Branding Storylines & Shot lists for Business and Wellness Coaches

Business, Wellness, & Life coaches are some of my favorite clients to work with because they are truly one of the most service based businesses, their product being improving the lives of their clients. I’ve had the opportunity to work with a number of coaches–marketing coach, sales coach, social media coach, wellness coach, lifestyle & habit coach, leadership, & relationship coach, and it can be hard for these types of businesses to really show what they do because they don’t have anything tangible like a physical product to show and it can be hard to show the real change that they make in their client’s lives.

This is where I advise my clients to show their business through the following storylines:

  1. What it is like working with you as a client
  2. Behind the scenes of your business
  3. Your different client offerings
  4. Educating your clients
  5. Different streams of your business income

Shot list ideas

Here are some common items that we start elaborating on for each of these storylines, along with examples from past client brand sessions. Remember that each of these shots were what each individual business felt like they needed to do to grow their business and take it to the next level.
