Why Not Going Online is Bad for Your Business

Why Not Going Online is Bad for Your Business

If you’re reading this maybe you’re on the fence about taking your business online. You’re worried that it’s going to be a hassle, or that it’ll pull you away from the parts of fitness coaching that you enjoy the most, like those in person one-on-one sessions with your favorite clients.  Maybe you’re worried that taking a hybrid online/offline approach will be too complicated and cause you too many problems. 

Let’s say you’re devoted to maintaining in-person business because that’s where your passion lies. Is there still some benefit to making an effort to offer online training? Yes! Friend of Online SuperCoach Paul Meldrum of Meldrum Performance Coaching notes that even dedicated in-person trainers can benefit from taking their business online. Consider that your clients might have life changes like moving house or disruptions to their schedule that make it difficult to meet you in person. Instead of losing a loyal client to circumstances beyond both of your control, the online option allows you to maintain this relationship and keep working with them. Similarly, you could see fewer cancellations due to schedule constraints, inclement weather, illness, etc. That’s money otherwise being left on the table. This flexibility is also a key selling point when you’re talking to a prospect who feels they might be “too busy” to commit to a training program. 

Finally, time constraints related to travel to and from various facilities for both you and your clients can limit the number of appointments you’re able to book. An online offering is key to maximizing your time. Your online appointments will also give you a bit of a breather from commuting, helping you stay energized for every session and ready to give your clients your best. 

Online SuperCoach is ready to help you take your business online with strategies for either fully online business or hybridization so that you can take your coaching business to the next level and reach the true level of success you’re capable of.
