Why You Should Use A Client Welcome Pack

Why You Should Use A Client Welcome Pack

Making a good first impression is one of the best ways to foster a healthy coach/client relationship. As a coach, consistently building upon these relationships helps keep clients happy and in your using your services for the long haul. 

Losing a client in the early stages of this relationship can be costly for your coaching business.

Here are some cold hard facts.

82% of people report feeling regret or guilt over a purchase.

This is what we call buyers remorse.

A cognitive battle of consumption is waging a neural war inside of your head.

One, called the avoidance system, tells you to avoid risks and negative consequences. Given that most people have, at some point in their training life had a bad experience of personal training this is a biggie.

The other, the approach system, tells you to do whatever makes you happy in that moment and right now when that client is wanting to sign up with you the outcome you’re potentially going to provide is going to make them happy, very happy.

When a client becomes aware of your services, they feel a heightened sense of endless possibility, excitement, and desire, and they put pen to paper and sign up.

Post-purchase, that approach system “boost” that you had dies down, and the avoidance system comes rushing back in. Suddenly and violently, you’re confronted with all the suppressed consequences of your action.

They start to wonder if they can do what’s expected of them


They wonder if they could do this all themselves without your help.

They wonder if you’re the right coach for them and if you truly care and can truly help them achieve new goals.

They also start to compare you to past experiences.

That’s why it’s critical that the first point of contact with you after they’ve bought in eliminates all doubt.

It’s not when you see them next as at that point they’ve gone home, asked all those questions, and you hope they come to the answer that’s best for your business.

If not, they change their mind.

They view you through the same lens as their past coach, something that takes you weeks to correct if you’re lucky enough to continue working with them.

First, second, and all future impressions count. In the world of online and face-to-face coaching, what makes you stand out?

Answer me this.

Why do estate agents send costly WELCOME PACKS to new tenants, AFTER they’ve paid a six or seven-figure sum for a house?

Because people remember details.

They tell their friends about how good the estate agent was, only remembering two things, the elation and happiness of getting their keys and the hamper they received after opening their door.

Why does room service fold the end of your toilet roll?

That excitement of signing up and that feeling they have when you speak to them.
