Transformational Content Marketing for Coaches and Consultants

Challenges in the Coaching/Consultants Industry

At Breezy, we work with a wide variety of individual coaches and consultants — from executive coaches to leadership development consultants to communication coaches and business consultants. Despite the diversity in the specialties of the solopreneurs and small businesses that we work with, we have identified several common pain points they encounter when trying to grow their online presence with content marketing.

The Consistency Struggle

Every coach or consultant we work with understands the importance of maintaining a regular distribution of content across social media, their blog, YouTube channel, and more, but lacks the time and resources to consistently generate and share that content.

Audience Engagement is Tough

Building and maintaining an active and engaged audience requires continuous effort and interaction. Many coaches and consultants find it challenging to keep their audience consistently engaged.

Trying to Differentiate in a Crowded Market

Standing out in a crowded market with unique and compelling content that reflects their personal brand identity is a common challenge. Many struggle to find their unique voice and differentiate themselves from others.

Understanding Platform Algorithms

Navigating and adapting to the constantly changing algorithms of different social media platforms can be overwhelming. Coaches and consultants often find it difficult to keep up with these changes and optimize their content accordingly.

Building Credibility and Trust

Establishing oneself as a credible and trustworthy expert in the field is crucial, yet challenging. Many find it hard to showcase their expertise and build trust with their audience through online media (i.e. social media, blogs, lead generation content, etc)

Making Time for Social Media

Balancing social media activities with other professional responsibilities is a common pain point. Coaches and consultants often have to juggle multiple tasks, making it hard to dedicate enough time to social media.

Budget Constraints

Limited resources for investing in paid promotions, professional content creation, or social media management tools is a frequent issue. It can be hard to allocate sufficient budget for effective social media marketing.

Adapting to Trends

Keeping up with and adapting to the latest social media trends and best practices is essential but challenging. It’s a struggle to stay current and incorporate new trends into a strategy.

Measuring Success

Effectively tracking and analyzing social media metrics to measure the impact and ROI of efforts can be complex. Many coaches and consultants find it hard to determine the success of their social media strategies.

Maintaining Authenticity

Ensuring that content remains authentic and genuinely represents their personal brand values and voice is crucial. Anyone can have AI spit out tons of content, but these days, authenticity is what will capture an audience’s attention, and consultants and coaches rarely have the time to commit to creating authentic content.

While these challenges exist for all of our coaching and consulting clients, they can be overcome. Consistently, we’ve seen great results from implementing a strong content strategy tailored to these concerns and struggles.

The Great Results

We’ve helped many coaches and consultants achieve these incredible results.

Let’s explore this case study of 3 different coaching and consulting clients to see how such remarkable growth is possible.

Client Profiles

40 Watt Coaching

Who they are:

40 Watt Coaching is a leading firm specializing in executive coaching, communication consulting, and training content design. Founded in 2021, the firm partners with a diverse clientele, including Fortune 500 CEOs, non-profit leaders, startup founders, and frontline managers, to enhance leadership and communication skills. Their client-centric approach emphasizes trust, honesty, and leveraging strengths to achieve personal and professional goals.

Goals

When Tim, the owner and leader of 40 Watt, originally came to us, he shared a few pain points and goals he was hoping to achieve with content marketing.

His primary means of client acquisition had always been word of mouth and referrals. While his business was still doing well, he wanted to get ahead of the lead source possibly drying up in the future.
Additionally, he wanted to expand his ability to bring in leads by actually having an online presence which he had almost none at the time.
He also wanted to be seen as a go-to source and credible place in the communication coaching community to be able to help more founders, leaders, and executives not only with communication but their professional development. He recognized that in order to do this, he would need to build up an online presence.

Goals

When Brian Lang, Founder and face of Upside CFO, came to us, the company had never made a significant investment in marketing before. He was ready to begin that process and wanted to start by developing a better presence online through social media. Initially, it was just about actually building brand awareness as they didn’t have much.
Additionally, we decided to focus just as much on building Brian’s personal brand as the company’s. He is the face of the brand, has a great personality, and already had a decent network. We decided to leverage those things with great content with the goal of building him up as a thought leader in the industry. We have focused a lot on his personal brand and LinkedIn presence. The metrics below are of his personal LinkedIn page.

Our Strategic Approach

At Breezy, our approach to content marketing is comprised of 3 key markers for the energy industry:

Story-driven

Thought-leadership-centric

Non-sales, value-intended

What This Looks Like

Story-driven

Using the StoryBrand framework, we position the client as the hero of their journey, with our company acting as the guide. This approach ensures that our content marketing strategies focus on helping clients solve their problems and improve their lives or businesses. Every piece of content is designed to support this narrative, making it relatable and impactful.

Thought-leadership-centric

We deeply value the subject-matter expertise that our clients bring to the table. While we immerse ourselves in understanding their industry, our primary goal is to showcase the incredible knowledge and experience our clients possess. The content we create highlights their insights and expertise, presenting them as authentic thought leaders in their field. This not only builds credibility but also effectively drives business growth.

Non-sales, value-intended

Our content strategies prioritize providing value over direct sales pitches. Although we include strong calls to action, sales-focused content is limited to 1-2 times per month. Instead, we consistently deliver valuable information to build trust and foster long-term relationships with the audience. This approach not only drives immediate engagement but also nurtures customer loyalty, turning clients into brand advocates, which is especially crucial for high-cost offerings.

This methodology was customized for each client, tailored to their specific goals and industry nuances. The results were outstanding, demonstrating the effectiveness of combining our proven approach with personalized elements for each account.
