I help coaches I'm currently working with coaches so again contact with me I've been in this space for for quite a while now so I'll be able to share some strategies and techniques that you can

it within 24 hours of once I've received it so today I want to talk about what are the must-haves for your soccer training business so if you are currently in business right you some of the things I'm about to share with you today you might already have them some of the things I'm about to talk about today you might not have them okay so I'm going to show you five things that I made a priority when I first started my coaching business and these are five things I know that will help you when you either start or you're in growing or you're looking to scale to the next level right these five things aren't in order they're not going to be in order but I know they will help you one by one so the first one is business insurance so at any point within your business if you need to go and hire out an indoor facility or you need to find some indoor space whether it be a church hall a school as I just mentioned an indoor it could be an indoor fiver side facility any way that you need to hire out indoor right they will always ask you for insurance okay not only that some places even ask that you are set up legally so that you are a legally set up business in order for them to to hire that facility out to you now the reason why a lot of these places do that is because they want to make sure that they're hiring it out to an individual or a company that are legit right so you have you are you have your business set up legally and also you're insured and covered in the event anything breaks or anything gets damaged while you you're training your clients within that that facility right so the first must have is a business insurance the second one is website okay what a website is fundamental right pretty much not not so much at the beginning stages of the business but as you start to grow and as you start to work with more clients and as you start to look to expand and grow your business you're gonna need a website in order to create a landing page in order for your clients to register and also for any prospect that's looking for extra supplemental training and you know they might come across your your website and they might register to register a phone call to speak with you and you know join your program so the second one is a website website is really really important because on that website you can set up all your systems and essentially that is where all your leads are going to come in from okay some leads might come in through word of mouth some leads might come in through email but if you have your website set up in a correct way then you'll be able to have all your most of your leads who are coming in online or even go in through your website and then you can use that to follow up with them and look to close them into your program right the third one is value okay value is something that a lot of coaches don't look at when they're either starting or growing their business but essentially value is why clients and why parents invest their money into you if you can provide value if you can solve a problem then parents will exchange their money for your your time okay if there's no value then essentially what happens is you don't differentiate yourself from your competitors and also parents don't will not want to invest in you because they're not you're not solving a problem you're not you're not bringing something to them that is valuable okay so to make this more clearer value can be something that their child is struggling with okay so something that their child is struggling with that your company your program solves so it might be a technical struggle that the child is having maybe they need extra training to help with their technique might be a skill issue it might be tactical understanding of the game it might be a confidence issue right it might be something that doesn't even go that's not even related to to performance but more about how to find a club in the local area or how to find a team or how to get recruited to play at a pro club or recruited to play at the college level right so value is something that parents look for and if you provide value then parents will exchange their hard earned money into your program and essentially they'll invest into into your business and become a client of yours right now the fourth one is a payment system so payment system is how are you going to accept payments from the clients you're working with now a lot of coaches what they do at the beginning stages of the business is they run the business cash in hand so they don't have any payment systems in place everything is done pretty much either cash or check now that's okay short term but if you're looking to grow and scale long term and build a successful sustainable business you're going to need to have a online payment system that you can transition your clients into monthly subscriptions or a yearly plan right somewhere where parents pay online to be part of your program right there's loads of software is out there at the moment that you can use right one we use at our company and one that we encourage coaches to to invest into is a company called Sam car so Sam car is really good because it was with Sam car you can create landing pages and you can set up different promotions and billing and types of billing in order for your clients to be able to pay you online rather than you having to ask parents every after every single session for cash or or check right so a payment system is really important because that's that's that essentially does the work for you right you as a business owner want to focus on improving the business improving the program adding more value to your clients and focusing on what you love which is which is training and you don't want to be keep constantly asking parents for money or hoping that parents bring money on the day of the training session right you want to have that all set up with parents pay online for your training for your service and that system is doing the billing for you right that system is charging and billing the parents and essentially that is then going into your your business account right if you need more help with that getting contact with me there's there's a couple of companies that I currently know of that would be a really good fit for what you are currently doing okay first one though is Sam cart which is one that we regularly use it's one that we are partnered with as well our company here at make money coaching sports okay now the fifth one is high quality training okay so when I look at the five must haves right this one which is it's almost like an obvious one because if you have any type of coaching or training business your training has to be good in order for you to attract clients okay but this is also something that a lot coaches think okay if I've got a high quality training or I provide really good training I'm gonna have a successful business and the truth is it doesn't really work like that because the business aspect of training which is selling promoting marketing closing right prospecting a follow-up right all of those aspects of business which is how to grow and expand your clientele is very different to what you do on the training field what you do on the training field okay should be something that comes second nature to you because it's something that essentially that's the reason why you wanted to go into business in the first place because you're good at what you do you love what you do and now you want to make it a full-time living where you're waking up every single day and you're doing what you love a full-time and as a full-time job alright so high quality training is a must have because you know if you have really good high quality training then you need to have a really high quality business you can't have really good training and then your your business systems are really poor because you're not going to be in business for very long okay and clients are ultimately gonna suss that out and they'll leave you for someone else okay so good training plus good a good business goes hand in hand in order for success right if you can have a good business a mediocre training then you know you you will have clients because you're really good at the business aspect but you're not gonna have clients that stick with you for for longer than nine months or 12 months right you're always gonna have clients that come and go you know every two or three months so having a really good business having good high quality training adding value to the clients you're working with is essentially the secret or the formula to having a successful business okay so if you want more help with this and or if you want more help with any of the five
