#36. Should She Scale Her Group Coaching Program? w/ Leslie Chen
November 21, 2023
For years, she's tested, refined, and perfected her small group coaching program. She's done it so well, that she boasts an incredible 95% success rate. And with those kind of results, her next natural question is... "How do I help more people?" But then, the next thought is... "Will it make it worse for those who are already inside my program?" That, right there, is the conundrum many skilled coaches and consultants face. Effectively, do we stay small and help a few people really well? Or do we scale, and help more people, but not as well? This week on The Modern Consultant, I have the pleasure of saying to our guest Leslie Chen... "What if you could have both?" Then, in this week's special "coaching podcast" episode, you'll hear me walk her begin to architect how to do it. More about Leslie: She is running an executive weight loss coaching program focusing on helping a community of high-impact women remove a toxic relationship with food while experiencing automated, inevitable weight loss. Topics We Cover: Lead generation and scaling Leslie Chen's business Refining messaging and value proposition Scaling coaching program without compromising quality Surveying and data collection for decision-making Pricing and revenue considerations Lessons learned and future goals References and Links: https://www.riselean.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/leslielchen/
