Hiring team coaches has been one of the key steps I've taken to really grow and scale
my coaching business. I remember just a couple of years ago, feeling really maxed out and
wishing and hoping to clone myself. I was thinking, how can I duplicate myself so that
I can coach more clients and have more time, and I also felt really hesitant and resistant
to handing my clients over to someone else. It's a big trust thing, right, and I'm sure
you're feeling the same way. You're asking yourself, how can someone coach my clients
that way? I would coach them. How can I be sure that my clients will be taken care of?
How can I be sure my clients will be happy when someone else coaches them? So I understand
it's a big step, but if you want to grow your business, you want to scale the business,
you want more income and you want more time back on your own schedule.
It's incredibly important for you to hire team coaches and there is an amazing way to
do that really safely and do it slowly and hire people that you can trust you can rely
on and that will help you get even better client results. So let's take a look at the
important steps you need to take to identify the type of coach you want to hire, how to
find that coach, how to select them, how to onboard them, and even how to manage them
to make sure they're performing the way you want them to perform and they're creating
amazing results and outcomes for your coaching clients. Step number one is to identify the
type of coach you should be hiring. Now you have two different options. Option number
one is to hire a complimentary coach. And option number two is to hire a supplementary
coach.
A complimentary coach is someone who can offer services and skills that will complement the
services that your clients are already receiving from you. So in my business, for example,
I'm a business coach. I could hire a marketing coach, a sales coach, a mindset coach, or
a tech coach, for example, to offer my clients complimentary services and skills that will
help them get better results. And that's exactly what I've done. I've hired a sales coach.
We have a marketing coach. You have mindset coaches, we have copy coaches, we have tech
experts. We have people in all those different areas that we know they need help with so
that they don't just get me in my expertise. They receive coaching and expertise from experts
in all of these fields. Complimentary areas. Option number two is to hire a supplementary
coach who can actually replace you or help your coaching.
Clients get results when you're not there or coach even more clients. Now a supplementary
coach will be coaching in the same area that you specialize in. In my business, for example,
I hired a business coach, someone who can be there when I'm away, someone who can you
know, help my clients out even more or someone who can coach on the same topics that I'm
coaching on, so I'm essentially duplicating myself so that we can take on more clients
and serve more people. The next step for you to figure out what you want your coach to
actually do for you, will they be hosting one to one coaching sessions? Will they be
doing Q and A calls too? Will they be answering emails? Figure out the type of services that
your new coach will be offering to your coaching clients and how you would best utilize them.
Also realize that you can take it very slowly and you can actually try out your new coach
so you could bring on a coach and you could give them just one coaching client and then
ask that coaching client what their experience was like in working with that coach to make
sure that your customers are receiving the top notch service that they're used to. Let's
talk about the selection process. As with any hiring process, you want to start the
selection with a job description and we call this a four R. Four R stands for results,
requirements, responsibilities, and the role, the role is a general overview of what the
role looks like. So you want to be really clear about that role and describe the role
in general. You want to be really clear about the responsibilities and what your coach will
actually be responsible for in your business.
You want to think about the requirements you have on them, the background, the experience,
schooling perhaps, and you also want to be really clear about the results you expect
from that coach. And when you put all of that on paper in a job description for them, you
will have a very clear picture about what you're looking for and the candidates out
there. I will also have a very clear picture about what you're actually expecting from
them. Once you have a job description, of course you have to get the word out there
and you can take a look at things like job boards or LinkedIn. It's a great idea to look
in your circles of influence, your friends, your social media followers. For example,
you can send an email to your email list. You can tell your friends and family for referrals.
You can ask your colleagues in your specific field, will they put the word out there and
how those key people that you think might be able to refer someone to you about the
coaching position you have available. Referrals are always best because these people are already
come with someone who is a reference for them and they're not completely cold.
Now, when you have your coaches apply for your position, make sure you ask them for
three things. First of all, ask them for a three to four minute video where they actually
describe to you what their background is and why they want to work for you and why they
think they're the best for the position. This allows you to really get to know them and
the energy and weed out the people that might not be a good fit for you. Also, of course,
ask for their resume and also ask them for a disc profile. It's a d I s c profile and
that's a personality profile level. Help you figure out the right type of person for the
right type of position in your coaching business. Now it's time for you to select some candidates
and bring them into a group interview. I used to be very hesitant to do group interviews,
but I've found them to be super effective because you're able to identify the candidates
that really stand out when you're looking at them in a group.
So what I recommend to you is to set up a group interview where you and maybe someone
in your business, maybe a business manager or someone that you really trust, meet with
your candidates and you invite four or five of them in a zoom meeting or a video conference
where you can see them and you can see how they act and how they respond and how they
show up for themselves in comparison to each other. You know what it's like when you meet
with someone and you talk to them. You sort of want to like them. You know, you sort of
want to like that person and you want to make it happen. And so when you're meeting them
one to one, you may not notice certain aspects about them and their personality when compared
to when you actually meet with an entire group. When you're meeting with an entire group of
people, you might see that someone is more outgoing than someone else.
Someone is more outspoken, someone is more confident. Maybe someone is friendlier, whatever
that might be. You will notice certain nuances in people that you may not pick up on when
you interview them one to one. Once you have selected the ideal candidate for a coaching
position, now it's time to onboard that person, and onboarding is something that is extremely
important for your new candidate to really hit the ground running. Give them an amazing
experience and allow them to be successful in the shortest amount of time possible. Now,
onboarding means that you actually spend a lot of time with them. It's a very time consuming
thing for you, but it's well worth it because you want to really optimize your candidates
chances for success. So I'd recommend you meet with them daily for the first 14 days,
so for two weeks you meet with them every single day for a half hour, 45 minutes, and
talk about their day.
The daily onboarding and the daily meetings will really allow your coach to get comfortable
in the position to build that relationship with you. You'll have an open conversation,
have any problems fixed quickly, any questions answered fast, and really allow them to succeed
fast. In this new role, in addition to onboarding, I recommend you give them a training library
with SOPs and procedures where they can self study. Ideally, you want to make this big
training google drive or dropbox available to your new coach so that they can go in there
and they can study everything on their own time. During your onboarding phase, it's also
really important to let your coach shadow you, so include them in as many meetings as
possible. Include them in one to one coaching calls with clients, with the client's permission,
of course, include them in group coaching calls. Include them in your team meetings,
show them your plan for growth, even give them program access.
If you have a membership site, your new coach should be reviewing your modules, your videos,
your workbooks to soak up and familiarize themselves with the information which again
then in turn, help them become successful so much more quickly. In addition to your
daily meetings, you should have a weekly meetings, not just with your coach, but with your entire
team and make sure your coach knows what their commitments are. So review that has several
completed the prior week and review the tasks that they're going to be completing the following
week and what they're committing to accomplishing. This is not to micromanage your coach but
to make sure that the entire organization and everybody that works for you knows exactly
what everybody else is doing, it facilitates communication on the team and it helps people
add more value when they see other people do something with they can you know, help
out, they can add contents, they can serve and it's just going to make the entire business
and your entire team so much more productive.
The last thing you should do is to review your coaches' coaching sessions. Ideally,
you'll have your coach record their one to one calls, to record the group coaching calls,
and be quality actual coaching they're doing in your business because that will allow you
to check in on them, watch the replays and see what's going right and see what's going
not so right perhaps and help them fix those errors and do better next time. Immediately.
Again, your goal is not to micromanage them. Your goal is to support them and help them
succeed as quickly as possible to reinforce that they're doing a good job to make them
happy and successful in their role, and all of this will help you be more successful as
well. Now that your coach is well on their way to succeeding - they're in Your Business,
they're coaching clients, you can move away from onboarding and into ongoing management.
Now, several tips I can give you to successfully manage your new coach. The first thing you
should do is have periodic meetings with them where you discuss clients. One of the biggest
fears I had in the beginning was to lose track of my clients and not know what was happening
with them. So I have weekly meetings with my coaching team and we discuss what's happening
with clients who is doing what, who is succeeding, what are their accomplishments, who is struggling
and how can we help them better. And that communication allows me to stay in touch with
my clients, step in when I need to, and also, help my coaches succeed in their coaching
sessions with clients and help our clients be so much more successful because of that.
