When I was building my health coaching business there were several things I could have done better but the one thing that I did well, and set me up for success, was hosting monthly Wellness Workshops.
As soon as I hosted the first one, (which only 25 people registered for by the way), I was hooked! I knew that showing up once per month for an online workshop was my ticket to growing my email list AND filling my programs.
Fast forward 18 months, I grew my email list to 2,000 subscribers and generated $9,900 in sales during my first official launch.
I think we can agree that this is a system that works.
It worked then and it’s still working today.
And the best news of all? You don’t even need a big email list to get started using this strategy.
WHAT ARE WORKSHOPS AND HOW DO THEY BENEFIT YOUR BUSINESS
Hosting a wellness workshop is the fastest way to establish yourself as that trusted expert because you’re delivering value to your audience in real-time.
Not only can you build your email list as you’re promoting your workshop, you can also use workshops to create more meaningful connections with your ideal clients and invite them to take the next step with you without feeling salesy.
Imagine… in the first minute of your workshop, your ideal client is curious what you have to say about the topic, but is skeptical and sees you as a total stranger.
An hour later, they know, like, and trust you and see you as the best person to help them to move towards their health goals.
When your potential clients understand the real value of your 1-on-1 coaching, you can dramatically increase how much you charge per hour and how much freedom you have in your business.
Whether you’re running them online (my favorite!) or in-person, workshops give you a shortcut to freedom and flexibility.

I’ve combined my experience in delivering hundreds of workshops along with my marketing knowledge and put it into a get-started ‘workshop-in-a-box’ for you.
Here’s what some people are saying:
“We’ve been using the Overcoming Food Cravings Workshop and have enrolled 3 new paying clients into our program at $2,000 each. We’ve hosted this workshop online 6 times, had 25 people register and 5 of those people booked free consultation calls. Each one of these sales is a massive boost to our revenue. The workshop seems to be a great tipping point from interest to ‘I-want-this-program.'” ~Richa Prasad & Lucy
“I recently used one of your wellness workshops as a warm-up for my 21-day challenge. I loved how easy it was to customize the workshop content into a topic that fit my audience perfectly. Now that I have figured out another use for the workshops, rather than just presenting to current Personal Training clients, I am looking forward to getting better at presenting them to create more leads into my business.” ~Rachel Crawford.
