If you're a Christian coach, you probably don’t need more marketing tactics.
You need a simpler system that actually leads to conversations and sales.
In this episode of the Sales Strategies for Christian Coaches, Justin sits down with returning guest Jennifer Elia to unpack what effective marketing really looks like for Christian coaches and entrepreneurs.
They discuss why so many coaches feel overwhelmed by content creation, social media pressure, and constantly changing platforms - and how to build a marketing system that is sustainable, repeatable, and tied directly to sales.
Jennifer shares three practical keys for simplifying your marketing while increasing clarity, consistency, and conversions.
In this episode, you’ll learn: Why marketing feels overwhelming for so many coaches The difference between random posting and a true marketing system Why every piece of content needs a clear “job” How repeating the same core message builds authority Why likes and views are often misleading metrics The sales metrics that actually matter How to avoid shiny object syndrome in marketing Why conversations matter more than constant content creation How to create marketing that works even when you don’t feel inspired If you’ve ever felt pressure to be everywhere online, this conversation will help you simplify your approach and focus on what actually leads to clients.

Sometimes they don't, and that's a good thing. Modeling a mentor can take you further faster, but copying everything can leave you resenting your own calendar or pricing like someone else. Here's how to learn from the best and still ask, "Is this for me?"
For a lot of Christian coaches, it's "Do you want to do this?" at the end of a sales call. Or what to ask after "I need to talk to my spouse." Or the one we ask ourselves: Am I good enough? Here's how asking the next question sets both of you free.

In this episode, I walk through what I would do if I woke up tomorrow and Faith2Influence was gone — and my family was relying on me to rebuild a coaching business that actually produces income in month one.I share the early failures (one paying client in 2012, three in 2015) and what changed when Faith2Influence started in 2018: a $60,000 first-year goal that became more than $250,000 in revenue. Then I break down the three things I would focus on if I had that same urgency again.Day one: a simple business plan. A clear mission around a problem people will pay to solve, one or two high-value offers, and one path to present them.Day two: build prospect and referral-partner lists from the people you already know, and lean on existing trust.Day three: start conversations. Send messages, follow up, and get on sales calls quickly. Keep an hour each weekday for outreach, because that is where income is created.This one is for brand-new Christian coaches, and for anyone who has been hustling in the wrong places and wants to get back to what actually works.Chapters:00:00 Starting over from zero00:55 Lessons from failure and breakthrough01:53 Build a simple business plan02:51 Write a clear mission statement03:19 Create one or two high-value offers04:13 Establish a signature offer05:11 Choose one offer presentation strategy06:11 Build prospect and referral lists07:31 Use existing trust for early sales08:00 Start conversations through direct outreach08:56 Follow up consistently10:21 Prioritize income-producing work11:16 Begin sales calls quickly12:14 Return to the fundamentals
