Chapter Goals:

• Explore and describe the most common forms of nutrition coaching.
• Be able to discuss how to write a nutrition coaching business plan.
• List the methods used to build clientele.
• Be able to discuss the importance of getting client referrals. 

Introduction

Nutrition Coaches may work as independent contractors for a fitness facility, they can work directly for the gym, or they can work independently and have their own client base.

Oftentimes nutrition coaches will work as employees in companies and organizations. 

Coaches who work independently will be nutrition coaches and small business owners. 

Freelance nutrition coaches work for themselves with their clients and must develop a business plan, market their services, and find their clients.

Style of Nutrition Coaching

The first step in starting an independent coaching business is determining the coaching style it offers and the targeted clients.

Coaches need to know the scope of practice for certified nutrition professionals. Nutrition coaches are not allowed to offer medical advice or diagnose conditions. 

In-person Coaching

Nutrition coaching is flexible and can take on many different forms. 

In-Person coaching is possibly an option for health clubs, private fitness facilities, or at home. 

The disadvantage of in-person coaching is that the method requires more logical planning. So that both the client and coach can meet at agreed times and places.

Group Coaching

Solo sessions with clients allow for a good foundation, but groups and community services for nutrition also have a place in the coaching business.

Group sessions do not give much time for individual meal planning, but question and answer sessions can give value to the clients. A group session may be ideal for you to meet and network with even more clients.

The major benefits of group coaching are things like support and accountability. Open communication in groups allows for the encouragement of mutual support from those in the group.

Virtual Coaching

Online and virtual coaching services are rapidly gaining popularity with coaches and clients.

Nutrition coaches allow you to reach clients globally using websites, nutrition apps, and social media platforms.

This also allows for a potentially larger client base.

Corporate Wellness Coaching

Corporate wellness is increasingly popular with employers. 

Health care is always rising in costs, and employers always wish to reduce their healthcare premiums, and the use of nutrition coaches in these settings can be quite beneficial. 

Writing a Business Plan

Planning is a vital part of the process of creating a small business. 

Planning includes learning about the competition, the available market, and the accessible funding for the business.

Business plans will outline new businesses’ structure, marketing, and growth.

The Small Business Administration, or the SBA, is an organization that is available to all small business owners and anyone interested in starting a business.

The SBA gives resources like consultants and business loans.

There are two types of business plans, according to the SBA.

Traditional Business Plan

The traditional format is ideal for detail-oriented people looking for a comprehensive overview and plan for a new business.

The elements of this traditional business plan are:

• An executive summary of the what and the why of the business. 
• A detailed company description and market analysis should be part of this plan and it will explain the market for the business and give an in-depth look at the local competition.
• The business plan will describe the type of organization.
• A comprehensive description of services offered should be put in here, too, along with an estimate for the customer life cycle.
• Marketing should be a part of this business plan.
• A traditional business plan should be used to get funding, so it needs to have financial projections and requests made for funding.

Lean Business Plan

This will include most of the same information from the traditional business plan but with a lot less detail.

The owner and any other employees mainly use this type of plan to organize the structure, finances, and plans for future growth. 

Lan formats are ideal for smaller businesses starting up fast and offering only a few services.

This is essential for bringing awareness and bringing in new clients for a business.

You need to look at your target market to market to them most effectively. You should make use of online analytics and the conduction of surveys for customers. Social media is a growing tool for this, also.

Business messaging is key for consistent marketing and branding. For creating business messages, you first determine the audience and then find how the business will put its marketing efforts in and remain consistent. 

Social media and online presence for companies are proving to be the hallmark of modern marketing today. 

Researching competitors is important so you can use the most effective tools to enhance your business, and what better way than by looking at other successful similar businesses?

A SWOT analysis examines strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats.

Building a Client List

Coaches must work to develop some long term relationships with clients and work on adding in new clients at the same time. 

Determining the Need

Every possible client will have a goal or problem they wish to solve. Possible nutrition clients might have weight loss goals or need help becoming more consistent with an effective diet.

A superficial need is often a quick response that a person gives when asked why they are interested in working with a nutrition coach. So, you have to be prepared for that and also prepared to ask questions to help them expand on those superficial answers.

Filling the Need

It is possible to offer solutions to the client’s spoken needs directly. The new client must understand how it helps them meet their goals before committing to buying into your services.

Another thing to consider is that clients may have their needs and goals change throughout the time they are with you. So, it is important to maintain this good relationship with the clients to understand how their ideas change in the relationship.

Ask the right questions to the clients, and you will get the proper information from them.

Asking Questions and Taking Notes

When a potential client is considering buying into your services provided, you should address any of their concerns or barriers that may be stopping them from fully committing or signing up.

The coach needs to find the client’s hesitations and make them worry less about them. This is vital for signing new clients.

Talking about concerns in advance can be beneficial to reduce the likelihood that the client changes their mind later.

Close the Sale

A nutrition coach has a lot of work ahead in the way of uncovering the motivations and barriers that a possible client has. 

When asking for the sale, you should try using a few specific things:

• The possible client’s reason for wanting their change
• Some things they failed to do in the past
• The current goals they want to achieve
• What they feel they may have failed in trying in the past
• When they have felt most successful
• The services offered that would fit them the best

Closing doesn’t have to be super scary. It will likely go well if you ask good questions and act confident.

Client Referrals

A referral is vital for building up your clientele. 

When current and previous clients refer others for their services, it means that they trust the coach and value the service they received. 

Referrals may sometimes even come from someone who hasn’t been a client but knows what their friend is saying about the coach.

Promoters vs. Detractors

Both coaches and small business owners will find two types of people: promoters and detractors.

Promoters are the ones that had a good experience, and they are likely to refer services to another person.

Detractors are unsatisfied people that will do the exact opposite. 

It is a good idea to conduct surveys of current, past, and potential clients to see how your actions are perceived.

Positive Shareable Marketing Material

Using positive client reviews, with permission, is a great way to prove the value of services to new people looking in.

Marketing materials and posts with client testimonials should be positive, informative, colorful, and engaging for people to read.

When to ask for referrals

Any time may be a good time to ask for referrals, but people are most excited when they have seen results and experienced something positive. 

Coaches should try to leverage these exciting times into requesting referrals to new clients.

Common Business Mistakes to Avoid

Coaching clients is very different from handling a business. They both require different types of skills, but both skill sets will lead to a successful business in general.

Some common mistakes that are seen are things like:

• Failing to track client information
• Assuming everything needs to be done virtually. 
• Assuming all clients have adequate skills in technology
• Failing to check in with your clients
• Not asking the right questions during the customer life cycle
• Not targeting a specific demographic
• Failing to stay organized
• Failing to maintain professional boundaries
• Overwhelming the client with far too much information

Creating A Business Plan

About the course.

Gary Augustine Warren BS, ISSA-CFT, NSCA-CPT sweatisfree.com

Beginning as a staff personal trainer in 1997, Gary evolved into an independent contract trainer and eventually a wellness-focused business owner. Coming from a sports and fitness training background, he was introduced into the fitness competition scene in 2003. Shortly after, he became involved in fitness and sports event promotions and project management. In 2006, he co-founded and acts as CEO for the fitness-sports and wellness production company, Fitness and Sports Network, LLC (FAS-NET). With the company's initial production beginning as a fitness competition endeavor, it evolved into a business development service for the fitness, sports, and wellness professionals known as, "FMI Guild".

The FMI Guild's focus is to equip and qualify members for multiple business and/or employment options. Gary serves as the executive director for the FMI Guild production. Gary had the honor of beginning his career as a instructor and trainer working in 3 collegiate wellness/sports settings, (California State University-Long Beach, UCLA, and the University of Oklahoma). From there, he moved into the private sector and continues to operate between the Oklahoma City and Los Angeles metros . Gary is also a certified fitness instructor and personal trainer through ISSA and NSCA, in addition to earning a Bachelor's degree in Health and Sports Science from the University of Oklahoma.

A business plan is a written plan detailing a business' entire, "body of work" or operations. When done correctly, it contains components such as its business legal structure, current assets, future earnings projections, the target market(s), weaknesses and strengths, its existence for commerce, amongst other things. Creating a business plan can be a daunting task. This workshop will break down business plan writing into 10 criterion points. In addition, tools that can assist in writing and monitoring the plan will be listed and discussed.

What is a business plan? Definition, Purpose, and Types

In the world of business, a well-thought-out plan is often the key to success. This plan, known as a business plan, is a comprehensive document that outlines a company’s goals, strategies , and financial projections. Whether you’re starting a new business or looking to expand an existing one, a business plan is an essential tool.

As a business plan writer and consultant , I’ve crafted over 15,000 plans for a diverse range of businesses. In this article, I’ll be sharing my wealth of experience about what a business plan is, its purpose, and the step-by-step process of creating one. By the end, you’ll have a thorough understanding of how to develop a robust business plan that can drive your business to success.

What is a business plan?

A business plan is a roadmap for your business. It outlines your goals, strategies, and how you plan to achieve them. It’s a living document that you can update as your business grows and changes.

Purposes of a Business Plan

These are the following purpose of business plan:

• Attract investors and lenders: If you’re seeking funding for your business , a business plan is a must-have. Investors and lenders want to see that you have a clear plan for how you’ll use their money to grow your business and generate revenue.
• Get organized and stay on track: Writing a business plan forces you to think through all aspects of your business, from your target market to your marketing strategy. This can help you identify any potential challenges and opportunities early on, so you can develop a plan to address them.
• Make better decisions: A business plan can help you make better decisions about your business by providing you with a framework to evaluate different options. For example, if you’re considering launching a new product, your business plan can help you assess the potential market demand, costs, and profitability.

What are the essential components of a business plan?

Executive summary

The executive summary is the most important part of your business plan, even though it’s the last one you’ll write. It’s the first section that potential investors or lenders will read, and it may be the only one they read. The executive summary sets the stage for the rest of the document by introducing your company’s mission or vision statement, value proposition, and long-term goals.

Business description or overview

The business description section of your business plan should introduce your business to the reader in a compelling and concise way. It should include your business name, years in operation, key offerings, positioning statement, and core values (if applicable). You may also want to include a short history of your company.

Product and price

In this section, the company should describe its products or services , including pricing, product lifespan, and unique benefits to the consumer. Other relevant information could include production and manufacturing processes, patents, and proprietary technology.

Competitive analysis

Every industry has competitors, even if your business is the first of its kind or has the majority of the market share. In the competitive analysis section of your business plan, you’ll objectively assess the industry landscape to understand your business’s competitive position. A SWOT analysis is a structured way to organize this section.

Target market

Your target market section explains the core customers of your business and why they are your ideal customers. It should include demographic, psychographic, behavioral, and geographic information about your target market.

Marketing plan

Marketing plan describes how the company will attract and retain customers, including any planned advertising and marketing campaigns . It also describes how the company will distribute its products or services to consumers.

After outlining your goals, validating your business opportunity, and assessing the industry landscape, the team section of your business plan identifies who will be responsible for achieving your goals. Even if you don’t have your full team in place yet, investors will be impressed by your clear understanding of the roles that need to be filled.

Financial plan

In the financial plan section,established businesses should provide financial statements , balance sheets , and other financial data. New businesses should provide financial targets and estimates for the first few years, and may also request funding.

Funding requirements

Since one goal of a business plan is to secure funding from investors , you should include the amount of funding you need, why you need it, and how long you need it for.

• Tip: Use bullet points and numbered lists to make your plan easy to read and scannable.

Types of business plan.

Business plans can come in many different formats, but they are often divided into two main types: traditional and lean startup. The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) says that the traditional business plan is the more common of the two.

Lean startup business plans

Lean startup business plans are short (as short as one page) and focus on the most important elements. They are easy to create, but companies may need to provide more information if requested by investors or lenders.

Traditional business plans

Traditional business plans are longer and more detailed than lean startup business plans, which makes them more time-consuming to create but more persuasive to potential investors. Lean startup business plans are shorter and less detailed, but companies should be prepared to provide more information if requested.

How often should a business plan be reviewed and revised?

A business plan should be reviewed and revised at least annually, or more often if the business is experiencing significant changes. This is because the business landscape is constantly changing, and your business plan needs to reflect those changes in order to remain relevant and effective.

Here are some specific situations in which you should review and revise your business plan:

• You have launched a new product or service line.
• You have entered a new market.
• You have experienced significant changes in your customer base or competitive landscape.
• You have made changes to your management team or organizational structure.
• You have raised new funding.

What are the key elements of a lean startup business plan?

A lean startup business plan is a short and simple way for a company to explain its business, especially if it is new and does not have a lot of information yet. It can include sections on the company’s value proposition, major activities and advantages, resources, partnerships, customer segments, and revenue sources.

What are some of the reasons why business plans don't succeed?

• Unrealistic assumptions: Business plans are often based on assumptions about the market, the competition, and the company’s own capabilities. If these assumptions are unrealistic, the plan is doomed to fail.
• Lack of focus: A good business plan should be focused on a specific goal and how the company will achieve it. If the plan is too broad or tries to do too much, it is unlikely to be successful.
• Poor execution: Even the best business plan is useless if it is not executed properly. This means having the right team in place, the necessary resources, and the ability to adapt to changing circumstances.
• Unforeseen challenges:  Every business faces challenges that could not be predicted or planned for. These challenges can be anything from a natural disaster to a new competitor to a change in government regulations.

What are the benefits of having a business plan?

• It helps you to clarify your business goals and strategies.
• It can help you to attract investors and lenders.
• It can serve as a roadmap for your business as it grows and changes.
• It can help you to make better business decisions.

How to write a business plan?

There are many different ways to write a business plan, but most follow the same basic structure. Here is a step-by-step guide:

• Executive summary.
• Company description.
• Management and organization description.
• Financial projections.

How to write a business plan step by step?

Start with an executive summary, then describe your business, analyze the market, outline your products or services, detail your marketing and sales strategies, introduce your team, and provide financial projections.

Why do I need a business plan for my startup?

A business plan helps define your startup’s direction, attract investors, secure funding, and make informed decisions crucial for success.

What are the key components of a business plan?

Key components include an executive summary, business description, market analysis, products or services, marketing and sales strategy, management and team, financial projections, and funding requirements.

Can a business plan help secure funding for my business?

Yes, a well-crafted business plan demonstrates your business’s viability, the use of investment, and potential returns, making it a valuable tool for attracting investors and lenders.
