Coaches score their best clients across results, energy and pay, then get a report profiling the persona to pursue and the mismatch to decline.
Quick answer
Coaches score their best clients across results, energy and pay, then get a report profiling the persona to pursue and the mismatch to decline.
Note: this page is for process reference only. Persona findings describe patterns in your past work, not promises about future clients.
Methodology: scoring axes adapt the classic best-client analysis used in coaching business programmes.
Most coaches outgrow a niche by noticing who thrives, not who advertises to them. This self-test scores your recent clients on outcomes achieved, energy exchanged and payment ease, then returns a report profiling the persona who gets the best results — the one to market to — and the mismatch pattern worth declining earlier next time.
