✅ The optimum length for effective discovery calls (there's a sweet spot!). 

✅ How to build trust and rapport by providing value during discovery calls (without feeling like you've given too much away). 

✅ Why having potential clients articulate the value of coaching is important (and how this directly increases conversions). 

✅ All about PAID discovery calls, and whether these might be the right next step in your business.

If you’ve ever felt thrown off when a client wants to talk about something other than what you thought the session was about—this episode is for you.

You’ll learn:
✅ Why responsive coaching = better client results = more referrals
✅ How narrow niching too early can limit your business
✅ The hidden cost of over-certifying
✅ 5 ways to build coaching confidence without investing another $10k
