Learn how collaborating with complementary businesses or brands can tap into established communities, creating valuable connections and boosting your visibility.
- Introduction to Partnerships
- Definition: A partnership in coaching involves a collaborative relationship with businesses, organizations, or events that expands your reach by leveraging their audience and resources while providing mutual benefits.
- Identifying Potential Partners
- For endurance coaches: Consider local running stores, cycling shops, triathlon clubs, and event managers. Hosting events like a "Beginner's Running Clinic" can increase visibility for both your services and the partner’s products.
