Can Giving Free Consultation Build Your List – Doable 27
Free consultations are fantastic for getting to know the people that are going onto your list. You can book sessions for any length of time – anywhere from 15 minutes to 1 hour. I personally wouldn’t give away an hour session for free. I think 30 minutes is a reasonable amount of time. When you have a session with your potential client it helps to find out what their immediate goals are and how you can help them to achieve their goals.
You don’t want to give away too many free sessions as it can take up a lot of your time. If you are giving away a free eBook, you create it once and then it will continue to build your list on-goingly, whereas you need to show up yourself every time for a free session.
I think the free sessions work really well as a list building tool for a particular product or service that you offer that is higher in price. Where people might be a bit on the fence about whether they should do it – a conversation with you may be all they need to help them decide.
There are a few different systems you can use for people to be able to book sessions with you, and believe me, you want to make it as systemised as possible. The last thing you want to do is keep going back and forth with people to get a time that works for both of you.
I really like TimeTrade. With that system you put in all the times you have available and how long you want each session to be and then you just give people the link in your follow up email. They click on the link and go and book. It easily sorts things out if times need to change or if they cancel, without you having to take time rescheduling them.
The form for a free consultation probably wouldn’t go on your homepage but at the bottom of the page that you are offering your coaching program or other service on. In my publishing company I offer free consultations for people that are considering writing or publishing with us. The only page that it is on is the one that refers to the packages that we offer.
Another time I do give away free consultations is when I want to do some market research. It gives me direct access to know what people are dealing with in their business. I give away 5 free, half hour consultations.
