Generosity rocks! Giving to others ignites their joy, feeds our souls and when done intentionally, can build our businesses as well.

To make the most of your holiday gift-giving this season, give gifts that are…

Niche-related – Address a specific problem your niche is struggling with and one that you as a coach can help them solve.
Sample-sized – Give the right-sized gift so that you’ll whet their appetite for even more in the future.
Branded – During the busyness of the holidays, brand your gift to ensure your recipients remember who you are and how they can reach you.
