anything.
The marketing equivalent of a laser is developing
a niche, or focus, for your coaching practice, and
it's important.
(However if you are in your first 6 months
of coaching, don't worry about finding a niche yet.
Experiment coaching different people to build
your confidence and competence, and learn who you
really like working with.)
In picking a niche, you differentiate
yourself from the rest of the world of coaches. You
find a place where your passions, experience, and
strengths meet an aching need in the marketplace.
And then you get noticed by communicating a clear
and consistent message in the language of the problems
your clients already have.
When you find a good niche, you get to a place
in your practice where suddenly your clients recognize
the tremendous value you offer, and start to come
to you.
When considering a niche,
as a minimum, it is important to pick a group of people:
-
That you love to work with.
-
That would appreciate or value much of your life
experiences, training and accomplishments.
-
That have big challenges or problems they are
spending money on now.
-
To whom you will be able to add a lot of value.
-
To whom you will have credibility as a solution
provider.
-
Where the competition is not too entrenched.
-
That you can reach in large numbers, quickly
and cheaply.
The fact that you pick a niche
does not mean you cannot keep coaching your current
diversity of clients, or that you have to turn down
any future clients who may not be in your niche.
It's simply about being more effective with
your marketing efforts because with a niche you will:
-
Understand your ideal client's problems.
-
Speak their language.
-
Know the competitive landscape.
-
Know how to reach large numbers of them. (Their
magazines, meetings, associations, etc.)
-
Be able to stand out as a recognized solution
provider so they start to come to you. (I.E. -
a big fish in a small pond.)
My best estimate is that a carefully
chosen niche gives you about 10 times the return on
a given investment of marketing, than the disco-ball
approach. If you have not found your niche yet, you
may be interested in the new teleclass listed below.
