Hello
Hopefully an experienced business coach will be able to answer some questions...
I am working on my website that will be a one-stop-shop for small business owners. There they will be able to find information about how to manage their businesses + tools like CRM, webmail, calendar, autoresponder, voip+pbx, ordering management system, CMS, bookkeeping and invoicing system, scheduling, project management, timesheets etc etc. + services (from accounting/bookkeeping, web+graphic design, virtual assistant etc etc). Services will be provided by third parties for most part to the benefit of small business owners that will have easy access to all of the above. In this regard I will create a directory or alliances with all sorts of business services providers like accountants, business lawyers, business insurance brokers, web designers, virtual assistants and call centers.
Browsing this forum I came across a couple of threads related to "business coaches" which I wasn't very familiar with but which sounds like a category that I should add to my website to partner with. In this regard I have a few questions to help me understand better their services and how to best approach and include this category in my site:
-is this a regulated industry like accountants and lawyers?
-is there an association and an "official" industry website available?
-is there a professional designation? are there any certifications and exams required for somebody to offer these services?
-what education background and work experience do business coaches typically have?
-what kid of services, more exactly do they provide? do they make any plans for the client (like biz plan, marketing plan, operations plan) or just point them into the right direction? do they provide any connections? do they refer other business services (accountants, etc?)
-what kind of rates do they typically charge and how much would a client pay to a business coach per year (median "ticket" per year)?
-how can a small business owner find a local business coach? is a lot of "business coaching" done online or is it primarily a local activity?
-how do business coaches market themselves primarily? how do they get clients?
-anything else I should know?
