Do you have some questions around the Club? I thought these FAQ’s might help you when you’re making your decision to join.
How quickly can I make money from this?
In the first module I teach you how to run a session so you could go away after that and create your own module and run it as quickly as you can create and market it. Alternatively after 30 days module 2 is released and that gives you everything you need without researching. It comes down to how quickly you will make it happen. I provide all the tools for you to get up and running pretty much straight away. You have to source the venue, set dates and market to fill your sessions.
I am just starting up my coaching business. Is this for me as well as ‘seasoned’ coaches or just those with experience under their belt?
The sessions are perfect for both. I started running my own group coaching sessions when I first qualified because I didn’t want to wait around for 121 clients to show up. I wanted to build my confidence and business and be up and running quickly earning money. The content covers elements that you can use in your 121 sessions with your clients and also in your own group coaching sessions. Equally, the sessions would work for an existing coach that wants to add another income stream to their business. I would have honestly loved this resource when I was starting out, I had to spend a lot of time researching the topics so they took me a while to get up and running because of that. I’ve created these modules so that all the hard work is done for you and you can go out there and be a great coach.
What are the topics included?
If you click on the original sign up page you will see there are 12 modules with 11 topics. The first module covers how to run a session of your own. As the club evolves if there is a specific requirement for additional modules then I’m happy to consider them, just let me know what you want/need.
What is not included in the membership?
Nothing that I can think of. This is a ready made programme allowing you to focus on what you’re good at … Coaching.
The topics take a lot of research to pull together so all the hard work has been done for you. Basically month 1 explains to you how the sessions work and gives you a mini session. Month 2 gives you a full session that you can use immediately to go out there and deliver. If you’re in a rush and want to do it quickly you could pay for both month 1 and 2 together so that you could run them immediately or you can do month 1 and then 30 days later your full module would be released.
I provide you with the slides and content for the sessions, any sheets that you might hand out and useful additional things like checklists, email address capture forms and more. I have had a copywriter create some marketing wording (as that’s not my strength!) so for each month you would have the posters for marketing. Each month builds on the next and covers things like marketing, social media, etc etc. You have high level access to me in the club if there are things that you want to ask, plus you can share accountability/ideas there too.
You obviously don’t have 121 access to me but this is a high level club so I aim to answer every question you might need the answer to (as long as it’s related to the Cappuccino Coaching Sessions of course!) If there’s something missing that you want just tell me and if it’s relevant/possible then I’ll consider adding it.
When you have been running these sessions previously how easy have you found it to attract people?
Ok so the key is to market well locally, I use lots of different networks such as my local networking groups, post it on the local radio station, facebook events, lots of sharing through friends, family, local community pages, twitter etc. When you market the sessions well you can attract the maximum 8 and some people wanting to be added to another session. If you don’t do the marketing then you tend to end up with just your ‘repeat’ clients and maybe the odd one or two that might have heard about you. I’ve found having a routine helps to make sure I’m covering off everything.
How many people do you generally have in one group session?
I run the sessions for 8 people because that works really well for me, the group is small enough to get some great conversations going. However the sessions are structured that you could run them for longer so that you could have more people in a session. Module 2′s topic for instance is all about values and it’s one that can encourage lots of conversation so could be run as a four hour workshop for lots more people. You would just need to be able to manage the group through facilitating it well. You could choose to run a full day with a morning and afternoon topic, i.e. values in the morning, goal setting in the afternoon and charge more for a daily rate.
Do they tend to continue on session by session or just do a one off?
I have some that just dip into the odd session and I have my ‘regulars’ who come to every one, they have become friends so all use it as a way to get together. I have run them as individual sessions but for the club have done them as a running theme, that way you can plan out the whole year if you want to and each topic leads into the next. You could then run it as a monthly club if you wanted to, maybe even adding in a Facebook page for accountability to keep them motivated and engaged. You could say buy 11 get 12th session free or buy 12 get added to facebook group. There are lots of different ways to work it.
How many sessions would you do per month, I.e, maybe same session content but different town in same month?
I have tended to run 1-2 a month. For me my primary focus isn’t life coaching – it’s coaching coaches but had I continued with life coaching my intention was just that – to run them in various locations as many times as I wanted in the month. At one point I was offering the same module at the same location at different times, so one in the morning, one in the evening – either the same day or same week. I still run sessions now, but just for fun as it’s not where I want to focus my business.
You said sessions are 2 hours, and also said ‘earn £100 per hour’. How much is a 2 hour session per person?
I charge clients £25, some of my club members are thinking of charging £30 per person. To get the £100 per hour you need to get 8 clients as a minimum paying the £25.
How long do you have to sign up to the Club for?
You can leave whenever you like. There is no contract to sign. I’d love for you to stay in the Club as long as it still provides value for you. If it’s not providing value tell me because I want to make this easy and for it to really work for you.
What are the Q & A Calls about and when are they held?
The Q & A calls tend to be a place where anyone can ask questions around the sessions/content etc. They are held virtually via a webinar link that’s provided to you in advance of the call. The calls are held once a month and alternate between a morning and an evening call so to allow for things like time zones, childcare, work commitments etc.
What if I can’t make the Q&A session?
Technology permitting then you will get a recording with 24-48 hours after the session.
Can I use my own marketing material or do I need to refer to Cappuccino Coaching Club?
Yes, you can use your own marketing material and no, you don’t need to refer to the Cappuccino Coaching Club – you can call it whatever you choose. I provide you with all you need but this is just to make it easier for you. If you want to make it into your own format then feel free. This is about making it work for you. You can choose to use all of the content I provide or just specific aspects of it, whatever you prefer.
Can I use the name Cappuccino Coaching for my own sessions?
Yes, sure! Feel free to use the name, I’m not precious about it. I wanted something quirky so this was what I came up with. The only rule around this is that the sessions are not to be run online as per my terms and conditions.
