Custom
Coaching Assessments
An on-line assessment
is a great way to grab the attention of people who come to your web site.
Prospective clients love quizzes and self-tests, and the ability to get a
personalized report back right away on who you are or how you live is very
engaging. Assessment
Generator allows you to create your own professional-looking coaching
assessments and post them for your clients. You come up with the question,
write a reports users will get when they take the test, and just input it
into the wizard. Assessment generator generates an on-line form, scores the
test, sends out a report AND sends you the e-mail address of everyone who
takes your assessment.
For example, take a look
at "Are You at Risk?",
an assessment I posted on the home page of my personal coaching site. It lets
pastors to evaluate their life balance and how likely they are to achieve
their destiny. We use it to attract prospective clients, and since you get
the e-mail of every person who takes the assessment, it's a great way to add
to your mailing list. Click

User-Friendly
Newsletter Service
A newsletter is a great way to keep your name in front of prospective clients.
E-mail newsletters let you send your message out with
the least amount of time, money and energy. However, send your newsletter
to 50 or more people and you may find it blocked by your ISP. Even more bothersome
is the hassle of dealing with bounced e-mails and manually adding everyone
to your ever-growing list.
The answer? On-line newsletter
services like Constant Contact make life easier by doing the heavy lifting
for you. They'll manage your list, make sure your mailings get by the spam
filters, track which addresses are good, enter new addresses automatically,
and even let you generate reports on how many people are reading your newsletters!
If you are serious about a newsletter, this is a must. If you want to see
an example of a Constant Contact-generated newsletter, sign up for Coach22's
offering under the menubar to the left (type your address in the box and it
goes directly into my newsletter database—pretty slick, huh?)
Business Cards and Small Printing
Vista Print is a great place to get business cards on-line - you can even get them for free (if you are willing to have a Vista Print Ad on the back. You upload your card design or design it on-line, preview it, then have the cards sent to you by mail. Vista Print also is a good source for those little business aids like custom return address labels, a stamp with your name and address on it, and so forth.
