Coaches Use Technology to Differentiate from Others in a Competitive Field

As a way of differentiating their services from the crowd, coaches are now offering their clients a way to get immediate access to them, a small and inexpensive touch that can make a big difference in a business where image matters. 404-CoachUs is a conference call number can be purchased for a low, flat rate that the coach can then make unlimited conference calls through and offer a pin number to their client to obtain access to. This will expedite a meeting or a conference call that is needed on the spur of the moment.

Simple2Communicate, an Atlanta-area telecommunications company, developed 404-CoachUs as a way for business coaches and life coaches to increase their availability and productivity without constantly traveling by using the teleconference system. By offering 404 teleconferencing lines to coaches, Simple2Communicate can give them unlimited flat rates with audio or video teleconferencing capabilities that will increase their accessibility in a cost-efficient way.

The coaching industry has exploded over the last 5 years with Life Coaching and Business Coaching skyrocketing from obscurity to mainstream in a very short time. Today you don’t have to be a superstar to use a coach. Thousands of ordinary people are enjoying the benefits of having someone be a champion of their efforts, hold them accountable, and motivate them to be their best, in any area of life. As the field has grown, the competition has gotten stiffer as well. There are literally hundreds of coaches in the Atlanta metro area alone, with new ones popping up every week.

Constantly traveling will cause any company’s expenditures to skyrocket. And a small one or two person business is even more sensitive to keeping travel costs in check. Traveling also causes a life or business coach to spend time battling traffic instead of working one-on-one with their clients or prospecting for new clients. Most coaches do not charge for their travel time, thus this is just lost time on their end. Meaning they have to work longer hours and spend less time with their families, which any good life coach knows, is not a good work life balance.

According to Sanders McConnell, President of Simple2Communicate, “For life and business coaches, being readily seen or heard is a professional necessity. We can provide them with a lightening-fast method of delivering their services through 404-CoachUs and a way to present themselves better.”

For the upper echelon of coaches who are interested in an even more interactive way to communicate with clients, video conferencing is an emerging trend that offers a way to do just that for a surprisingly low price. For more information visit http://simple2communicate.com.
