Having the right coaching package ready can be the only difference between “I’ll think about it” and “Where do I

THAT RUNS Package
Matters YOUR COACHING BUSINESS
If you’re working as a coach, that means you’re a service provider. You’re not just working with clients but also
managing a business, usually as a solopreneur. Now, if you want to spend less time getting clients and more time
working with those clients, you need to make what you offer crystal clear.
Think about it this way: has anyone ever told you they’re an expert at everything and made you reach for your
credit card? Probably not.
But when someone tells you they specialize in something you happen to be looking for, when they show you a
tailor-made plan, it almost feels like a God-given synchronicity.
Except that it isn’t. It’s a well-designed package.
Your life coaching package should create the necessary restrictions to make the buying decision easier and show
your clients what makes you unique. It should also set expectations for what it’s like to be working with you.
Your rates should reflect the expertise and perspective you worked hard to earn throughout your career and the
work you put into the coaching relationship (not just in your sessions).
If you charge by the hour, your clients might try a session or two to “see how it goes,” but they won’t commit to
their transformation. Unless you lay out in front of them where their coaching journey begins and ends. And that’s
exactly what a structured life coaching package can do.

Understanding Your Target Audience

Before diving into the know-how of crafting packages, we need to have a word about Your Target Audience.
Creating services will be like shooting in the dark without understanding who you’re selling to. Take the time to
define your target audience, what makes them tick, and the hurdles they face.
It’s not just about demographics; it’s about understanding their pain points and aspirations. This insight will guide
you as you define the goals of your packages, the materials you want to develop for them, and the methods that
will resonate with your clients.
It’s the difference between offering generic advice and delivering a personalized roadmap to success.
As coaches, we love powerful questions. So here are a few guiding questions you can use to define your target
audience:
What is the age range of the clients I want to coach?
What industries or professions are they likely to be a part of? changing" - Matt M

What to Include in a Coaching Package

There are four key elements of a well-structured life coaching package:
Duration
Outcome
Format
Price
Paperbell lets you completely customize your packages with all of these elements in mind so that you can run
your coaching practice by your own design.
Let’s look at how each of these four pillars is reflected in a coaching package.

How To Create Your Own Life Coaching Package

1. Define the Duration of Your Life Coaching Package
The simplest way to turn individual coaching sessions into a package is to offer a series of sessions within a given
timeframe.
If you have a set timeline for your collaboration, it’s also easier to define clear objectives with your client for that

Most coaches define a minimum timeframe for a coaching relationship and offer a lower required.
rate for a long-term
commitment. For example, if your one-month package has 4 sessions for $1,000, you can offer a three-month
coaching package with 12 sessions for $2,500.
2. Describe the Outcome You Offer

The more specific your

the more likelyBUSINESS
it will connect with the right audience. This is why addressing your
niche is super key.
A ‘4-Week Program To Build A Thriving Love Relationship’ has a clear value proposition, unlike a general ‘Change
Your Life Coaching Program.’
Even if you’re a coach specializing in multiple niches, you need to make each life coaching package specific to its
focus. This way, you’ll specify the results your coaching client will get.
You might think, “But I’m a holistic coach, why should I limit myself?” If you have to choose between a jack of all
trades and a specialist in an area you’re struggling with, you’ll probably turn to the specialist. Plus, holistic
outcomes can also be defined specifically, for example:
Achieving a greater balance between work, love, and play

Feeling more grounded and confident
Developing greater self-awareness and making more conscious life choices
That’s why building various coaching packages is a brilliant tool to emphasize the outcome you’re creating with
each of them for your clients.
If you design your packages in Paperbell, you can automatically generate simple landing pages. It’s like a menu
your clients can choose from, knowing what each delivers.
Check out this Paperbell shop example to see how packages would look in Paperbell.
3. Design the Format of Your Life Coaching Package

It’s not just the content of your coaching sessions that makes them so powerful but the format or framework you
follow too.
Do you offer 1-on-1 sessions, group coaching, or a mix of both?
Will they be a part of a community or work only with you?
Are there materials or a self-study course you offer access to?
Can your clients reach you between the sessions for chat support, accountability, or crisis management?
These are important questions to answer so you can decide how much value my clients

Defining the format of your coaching package and what it includes sets the right expectations upfront for your
client while also setting the necessary boundaries for you.
4. Price Your Life Coaching Packages

There’s a reason whyYOUR
we left COACHING
this step last. It’s difficult to price a package unless you’re clear on what it includes
BUSINESS
and the value it offers to your client. Now that you have a breakdown of your life coaching package, you can
roughly estimate a price for the individual elements (each session, the value of any materials shared, and so on)
and add them together.
The idea is that you break down the overall value of your package and offer a generous discount, which is why
you’re creating a package in the first place. You’re maximizing the outcome of the collaboration and making it a
simple yes or no buying decision for your coachee.
The other way to approach pricing your life coaching packages is to look at similar packages in your niche and
compare prices. (Paperbell offers a free report with exactly that information!) Look at some coaches who work
with similar clients and offer the same format as you do. Then research their prices on their websites or simply
ask for a quotation.
In the life coaching industry, your prices largely depend on your expertise, previous clientele, and media
presence. You are the biggest asset in your business, and with time, growing your personal brand as a coach can
create more demand for your services. Consequently, a higher interest in your services will increase your ability
to charge higher rates.

When Should I Raise the Prices of My Life Coaching Packages?

Generally, it’s a great idea to raise your prices when your schedule is close to being fully booked. In other words,
you’re reaching maximum capacity to work with clients in a given month or year.
If you don’t have as many bookings as you would want to, it might be a better time to work on improving your offer
and marketing initiatives first. This might mean looking for ways to give your clients more value or developing a
more persuasive marketing strategy.
An alternative to raising your rates is to develop new products or packages. This way, you can create a new
revenue stream or open up a new market niche without overcharging your clients.

Package Name
Give a catchy name to your package that describes the outcome it brings to your clients. In the context of your
other packages, this might describe the duration of the coaching relationship or the niche it focuses on.
For example, you can offer a ‘Foundations of a Thriving Relationship’ package for first-time clients and an
‘Emotional Mastery Bootcamp’ for those who want to dive deeper.

problems your client will most likely be facing right now and how your package is a solution. Explain the process
you follow and the outcome they will get once their coaching journey is complete.
For example, you may describe your package this way.

YOURjourney
This is an 8-week coaching COACHING BUSINESS
where you’ll go from financial stress and limitations to creating abundance in
your life and mastering your money mindset. We’ll do this by identifying your limiting beliefs around money and
replacing them with more empowering thoughts, as well as proven methods to manage your finances with joy.
What It Includes
Now, you need to outline all the elements of your life coaching package. You can simply list them in bullet points.
Be as specific as you can!
Here’s an example:
6 X 90-minute online coaching calls

Vox support between sessions
Access to our invite-only community for peer support
Lifetime access to the Foundational Mindfulness Self-Study Course
Bonuses
Bonuses are elements of your coaching package that aren’t necessarily required for your clients to get from
where they are to their desired outcome, but they can provide additional value.
This might be an ebook, a group coaching call at the end of the coaching relationship, or a discount on your future
packages.
Pricing and Payment Methods "The ease of use for me and

Next, you have an option to create different package tiers. For example, you can offer different

How to Sell Your Life Coaching Packages

Once your irresistible life coaching package is ready, it’s time to put it in front of your potential clients. Here are 3
things you need to start selling your life coaching packages.

Here are 3 things you need to start selling your life coaching packages.
Branding Assets
A personal website is a great way to showcase who you are, what you do, and your expertise in your area. Gather
testimonials from your previous clients, or build anonymous case studies that prove the results you’ve achieved
with your packages. Perfect your bio with your story and professional experience, and list any publication you’ve
appeared in.
A video of you can go a long way in establishing a connection with your prospects and inspiring them to get in
touch with you.
Besides your website, you can also create a presentation deck of your packages where you go into more detail.
Some coaches prefer to only share their rates in their pitch deck or on an unlisted landing page they only share
with prospects. Others like to be transparent about their prices and list them publicly on their website.
It’s completely up to you which one you choose. Just make sure the value you offer is crystal clear in all your
branding assets.
Content
A great way to build your audience is to set up an email list for your prospects and share occasional content with
them. A free resource on your website can be a great incentive for your potential clients to sign up for your list.
Contrary to popular belief (and societal pressure), it’s not an absolute must to grow your social media following in
order to get clients. But sharing regular content about your work as a coach is a great way to create visibility for
your services.
Choose a social media channel where your target audience is most likely to hang out, and that best fits the type
of content you like to share. You can create a buzz for your business coaching clients on LinkedIn or share more
in-depth insights on Medium. If you coach Gen Z clients, you might want to hop on the TikTok train.
Outreach
A more targeted way to connect with ideal clients is to seek them out and pitch your services directly. Many
coaches source their prospects on LinkedIn, Facebook, or Instagram and sell their services to them via messages.
The other way to reach potential clients is through their email addresses. You may source their contact
information through referrals or their professional website.
changing" - Matt M
The more specifically you define who could benefit from your services, the easier you’ll find your ideal clients
without your emails and messages landing in the spam folder.
