[Part 2 of 3] Why most coaches struggle to sell

Most coaches don’t have a sales problem.

They have a sales system problem.

I had a client who was struggling to sell her program—despite having a great offer and an engaged audience.

She was showing up.
Posting valuable content.
Talking about her offer.

But sales? Inconsistent. Unpredictable. Hit or miss.

Here’s why:

  • She didn’t have a system that moved people through the buying process.
  • She thought selling was just “making an offer” instead of creating demand before selling.

And she’s not alone.

Right now, we’re in a trust recession.

People are taking longer to decide.

They want to make sure they’re making the right choice for themselves and their families.

That’s why a predictable and repeatable sales system matters more than ever.

A high-converting sales system has three key parts:

📩 The Warm-Up Phase – This phase doesn’t sell the offer—it builds demand for what you teach. It positions you as the one who can help them and your solution as the best path forward, so that when the offer is presented, they already see it as the logical next step.

🎤 The Sales System – Selling isn’t about pushing harder—it’s about removing resistance. Your sales system needs to address why what they’ve tried hasn’t worked, show them a better way, and help them see that your offer is the best solution for them.

🎯 The Right People, At The Right Volume – More people doesn’t mean more sales—you already know what it’s like to have people in your audience who love your content but never buy. The key is having enough of the right people who are primed, problem-aware, and ready to take action.

Without all three, selling will always feel harder than it needs to be.

Maybe that’s what you’ve been experiencing.

If sales have felt unpredictable, inconsistent, or like way too much effort—this is why.

And here’s what most don’t realize…

A major reason most coaches don’t make enough money?

They don’t make enough offers.

And they don’t make enough offers because they don’t have a system that sells for them.

​Stop selling and instead lead people to buy

Hey! Ever wonder what it takes to authentically lead people to buy? What if it meant you could stop selling? Well at least in the traditional sense. It’s time to think differently. It’s time to be a leader. It’s not about “closing” the sale in a salesy way, it’s...
