Webinar: 3 Non-Negotiable Areas to Get Clients on LinkedIn

Many coaches are present on LinkedIn. Far fewer are able to consistently build visibility, credibility, and meaningful client conversations through it. Often, it is not a lack of capability, but uncertainty around how to communicate one’s value authentically and consistently. As part of the ICF Pune Chapter Monthly webinar series, we are hosting a practical session on: The 3 Non-Negotiable Areas to Get Clients Through LinkedIn This session will explore: ✔️ What makes a coaching profile credible ✔️ How content builds trust and visibility ✔️ Common mistakes that reduce engagement and inquiries Date: Thursday, 21st May 2026 Time: 6:30 PM IST Platform: Zoom Looking forward to meaningful learning and conversations with the coaching community.  Below is the registration link: https://lnkd.in/dqhV4ZEp Vijay Srinivasan | Yogeshwar Joshi | Ajit Yadwadkar | Ajit Ambekar | Sunil Deshmukh | Jayshree Kirtane | Nachiket Khare #ICFPune #BusinessOfCoaching #LinkedInForCoaches #ProfessionalCoaching #CoachVisibility #PersonalBranding

The biggest problem in India’s coaching industry isn’t competition. It’s TRUST. Today, anyone can open Instagram, add “Coach” in their bio, and start selling courses. And because of that…genuine coaches are paying the price. Potential clients now ask: ❓ “What certification do you have?” ❓ “Can you prove results?” ❓ “Why are you charging more than others?” Many buyers compare coaches only on price — not transformation. The market is flooded with: ⚠️ Fake success screenshots ⚠️ Unrealistic income claims ⚠️ Generic “guru” advice ⚠️ Copied content & fake testimonials As a result, even skilled coaches struggle to build credibility. The coaches who will win in 2026 are not the loudest ones. They are the ones who: ✅ Show real client outcomes ✅ Build authority consistently ✅ Educate instead of over-selling ✅ Share authentic experiences ✅ Focus on trust before transactions In today’s market: Credibility is the new marketing. What’s your take? Have you noticed trust becoming a major issue in the coaching industry? #CoachingIndustry #PersonalBranding #BusinessCoaching #DigitalMarketing #OnlineCoaching #BrandTrust #MarketingStrategy #CreatorEconomy #Leadership

Most Indian coaches aren't bad at their craft. They're bad at one thing: Getting paid consistently for it. Here's what I see every week: A coach with 200 testimonials. A proven framework. Real transformations. …and a calendar with 6 empty slots next month. Not because their program is weak. Because nobody built them a system to fill it. They're doing 3 hours of DMs a day. Running webinars that close 1–2%. Burning ₹80K on ads that bring leads who can't afford them. Then hiring a setter. Firing the setter. Then trying to do it all themselves again. I've been studying this problem for months. And here's what I've found: The coaches who crossed ₹10L–₹15L/month didn't get better at coaching. They got a system that closed for them. On Thursday, May 15, I'm launching something I've spent months building. It's called the Coach-to-Crore Client Engine. For Indian coaches with programs priced ₹1L and above, who are tired of the revenue rollercoaster. More details soon. But if you're a coach in India and this hit close to home, drop "ENGINE" in the comments. I'll DM you first when it goes live. #IndianCoaches #BusinessCoaching #LeadGeneration #CoachingBusiness #SalesCoach #ClientAcquisition #CoachingInIndia #DigitalMarketing #BusinessGrowth

Last week, I met an old friend who runs a coaching institute in Delhi.  He looked stressed.  I asked, “What happened? Admissions season should be your best time, right?”  He sighed and said,  “Leads aa rahe hain… but conversions nahi ho rahe.”  As we spoke, he showed me something shocking:  Over 𝟱𝟬𝟬 𝗶𝗻𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀 in a week… but barely 𝟭𝟬–𝟭𝟱% 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻.  I asked, “Follow-up kaise karte ho?”  He replied:  “Team calls karti hai… but delay ho jata hai. Kabhi miss ho jata hai.”  That was the real problem.  Not lead quality.  Not pricing.  Just… delayed response.    I told him:  “What if every lead gets a call within 30 seconds?”  He laughed. “Impossible.” And then asked with hope, “how”    I explained 𝗔𝗜 𝘃𝗼𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀.    • Instantly call every new lead  • Speak in natural Hindi/English  • Ask qualification questions (course, budget, timeline)  • Auto-tag hot vs cold leads    My response was supported via data:  Institutes using instant #AI follow-ups see:  • 2–3x higher conversion rates  • 60–80% reduction in missed leads  He paused and said,  “If this works… it changes everything.”  Exactly.  Because in #education,  Speed is not an advantage anymore.    It’s survival.  𝗔𝗜 𝘃𝗼𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 aren’t just automation tools; it is need of business in the era of 𝗔𝗜 and we at Tevatel are working to ensure this upcoming need of business.    #AI #AIVoiceAgent #LeadGeneration #LeadConversion #SalesAutomation #CallCenter #EdTech #CoachingInstitute #Admissions #BusinessGrowth #StartupIndia #Automation  #ceo #CoFounder #CMO #Chairmen #Director #partner #CXO #COO #CRO #CBO #Owner #ManagingDirector #VC #AgentInvestor #FamilyOffice #VP #AVP

When Value Leads, Sales Follow 🚀 This Sunday, I conducted my “Art of Selling” Workshop with 58 enthusiastic participants, and one powerful realization stood out again: People don’t buy because of pressure. They buy because they feel understood, inspired, and connected. Traditionally, workshops follow this order: 1️⃣ Create value 2️⃣ Give the sales pitch 3️⃣ Push the CTA But this time, we focused on something deeper — building trust before selling. We started with real conversations, practical sales experiences, and mindset shifts that help professionals: ✔️ Build confidence in client conversations ✔️ Understand customer psychology ✔️ Create value before pitching ✔️ Improve communication and closing skills ✔️ Shift from “selling a product” to “solving a problem” The best part? Participants stayed engaged till the end without any pressure tactics, fear-based selling, or forced urgency. One thing I strongly believe: If your intention is genuine and your value is strong, sales become a natural outcome. A big thank you to all 58 participants for your energy, interaction, and trust. Your response made this workshop truly memorable. The journey of learning and growth continues. Looking forward to helping many more professionals master the art of ethical and impactful selling.

No motivational theatrics. No unnecessary energy. Just serious, thoughtful conversations around one thing: “𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙩𝙝�� 𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙡 𝙨𝙖𝙡𝙚𝙨 𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙚𝙣𝙜𝙚𝙨 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙛𝙖𝙘𝙞𝙣𝙜?” The participants came from banking, insurance, DTH, and internet services. Different industries. Different products. Different contexts. Yet many of their struggles were surprisingly similar. Pipeline issues. Poor conversions. Inconsistent accountability. Limited coaching. Performance gaps. We captured these challenges right at the beginning. Then the entire workshop was customized on the spot. Every concept, tool, and discussion was built around solving the problems they had brought into the room. Slow-paced. Practical. Highly relevant. By the end of Day 2, something had changed. The challenges that felt heavy at the start no longer seemed overwhelming. There was greater clarity. Greater confidence. And a genuine sense of relief. That laughter you see in the video is not just excitement. It is the sound of people realizing: “𝗠𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘁𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗺𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘀𝗼𝗹𝘃𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲.” And that is what meaningful learning should do. Not entertain people for two days.

Most aspiring coaches believe coaching is learned through models, frameworks, and powerful questions. At Coach4Excellence, we teach it differently. We help coaches see their own coaching — through structured learner worksheets that guide them to reflect on action, inquire into action, induce and deduce insights, test feasibility, refine their choices, and internalise new behaviours. This article on "The ART of Asking Customized Questions" explores one of the most important distinctions in coaching: Good Questions vs Right Questions — and how our reflective tools help coaches cross that threshold. If you’re curious about how we build attuned, generative practitioners, this one is worth your time. #Coach4Excellence #ReflectivePractice #GenerativeCoaching #CoachingMastery #GoodVsRightQuestion #InvestInYourselfWisely International Coaching Federation The Bengaluru Charter Chapter of ICF The Chennai Chapter of ICF ICF Hyderabad Charter Chapter ICF Pune Charter Chapter The Mumbai Charter Chapter of ICF The Delhi NCR Chapter of ICF Kolkata Chapter of ICF Global Members Dr. Arun Mani Dr. Amitabh Kumar, ICF-PCC, EMCC-SP, Hogan Certified Dr. Vishwanand Pattar Dr.Saravanavasan KS Sriram Ranganathan Dr. Vijay Krishnamurthy Arijit Mitra
