🌟 Module 23: Direct-to-Business Sales Playbook

Corporate wellness & partnerships β€” clear scripts, repeatable systems, and fast paths to paid engagements.

⏱️ 60–90 minutes Difficulty: Intermediate
By the end of this module, you’ll have a full outreach system to land business clients: Chamber of Commerce tactics, workplace wellness offers, β€œgetting hired” packaging, and a step-by-step walkthrough from first message β†’ assessment β†’ paid contract.

2. Why It Matters

Businesses pay for outcomes: retention, productivity, reduced burnout, and culture. When you sell B2B, a few great clients can replace dozens of consumer sales β€” with steadier cash flow and larger contracts.

This playbook turns your coaching into a business solution. You’ll lead with value (free health assessments), convert interest into 1-on-1 sessions, then package ongoing support the owner can say yes to quickly.

3. Step-by-Step Guide

1

Pick Your Entry Path

Choose one path to start: Chamber Outreach, Workplace Wellness Offer, or Part-time Coach-for-Hire. Focus beats dabbling.

Start with Chamber: warm intros, a directory, and credibility on day one.
2

Build a 25-Business Prospect List

Use your Chamber directory + LinkedIn to find 10–200-employee companies (agencies, clinics, real estate, trades, finance, non-profits).

Track company, contact, email, LinkedIn, outreach date, and status in a simple Sheet.
3

Send Value-First Outreach (Copy/Paste)

Open with a no-cost Team Health Assessment that helps employees personally and gives the owner an anonymized snapshot.

Chamber script opener: β€œI’m a fellow member offering a free session for every employee β€” zero strings.”
4

Roll Out the Assessment

Share your branded Google Form, 5–7 day completion window, and employer-approved intro email. Offer to handle reminders.

Include an opt-in checkbox for employees to request a 15–20 min 1-on-1 review.
5

Deliver the Employer Snapshot

Send a short visual summary (trends, risks, 3 recommendations: free, moderate, full program). Position yourself as a partner, not a vendor.

Use simple charts (energy, stress, sleep) and 1–2 anonymized quotes.
6

Host 1-on-1 Reviews & Convert

Give each employee 2–3 actionable tips, then offer support: monthly, 90-day, or premium plan. Invite employer co-sponsorship.

Close softly: β€œIf you want help making this real in 12 weeks, want me in your corner?”
7

Propose Ongoing Support

Offer 3 tiers (Light/Standard/Premium) with hours/week, deliverables, and reporting. Make renewal the default at 90 days.

Add a results email every 30 days to keep leadership bought in.

5. Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Pitching β€œhealth” only. Instead of features, tie to retention, productivity, burnout reduction.
  • Asking the owner to do rollout. Do it for them: write the email, provide the link, schedule reminders.
  • One-and-done workshops. Offer a 90-day plan with check-ins and reporting.
  • Long assessments. Keep it 5–10 questions; add an optional deep-dive later.
  • No follow-up rhythm. Use a 3-touch sequence: Day 0, Day 3, Day 7 with a new angle each time.

6. Quick Win Highlight
