Live coaching

What is it?

Live coaching consists of educational sessions between yourself and a client, usually carried out over a video conferencing tool.

These direct interactions can be very lucrative, as you're not just charging for what you know - you're charging for the chance to ask specific questions directly.

You'll develop personal, human relationships with your clients, which can be very useful for increasing commitment and reducing churn.
