Course Description

It turns out, entrepreneurs have a unique psychographic profile which makes them tricky to sell to. In short, they are wired differently than most, which means they often don’t react in entirely logical ways nor do they buy advisory services using the same criteria as other customers. The secret to getting owners to invest in business coaching is to understand what makes them tick.

Learning Objectives

  • The three psychographic profiles that make up the business owner segment.

  • A simple trick for identifying your prospect’s deepest personal motivations.

  • The biggest mistake most business accountants make when targeting owners.

  • Who owners are most likely to turn to for input before they hire a coach.
