🤝 Working With Organizations
🔍 Step 1: Understand Why Organizations Hire Contractors
Businesses, clinics, gyms, and nonprofits often need wellness experts—but they don't always want the overhead of hiring someone full-time. That’s where you come in as a health contractor. You get the benefits of partnership while maintaining your independence.
- Lower cost and risk for the company
- High-value and flexible support from you
- Ideal for project-based work, group sessions, or specialized programs
Key Insight:
Being a contractor allows you to work with multiple partners, grow your reputation, and keep your own client list active.
📋 Step 2: Identify the Right Types of Organizations
Not every business will be a fit. Focus on organizations where wellness or coaching services naturally add value:
- 🏢 Corporate HR & Wellness Teams
- 💪 Gyms & Fitness Studios
- 🩺 Functional Medicine or Chiropractic Clinics
- 🏫 Schools & Universities
- 💼 Local Nonprofits or Government Agencies
Start local. Then build upward through networks, referrals, or targeted outreach on platforms like LinkedIn.
🧠 Step 3: Prepare Your Offer
Your offer must be clear, tangible, and tied to outcomes. Avoid vague proposals. Define what you deliver:
- 🎤 Monthly workshops or webinars
- 🧍 1:1 or group coaching for staff or clients
- 📊 Wellness assessments with reports
- 📦 Customized programs (nutrition, fitness, burnout prevention)
Include in Your Proposal:
Program structure, duration, pricing model, success metrics, and a short paragraph on how this supports their mission or goals.
📞 Step 4: Outreach & Pitching
Use a combination of warm intros, cold email/DM, and local networking. Here’s a cold email template to get started:
Email Example:
“Hi [Name], I’m a local wellness coach who supports [audience] with [solution]. I’d love to explore offering your employees a simple, effective wellness program that includes [benefit]. Would you be open to a 15-minute chat to see if it’s a fit?”
Be proactive but respectful. Always lead with what’s in it for them and their people—not just what you want.
📝 Step 5: Structure the Agreement
Once a partner is interested, use a contractor agreement to outline:
- 🕒 Hours/days per week or project schedule
- 💵 Payment terms (flat fee, hourly, per participant)
- 🔐 Confidentiality & liability clauses
- 🛑 Cancellation and termination policy
Tip:
Use a tool like HelloSign or Docusign to send agreements digitally. Always make sure terms are clear and fair.
📈 Step 6: Deliver Value & Upsell
This is your time to shine. Show up professionally, provide excellent service, and go beyond expectations.
- 📅 Be punctual and prepared
- 💬 Check in regularly with the organization
- 📣 Ask for feedback and testimonials
- 🔄 Offer renewals or upsells once you’ve delivered value
This could turn into long-term recurring income or multiple referrals if you do it right.
🚀 Bonus: Types of Revenue Models You Can Offer
- 📍 Per-session rate ($75–$150 typical range)
- 📦 Flat monthly retainer (e.g., $1,000/month for 4 sessions + access)
- 👥 Per-employee fee (e.g., $10–$30 per person/month)
- 💼 Program package (e.g., $2,000 for 6-week challenge)
You can also negotiate hybrid models depending on company size, outcomes, or retention goals.
