What do you say when a prospect says, "I need to pray about it"? In this solo episode I share how I respond with integrity: support their prayer, help them get clear first, agree on a decision date, and pray for them before the call ends.Free 10-Step Sales PDF: https://www.f2itribe.com/10sv3hp

That you can use on your very next sales call. If your calls stay on the surface, you feel like you have to sound like other coaches, or you're not sure how to challenge a prospect without being pushy, this one's for you. I share three: ask deeper questions, find your authentic leadership voice, and balance challenge and support.

Sometimes they don't, and that's a good thing. Modeling a mentor can take you further faster, but copying everything can leave you resenting your own calendar or pricing like someone else. Here's how to learn from the best and still ask, "Is this for me?"

For a lot of Christian coaches, it's "Do you want to do this?" at the end of a sales call. Or what to ask after "I need to talk to my spouse." Or the one we ask ourselves: Am I good enough? Here's how asking the next question sets both of you free.

A short solo on building a calendar that protects you from burnout without stalling your income. Put life on the calendar first. Then give your sales work a real place every week.

In this episode, I walk through what I would do if I woke up tomorrow and Faith2Influence was gone — and my family was relying on me to rebuild a coaching business that actually produces income in month one.I share the early failures (one paying client in 2012, three in 2015) and what changed when Faith2Influence started in 2018: a $60,000 first-year goal that became more than $250,000 in revenue. Then I break down the three things I would focus on if I had that same urgency again.Day one: a simple business plan. A clear mission around a problem people will pay to solve, one or two high-value offers, and one path to present them.Day two: build prospect and referral-partner lists from the people you already know, and lean on existing trust.Day three: start conversations. Send messages, follow up, and get on sales calls quickly. Keep an hour each weekday for outreach, because that is where income is created.This one is for brand-new Christian coaches, and for anyone who has been hustling in the wrong places and wants to get back to what actually works.Chapters:00:00 Starting over from zero00:55 Lessons from failure and breakthrough01:53 Build a simple business plan02:51 Write a clear mission statement03:19 Create one or two high-value offers04:13 Establish a signature offer05:11 Choose one offer presentation strategy06:11 Build prospect and referral lists07:31 Use existing trust for early sales08:00 Start conversations through direct outreach08:56 Follow up consistently10:21 Prioritize income-producing work11:16 Begin sales calls quickly12:14 Return to the fundamentals

In this episode, I take on a question that keeps coming up: are Christians a good niche to sell to?People have told me for years that Christians expect it free, that they will not spend, that focusing on a Christian audience is a hard way to grow. That has not been my experience. I talk about how big the Christian market actually is, the myth that Christians do not have money, and why your own stories about Christians and pricing show up in the sales conversation.If you feel called to serve a Christian niche and you have been second-guessing whether that can actually work, this one is for you.Free training: Land More Coaching Clients at landcoachingclients.com.

Have you ever heard of the 70-30 rule in coaching? The idea is simple: Your prospect or client should do about 70% of the talking, while you do about 30%. Some experienced coaches recommend speaking even less. In this episode, Justin explains why asking thoughtful questions can help you become a better coach and close more sales without feeling like you have to teach, pitch, or prove yourself throughout the conversation. You’ll learn how to: • Take the pressure off yourself during sales calls• Lead conversations by asking better questions• Move beyond surface-level answers• Help prospects understand the real cost of staying stuck• Stay present and listen with greater attention• Use your audience’s own questions to create relevant content Justin also shares several practical follow-up questions you can use to help prospects and clients think more deeply about where they are, what they want, and why solving the problem matters.

Are your goals clear enough to actually guide your decisions? In this episode of the Sales Strategies for Christian Coaches podcast, I’m talking about how to set business goals with greater specificity, clear deadlines, and practical accountability. Many coaches know how to help their clients define what they want, but sometimes we don’t apply that same discipline to our own businesses. I walk through several areas where clear goals matter, including revenue, impact, lifestyle, contribution, personal growth, and specific business milestones. I also share a simple framework we used recently at Christian Coaches Academy Live: “I will ______ by ______.” That simple sentence forces you to decide what you actually want to accomplish and when you intend to do it. I also share real examples of coaches who moved forward after putting a specific date around a long-standing goal, including leaving a job to build a coaching business and finally launching a podcast after talking about it for years. In this episode, you’ll learn how to: • Identify the goals that matter most over the next 12 months • Turn broad dreams into measurable commitments • Use deadlines to create focus and accountability • Break bigger goals into practical next steps • Keep your goals visible through writing, conversation, prayer, and planning A goal becomes much easier to act on when you can clearly answer two questions: What will I do? By when? Choose a few goals that matter, put a date beside them, and begin building the plan that gets you there. Ready to build a more consistent way to find and enroll the right coaching clients?
