Why Most Business Coaches Struggle to Get Clients (And How to Fix It)

The Weekly Win: Why Clients Don’t See the Value of Coaching—And How to Fix It

April 09, 20253 min read

You know the value you bring to the table. The question is—do your potential clients?

If you’ve ever faced resistance when pitching your services, it’s probably not about your price. It’s because your prospects don’t yet understand the true impact coaching can have on their business. The good news? That gap is fixable—and today, we’re going to close it.

The Real Problem

Clients often see coaching as an expense, not an investment. Why? Because they’ve been burned before. Burned by fluff. Burned by vague “accountability” and not much else. So they come in guarded, skeptical, and hyper-focused on immediate, tangible ROI.

And let’s be honest—saying “I’ll help you grow your business” isn’t cutting it anymore. That’s what every coach says.

What clients really want is certainty. A clear line between what they invest and what they get back.

The Fix: Make the Value Tangible

You need to show themnot tell them—the results you help create. Here’s how:

1. Quantify the Pain
Get specific about what their current problems are costing them. Missed leads, low conversions, poor follow-up, unqualified traffic—it all adds up. Help them connect the dots.

2. Map the Possibilities
Don’t promise the moon. Show them measurable, realistic wins.
Example:

“If we fixed this one area, you could increase revenue —without spending more on ads.”

3. Give Them a Plan
Outline a simple 90-day or 12-month roadmap. Not a vague “support system,” but clear steps with expected outcomes. People buy clarity.

When you do these three things, your coaching goes from “Maybe someday” to “How soon can we start?”

Want to Fast Track This Entire Process?

You can walk through every question manually. You can do the math on your notepad and build a custom roadmap from scratch.
Or… there’s a tool you can use that does all of this for you—faster, easier, and way more impressively.

The Shortcut: Profit Acceleration Software™

Karl (yes, that Karl) built this software to help coaches like you turn consultations into no-brainer “yeses.”

Here’s what it does:

  • Guides you through a strategic conversation that uncovers hidden profits in under 45 minutes

  • Runs the numbers and creates instant ROI charts and projections

  • Automatically builds a custom 12-month roadmap based on your prospect’s answers

The best part? Your prospects see the value of coaching before they ever write a check. That’s a game-changer.

Why This Works

When a business owner sees a breakdown of exactly where their profits are leaking—and how much money they’re missing out on—it stops being theoretical. It becomes real. You’re not selling a promise. You’re proving a result.

This flips the script from “Can I afford coaching?” to “Can I afford to not do this?”

Action Steps for You

If you’re ready to:

  • Close more high-ticket clients with less resistance

  • Show real, measurable ROI before they even hire you

  • Stand out from every other coach out there…

Then it’s time to see how Profit Acceleration Software™ can help you close the gap—and the sale.
