Coaches realize quickly: without authority, growth stalls ★ Sell more books ★ Step onto more stages ★ Unlock unstoppable momentum

Are your LinkedIn prospecting efforts delivering the results you want, or does it feel like you’re spinning your wheels? 

The difference often comes down to a few critical factors: clarity on your Ideal Client Profile, a conversion-focused profile, consistent outreach, and using the right tools to track and scale your efforts. 

Take a moment to reflect: Does your profile clearly state who you help and how? Are your messages client-focused, and do you follow up with prospects effectively? If you want a quick, actionable way to benchmark where you stand (and uncover where you can improve), check out this LinkedIn Prospecting

While speaking with a coach, we discussed the latest ICF Global Coaching Study and what it actually reveals about the earnings of coaches.

Most people only see the headline number: “The average coach makes around $70K per year.”
 Sounds great, right?

But when you look deeper into the full report, the story changes completely.
That number is heavily influenced by executive and corporate coaches, who sit at the higher end of the market. Once you focus solely on personal and life coaches, the average annual income drops to approximately $𝟮𝟮,𝟬𝟬𝟬.

And that might still be generous, since coaches who are struggling often don’t take the survey in the first place.

𝗜𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗮 𝘁𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗰𝗸.

Most coaches aren’t earning anywhere close to what the industry headlines suggest. Not because they lack skill, but because they haven’t built the right systems, positioning, or visibility to turn coaching into a sustainable business.

If you are feeling stuck or invisible, you are definitely not alone.

13 Things That Won’t Get You Clients (Even Though Many Coaches Think They Will)

This is a lighthearted list, but with a serious message: too many coaches focus on the wrong things.

1. Certifications
❌ Listing letters after your name won’t win clients.
 ✅ Showing how you solve real problems will.


2. Coaching Modalities
❌ “NLP, EFT, co-active” often just confuse people.
 ✅ Clear outcomes—like “I’ll help you double your client base”—make sense.


3. Proprietary Frameworks
❌ Your “Unique Method™” sounds cool to you.
 ✅ Clients care about the results it delivers, not the label.


4. Passion Statements
❌ “I love helping people” is expected, not unique.
 ✅ Stories and case studies prove your passion in action.


5. Logos and Branding Obsessions
❌ A shiny logo won’t sign contracts.
 ✅ Consistent, client-focused messaging will.


6. Coach-Speak
❌ Phrases like “holding space” don’t translate.
 ✅ Speak in your clients’ words. Meet them where they are.


7. Spiritual Jargon
❌ “Source energy” isn’t everyone’s language.
 ✅ Use the vocabulary your target audience already trusts.


8. Empty Newsletters
❌ Nobody signs up for “tips & updates.”
 ✅ A valuable lead magnet (like a checklist or assessment) gets attention.


9. Fancy Tools
❌ A $300 CRM with no clients is a waste.
 ✅ Simple spreadsheets work until you scale.


10. Morning Routines
❌ Nobody cares what time you wake up.
 ✅ They care what transformation you’ll bring them.


11. Symbolic Images
❌ Stock photos of sunsets don’t sell.
 ✅ Authentic photos of you in action build trust.


12. Directories
❌ They turn you into a commodity.
 ✅ Positioning yourself as a specialist commands premium fees.


13. Motivational Quotes
❌ Posting “inspirational” images rarely drives business.
 ✅ Sharing insights and personal lessons does.

👉 Which of these do you see coaches spending the most time on instead of focusing on results?
