More Than Relationship Coaching Training

By David Steele

Fully communicating what Relationship Coaching Institute is about; what we provide our members and how our system works, has been a challenge because few people have experienced anything similar.

Just the fact that we are a membership organization can be confusing, as this is not a traditional model for providing professional training.

Prospective members seem to look at our relationship coaching training and certification, and file everything else away in the"other" category.

Even our members forget all that is available to them, and are often pleasantly surprised to find that we have the exact resource they need for their situation and didn’t realize it.

Here is how Relationship Coaching Institute works:

OUR MISSION

Our mission here at RCI is to help you have a successful practice helping your clients with their relationship goals.

There are two main parts of this mission:

  1. Relationship coaching training and certification to provide you the tools and skills to help your clients with their relationship goals, whether you specialize in relationships or as part of your existing services/specialties.

    We can confidently state that regardless of your specialty, all your clients have relationship goals, and we want to help you to help them have successful relationships.
  2. Practice development support to help you market, build your practice, and get clients.

    We can only make a difference in the world if we are able to get clients. RCI is not satisfied to simply sell training; we want you to have a successful practice applying our tools and skills for coaching singles and couples.

WHY A MEMBER ORGANIZATION?

RCI started out like any other professional training program, offering a menu of trainings and certification choices, each one having a price point and requiring a buying decision.

Graduates from our trainings were excited and motivated to apply our programs in their practice. However, we were hearing over and over again how difficult it was for them to get clients, so we added practice development programs and marketing support, charging extra for each program, pricing them as low as possible to make them attractive and affordable.

It was very difficult to witness our graduates needing and wanting to participate further in our programs, but not signing up because of the cost, even though we priced them as low as possible.

When you make a buying decision you ask yourself questions such as "Can I afford this right now?" "Is this worth the cost?" "How will I pay my bills if I do this?" If something worthwhile requires a buying decision there is a risk you will not do it, even if you want to.

We wanted to remove any and all barriers to accessing our trainings and practice development programs, so we converted to a membership organization where everything is included, and the buying decision is made only once.

The added benefit of being a membership organization, besides being affordable and including everything, is that it motivates us to do a good job for our members because we want them to be happy and stay. Even though our basic membership is only $29.00 per month, few would continue paying that if they were not receiving value from it. This is the way it should be- we will only be successful if we are helping you be successful.

Do the math. For example, if you wanted to reach our first level of certification for coaching singles, you could do so within 3 months. At any other training program, a 3 month training and certification program would be $1000.00 minimum, most likely much more. At our current membership fees ($495.00 enrollment, $29.00 per month) the total cost would be $582.00. For us to earn the same amount as the other programs we would need our participants to remain a member for at least 14 more months!

As you can see from this example, a membership model is a win-win; very affordable for you, and motivates us to continue to provide value after the training is over.

BEYOND RELATIONSHIP COACHING TRAINING

Here is an idea of what we provide our members beyond relationship coaching training and certification, included with RCI membership at no extra charge:

  1. RCI members are automatically members of BuildingYourIdealPractice.com with unlimited access to:
    1. E-versions of "How to Build Your Ideal Practice in 90 Days" and the "How to Get Clients Toolkit" ( $90.00 value)
    2. 90-Day Practice Building Intensive Program ($249.00 value)
    3. 8-Week Get Clients Full Practice Training ($249.00 value)
    4. Practice Building Audio Programs ($100.00 value)
    5. Members-only Knowledge Bank and Resource Bank
  2. Membership in supportive community of relationship professionals who share ideas, feedback, marketing materials, etc.
  3. Listing and referrals from our outreach website for singles at http://www.consciousdating.org and http://www.partnersinlife.org <http://www.partnersinlife.org/>
  4. Listing and referrals from http://www.relationshipcoachfinder.com
  5. Unlimited use of proprietary "Conscious Dating®" and "Partners in Life™" programs for singles and couples, including workbooks/manuals. ($30.00 value per workbook)
  6. Weekly mentoring and consultation conference calls with David Steele and staff (equivalent to mentor coaching group- $300.00 per month value)
  7. Unlimited technical support by e-mail and telephone
  8. Marketing materials such as flyers, bookmarks, audio programs, online quizzes, e-programs, newsletters, seminar content and handouts, etc.
  9. Turnkey business models for your practice with the information and support needed to implement them.
  10. Monthly newsletters for singles and couples that feature articles, "Ask the Coach" responses, and program listings from our coaches.

We have a listing on our website of "Member Resources and Benefits" As you might guess, it needs updating, as we are continually adding to the value we provide members.
