If you've been coaching for a while, chances are you've already got a client onboarding process and a welcome packet that works. But "works" and "is doing everything it could be doing" aren't always the same thing.
In this episode, I'm getting specific about one piece of your business that most practitioners treat as administrative busywork: your client onboarding process. We talk about why a strong welcome packet does so much more than relay logistics — it builds trust before your first session, reduces a new client's anxiety, and can even begin the transformation process before you've met. I also share why client retention, renewals, and referrals so often come down to the quality of this exact container, not your marketing.
I'm sharing 6 often-overlooked components I recommend every coach include in their welcome packet or client onboarding documents — the kind of details that even experienced practitioners tend to miss. You'll learn what to include around scheduling, communication expectations, and a few reflection-based questions that help your clients start doing the work before session one even begins.
If you've ever wondered why some clients renew and refer enthusiastically while others disappear after a few sessions, this episode will give you a new lens on where to look first.
In this episode, you'll learn:
Why your client onboarding process directly impacts trust, safety, and the success of your coaching relationship
The real reason strong onboarding leads to better client retention, renewals, and referrals
6 details most welcome packets are missing — even from seasoned practitioners
How a well-crafted questionnaire can begin client transformation before your first session
