Wendy has successfully used a variety of methods to help build trust and rapport with potential clients, as well as to firmly establish her expertise as a coach in the areas of career change, time management and self-confidence.

During the call Wendy talks about her strategy of using free reports and ebooks to give away in return for building a list of names and email addresses of potential coaching clients.

This has led to her current project, the launch of her first ever published book, called "Discover Yourself On The Yellow Brick Road – 7 Core Principles of Career Success".

Interestingly, Wendy is employing cutting-edge tactics to help ensure her book on its launch day has the best chance of going straight into the Amazon Top 100 sellers list. Wendy reveals the details of some of the best ways you can effectively motivate people to buy your product within a short period of time and create maximum publicity and impact for your launch.

Wendy is also making great use of the free social media tools available to any coach or business owner who would like to promote their product or service. These social media (or web 2.0) tools, include Facebook, Twitter and the use of blogging – and the impact they can have on the success of your business is considerable.

My thanks to social media expert Dwayne Kerr for revealing the one strategy any coach can employ to grow their business and get more clients by using the power of online social networking.

Let's be honest, being social has always been and will surely always be the most important way to 'get ahead', whatever that means for you. If you want to discover new opportunities in your business or personal life, then getting out and meeting people, everywhere and anywhere, is going to give you the best opportunities to meet new friends, business contacts, or achieve most anything else you might want to do.

Since becoming a member of a Business Mastermind Group my circle of contacts has increased rapidly and this has created opportunities for me in every direction. Opportunities that I would never have known about otherwise at all. Ever. And how did I get the chance to join this Mastermind Group? Through being social, of course, by attending a seminar back in October 2008.

This shouldn't be news to anybody reading this, of course. If you're a coach or you help people by providing therapy or other treatments then human contact is the essence of what you do. I bet you get more enquiries theat lead to new clients or patients through your immediate network of contacts, either people you know or who are referred to you by others, than any other means.

In 2008, however, being social on the internet has really hit the mainstream. Even the LA Fire Dept has started using Twitter to communicate news with the world. Maybe you have a Facebook account already? If so then congratulations, you're already being social.

If not, then perhaps its time to start making new friends and contacts the social media way? I've been scratching the surface using Twitter and I'm already amazed at its potential for opening new and very personal channels of communication with people online. In short, being social is one of the most powerful ways for expanding your circle of contacts and making new friends.
