    How to Build a Coaching Offer That Actually Works

    Knowing how to coach is not the same as knowing how to turn your expertise into a coaching business. In this episode of the Business of Coaching Workshop, Andrew Jackson and CJ Gotcher break down how coaches can turn their knowledge and skills into a clear, repeatable coaching product. CJ explains his framework for building an offer around the right audience, creating a service you can actually deliver, and developing a predictable process for sales, onboarding, and fulfillment. They also discuss why coaches should start with the client rather than the features of the service, how an introductory coaching session can become an on-ramp to ongoing coaching, and why defining your fulfillment process is essential if you want to grow without creating more work for yourself. Finally, Andrew and CJ look at how courses and educational resources can fit into a coaching business—from lead magnets and onboarding to standalone products—and how TurnKey Coach can bring programming, communication, courses, and client fulfillment into one ecosystem. Whether you are getting your first coaching clients or trying to make an existing service more scalable, the goal is the same: build an offer that is appealing to the right person, deliverable at a high level, and repeatable enough to improve over time.

    How to Get More Coaching Clients Without a Big Following

    Being a great coach is not enough to build a successful coaching business. You also need a consistent way to attract leads, start conversations, follow up, and turn interested people into paying clients. Mike Crowson, CEO and co-founder of AR Funnel, joins Andrew Jackson to explain why the online coaching market is not as saturated as it feels—and why coaches with smaller audiences can still build profitable businesses. They discuss why posting content and waiting is not a marketing strategy, how many conversations coaches should start each day, why imperfect action beats endless preparation, and how to create content and lead magnets for a clearly defined ideal client. You'll also learn: Why great coaches often lose to better marketers How to turn social media engagement into actual leads Why coaches should track daily marketing inputs How to create a lead magnet people genuinely want Why most prospects need nurturing before they are ready to buy How texting and automation can improve follow-up Why your existing contacts may be your best source of new clients How to connect marketing, onboarding, and coaching fulfillment You do not need a massive following to grow your coaching business. You need a clear audience, a valuable offer, consistent outreach, and a reliable system for following up with the people who show interest.

    How Much Should You Charge for Online Coaching?

    How much should you charge for online coaching—and how do you know whether your price can actually support your business? In this episode of the Business of Coaching Workshop, Andrew Jackson and Mac McGregor explain how coaches can build sustainable pricing without simply copying competitors or trying to become the cheapest option in their market. They discuss how to reverse-engineer your prices from the income you need, the time required to serve each client, and the type of coaching business you want to build. They also explore how different service tiers, hybrid coaching, and lower-touch offers can help you serve clients at multiple price points without discounting your best service. You'll learn: How to calculate the real time required to coach each client Why competitor pricing can become a trap How to establish your minimum sustainable income When an introductory or founding-client offer makes sense How to connect your pricing to the value clients receive Why higher-paying clients may be more invested in the process How to raise prices without surprising loyal clients How hybrid coaching can increase your effective hourly rate Your internal pricing calculations may be based on time, but your clients are not buying minutes. They are buying expertise, accountability, confidence, and a path toward the result they want. Learn how to create an offer that works for the client, supports the coach, and gives your business room to grow. Want to grow your coaching business without continually adding more hours?

    How Fitness Coaches Can Use AI to Save Time and Coach Better

    Build a Coaching Method That Keeps Clients Longer with Bakker Shields

    Most fitness coaches already have a method. They simply haven't named it, organized it, or shown clients how it guides the coaching process. Bakker Shields, co-founder and COO of AR Funnel, explains why generic coaching becomes invisible—and how a named, milestone-based method can differentiate your business, improve the client experience, and keep clients moving toward meaningful goals. Bakker breaks down his CLAIM framework: Create a distinctive method Layer it into milestone-based phases Anchor it with a clear coaching stance Implement it with current clients first Market it throughout your business He also explains the difference between a client's goal and your coaching method, why fixed timelines can unintentionally create an expiration date, and how to turn onboarding into a clear roadmap for each client.

    Generative Engine Optimization (GEO): How Coaches Can Get Found in AI Search with Joshua Preece

    The way potential clients search for coaches is changing. Google still matters, but more people are also turning to AI tools to ask detailed, personalized questions about who can help them reach their goals. Andrew Jackson talks with Joshua Preece of JNA Digital Solutions about generative engine optimization, or GEO, and what coaches need to know about getting found in AI search. They break down how GEO relates to traditional SEO, why your website still matters, and how specific, useful content can help the right clients discover your coaching business. They also discuss why generic AI-generated content falls short, how blogs are becoming more valuable in the age of AI search, what local coaches should know about location-specific content, and how to use AI as a powerful assistant without replacing your own judgment and expertise. For coaches and gym owners trying to get more clients, the opportunity is not simply to create more content. It is to clearly communicate who you help, what problems you solve, and why your coaching is relevant to the people searching for exactly what you provide.

    Do Personal Trainer Certifications Actually Matter?

    Personal trainer certifications can feel like the required first step before someone is allowed to coach. But are certifications actually necessary, or are they mostly a permission slip? CJ Gotcher joins Andrew Jackson to break down how coaches should think about certifications, education, insurance, employment requirements, and practical skill development. Certifications can help a coach get insured, get hired, enter a specific industry, or build confidence, but they do not automatically make someone a good coach. The better question is whether a certification solves a real problem. Does it teach the kind of coaching you want to do? Does it help you serve your clients better? Does it open a specific professional door? Or is it just another credential that delays the most important step: actually coaching? For new and developing coaches, this conversation offers a practical way to evaluate personal trainer certifications without getting trapped in credential chasing.

    How to Grow Your Personal Training Business Without Working More Hours with Matt Reynolds

    Growing your personal training business does not have to mean coaching more hours, working longer days, or becoming the bottleneck in your own company. Matt Reynolds joins Andrew Jackson to talk about one of the biggest challenges coaches face as they grow: learning how to work on the business, not just in the business. Coaching clients, writing programs, answering messages, cleaning the gym, managing billing, and putting out fires all matter—but if those tasks consume your entire schedule, there is no time left to build the systems that actually create growth. Matt explains how the ideas behind Undoing Urgency apply directly to coaches, gym owners, and personal trainers. Urgent work will always be there. The question is whether you can create the structure, focus, and discipline to make time for the important work: sales, marketing, SOPs, delegation, metrics, client retention, and long-term strategy. Andrew and Matt also discuss how online coaching and hybrid coaching can give personal trainers more leverage. Instead of tying every dollar of revenue to another in-person hour, coaches can use asynchronous feedback, video review, better systems, and clearer client workflows to serve more people without sacrificing coaching quality. This conversation is especially useful for personal trainers, online coaches, and gym owners who feel maxed out, over-scheduled, or stuck doing every task themselves.
