According to renowned business coach &lt;a href="https://profiles.google.com/thecoachescoach/about"&gt;Eric Dombach&lt;/a&gt;, a “solid social media presence” is important if a business coach wants to succeed in the industry.  The emergence of social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter has undoubtedly changed how individuals and companies advertise their products and services.  Aside from being cost-efficient, marketing through social media is effective for business coaches because they get to interact with their clients both in a strictly professional manner and in a more casual way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table style="width: auto;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/YhwGJSYelfMrx2DnWArkzBdQcaoxuWG4LB54fIWWulU?feat=embedwebsite"&gt;&lt;img height="285" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-nCsVFxLYiqI/Tz4MZk4oZJI/AAAAAAAAAME/Iw0emJi48CQ/s400/social-media-waste-of-time.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 11px; text-align: right;"&gt;Eric Dombach &lt;a href="http://www.1stwebdesigner.com/freebies/integrate-social-media-your-website/"&gt;Photo credit: http://www.1stwebdesigner.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Though there are millions of people and companies who make use of these social networking sites either for professional use, some are overwhelmed in navigating them and get confused by all the jargon (e.g., hashtags or tweets).  To overcome this, &lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/people/Eric-Dombach/722266134"&gt;Eric Dombach&lt;/a&gt; suggests that business coaches learn the general environment of each website.  This is also important so that they can be aware on how to properly address their clients (or followers).  For example, business coaches who use Facebook and Twitter can talk to their clients in a casual manner, while those who use LinkedIn must present themselves professionally.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table style="width: auto;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/dmCVAJTw2YF2r-7ZktJ0YxdQcaoxuWG4LB54fIWWulU?feat=embedwebsite"&gt;&lt;img height="278" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-R0KSk9XecGI/Tz4MZmITcwI/AAAAAAAAALo/kUKjxeVhbpQ/s400/tweet.png" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 11px; text-align: right;"&gt;From &lt;a href="http://www.1stwebdesigner.com/freebies/integrate-social-media-your-website/"&gt;Photo credit: http://www.1stwebdesigner.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No matter what the website is, Eric Dombach recommends that business coaches tailor their approach to the “vibe” of the site they’re using.  Also, it is important that business coaches talk less about themselves and more about how they can help their clients.  Knowing these approaches is essential for business coaches to establish their credibility to prospective clients.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table style="width:auto;"&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/-Q1RuXphygfQlMnSVePhchdQcaoxuWG4LB54fIWWulU?feat=embedwebsite"&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-GmOkcOVH8Uk/Tz4P6vmOWDI/AAAAAAAAAMg/oERX0_6d5ls/s400/likebox.png" height="400" width="208" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:11px; text-align:right"&gt;From &lt;a href="http://www.1stwebdesigner.com/freebies/integrate-social-media-your-website/"&gt;Photo credit: http://www.1stwebdesigner.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;More information on &lt;a href="http://twitter.com/ericdombach"&gt;Eric Dombach&lt;/a&gt; and the marketing strategies for business coaches can be found at &lt;a href="http://mycoachescoach.com/"&gt;MyCoachesCoach.com&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5554832960257832877-8854631144815981020?l=ericdombach.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ericdombach.blogspot.com/feeds/8854631144815981020/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://ericdombach.blogspot.com/2012/02/eric-dombach-role-of-social-media-on.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5554832960257832877/posts/default/8854631144815981020'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5554832960257832877/posts/default/8854631144815981020'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ericdombach.blogspot.com/2012/02/eric-dombach-role-of-social-media-on.html' title='Eric Dombach: The role of social media on the business coaching industry'/><author><name>Eric Dombach</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05157879628080159870</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-nCsVFxLYiqI/Tz4MZk4oZJI/AAAAAAAAAME/Iw0emJi48CQ/s72-c/social-media-waste-of-time.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5554832960257832877.post-4769444950962476986</id><published>2012-01-04T01:53:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2012-01-04T02:25:59.387-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Eric_Dombach'/><title type='text'>Eric Dombach: Break the custom of micromanagement</title><content type='html'>&lt;table style="width:auto;"&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/rNKWyMyA7A6bvBIgv-xO_NMTjNZETYmyPJy0liipFm0?feat=embedwebsite"&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-uN6k9hRTauQ/TwQgj6MEcgI/AAAAAAAAAKM/yCZ-Ta6qbVo/s288/5228340171_5f41d43bd5.jpg" height="193" width="288" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:11px; text-align:right"&gt;Eric Dombach Photo Credit: &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/avlxyz/5228340171/sizes/m/in/photostream/?authuser=0&amp;feat=embedwebsite"&gt;avlxyz&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many business owners and corporate heads employ micromanagement on their employees. Business coaches like &lt;a href="http://ericdombach.livejournal.com"&gt;Eric Dombach&lt;/a&gt; state however, that such a management pattern may not work efficiently for a company’s overall performance. The process is dubbed as a catalyst of poor work productivity as managers tend to hold back their employees from working instead of practicing effective management.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While giving general instructions on smaller tasks and allocating time to supervising larger concerns may yield some good results, micromanaging a business generally devalues every step of a business process and circumvents delegation of decisions.  Micromanagers usually get irate when a subordinate colleague makes decisions without discussing these with them, even if the decisions are completely within the subordinate’s scope of authority. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table style="width:auto;"&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/dkG8HhOQu-N2hQ0cAC1IEtMTjNZETYmyPJy0liipFm0?feat=embedwebsite"&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-TAYh8pKlp1k/TwQgl3MSzQI/AAAAAAAAAKU/5jemiOP-4yU/s288/5176378635_ab29837c68.jpg" height="234" width="288" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:11px; text-align:right"&gt;Eric Dombach Photo Credit: &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/socialmediamarketinglinkedmedia/5176378635/sizes/m/in/photostream/?authuser=0&amp;feat=embedwebsite"&gt;linkedmediagrp&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Repercussions&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Business experts like &lt;a href="http://digg.com/news/business/eric_dombach_7"&gt;Eric Dombach&lt;/a&gt; believe that micromanagement can be a major factor in generating employee disengagement, often to the point of promoting a dysfunctional and unfriendly work environment in which the managers are labeled “dictators.”  Disengaged employees devote time, but not effort or creativity, in the job in which they are tasked to accomplish.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Stern forms of micromanagement can entirely abolish “trust,” throttle opportunities for learning and development of interpersonal skills, and even rouse anti-social conducts.  The process can also have damaging effects that may extend beyond the corporate limits of a company, especially when the behavior becomes severe enough to encourage skilled employees to transfer to another company.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table style="width:auto;"&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/JYvpdzJnJqgCQ4wPZHKmG9MTjNZETYmyPJy0liipFm0?feat=embedwebsite"&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-705a2kRnyXg/Tkjof7AoA0I/AAAAAAAAADQ/wZcbA6y7jpo/s800/48590_722266134_5942_n.jpg" height="189" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:11px; text-align:right"&gt;From &lt;a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/dombach.eric/EricDombach02?authuser=0&amp;feat=embedwebsite"&gt;Eric Dombach&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;a href="http://ericdombach.livejournal.com/"&gt;Eric Dombach&lt;/a&gt; is an authority in effective business leadership.

These, according to business coaching expert &lt;a href="http://twitter.com/#!/ericdombach"&gt;Eric Dombach&lt;/a&gt;, provided a lot of support for the budding business coach in terms of systems, mentoring, and community.

While up until then business coaching franchises were the only means for coaches to get off the ground, many of those that sprang up lacked sufficient know-how. Although quite a few were outstanding systems, some were lackluster with executives who themselves had no idea where they were going.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://ericdombach.blogspot.com/2011/06/eric-dombach-use-power-of-internet-in.html"&gt;Eric Dombach&lt;/a&gt; adds that with the advent of the Internet and social media, the value of the business coaching franchise has plummeted, given that its benefits can no longer justify its overall cost which can be quite high.  The system has been considered a dinosaur among the business coaching community and has decreased in popularity in recent years.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table style="width:auto;"&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/ILITeP6QX4mgytJqWu0A9tMTjNZETYmyPJy0liipFm0?feat=embedwebsite"&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-9CdQqiFplPk/TkjuM-B4_RI/AAAAAAAAAEE/HA4K9triH_k/s288/header.jpg" height="69" width="288" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:11px; text-align:right"&gt;From &lt;a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/dombach.eric/EricDombach02?authuser=0&amp;feat=embedwebsite"&gt;Eric Dombach&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Moreover, alternatives such as business coaching membership systems exist, offering the same benefits as the old business coaching franchises, but without the commitments and exuberant costs of the latter.  Therefore, Mr. Dombach believes that these old coaching systems are obsolete and no longer relevant in the business.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table style="width:auto;"&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/IIpK-Rew0HAI5Cisc9yU1tMTjNZETYmyPJy0liipFm0?feat=embedwebsite"&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-V_hTyH_X2rk/Ti0yvuwHNvI/AAAAAAAAACM/jUkjNmyHD4I/s800/Half-body%252520pic.JPG" height="166" width="217" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:11px; text-align:right"&gt;From &lt;a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/dombach.eric/July252011?authuser=0&amp;feat=embedwebsite"&gt;Eric Dombach&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;More information is available on &lt;a href="http://ericdombach.livejournal.com/"&gt;Eric Dombach&lt;/a&gt;’s official &lt;a href="http://mycoachescoach.com/"&gt;website&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5554832960257832877-7668551345043006262?l=ericdombach.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ericdombach.blogspot.com/feeds/7668551345043006262/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://ericdombach.blogspot.com/2011/12/eric-dombach-discusses-downside-of.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5554832960257832877/posts/default/7668551345043006262'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5554832960257832877/posts/default/7668551345043006262'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ericdombach.blogspot.com/2011/12/eric-dombach-discusses-downside-of.html' title='Eric Dombach discusses the downside of purchasing business coaching franchises'/><author><name>Eric Dombach</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05157879628080159870</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-d8TbxQ3BWZE/Tkjof9YfLAI/AAAAAAAAADU/aBf-NlkQwiA/s72-c/15856_196680227828_196676867828_2885702_6802035_n.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5554832960257832877.post-8404669412213041852</id><published>2011-12-12T02:02:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2011-12-12T02:03:12.353-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Eric_Dombach'/><title type='text'>Eric Dombach: Business management anchored on responsibility</title><content type='html'>&lt;table style="width:auto;"&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/ILITeP6QX4mgytJqWu0A9g?feat=embedwebsite"&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-9CdQqiFplPk/TkjuM-B4_RI/AAAAAAAAAEE/HA4K9triH_k/s288/header.jpg" height="69" width="288" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:11px; text-align:right"&gt;From &lt;a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/dombach.eric/EricDombach02?authuser=0&amp;feat=embedwebsite"&gt;Eric Dombach&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Perhaps, authority makes some things get done immediately. However, little or nothing gets accomplished without gracing responsibility.  Business mentors like &lt;a href="http://twitter.com/#!/ericdombach"&gt;Eric Dombach&lt;/a&gt; state that increased responsibility is directly proportional to increased levels of productivity, quality, service, and participation.  Many people would love to take on responsibility, but systematization and bureaucratization have resulted in cultures in the workplace that limit people’s ability to express their obligations. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Responsibility begins with the willpower to make something different, rather than being concerned with whose job is it or who will get the credit.  Responsibility is an opportunity to make people think that they have something to do with everything around them.  Otherwise, there is always room to blame the other person.  When most people think that taking responsibility on just a tiny part of their job is already enough, owning the entire thing will actually bring more reward. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table style="width:auto;"&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/K78I6jnOTQaRWT0-_oOOjQ?feat=embedwebsite"&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-9tz-eXyfSMo/Ti0yvtv8vsI/AAAAAAAAACI/fWT9peHhYVE/s288/Banner.JPG" height="50" width="288" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:11px; text-align:right"&gt;From &lt;a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/dombach.eric/July252011?authuser=0&amp;feat=embedwebsite"&gt;Eric Dombach&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;a href="http://digg.com/news/business/eric_dombach_7"&gt;Eric Dombach&lt;/a&gt; considers responsibility as an act of courage.  It has extraordinary power to impact performance because it generates action beyond what it obviously requires. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Responsibility is more of an element of self-motivation than it is a function of structure.   In a culture of responsibility, no one stops people from doing what they are expected to do or going beyond what their job description tells.  In fact, it’s even appreciated.  When people use 100 percent of their skills, dedication, and obligation, they produce exceptional results. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table style="width:auto;"&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/JYvpdzJnJqgCQ4wPZHKmGw?feat=embedwebsite"&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-705a2kRnyXg/Tkjof7AoA0I/AAAAAAAAADQ/wZcbA6y7jpo/s800/48590_722266134_5942_n.jpg" height="189" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:11px; text-align:right"&gt;From &lt;a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/dombach.eric/EricDombach02?authuser=0&amp;feat=embedwebsite"&gt;Eric Dombach&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;For more information about &lt;a href="http://www.xing.com/profile/Eric_Dombach"&gt;Eric Dombach&lt;/a&gt;, visit &lt;a href="http://mycoachescoach.com/"&gt;MyCoachesCoach.com&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5554832960257832877-8404669412213041852?l=ericdombach.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ericdombach.blogspot.com/feeds/8404669412213041852/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://ericdombach.blogspot.com/2011/12/eric-dombach-business-management.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5554832960257832877/posts/default/8404669412213041852'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5554832960257832877/posts/default/8404669412213041852'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ericdombach.blogspot.com/2011/12/eric-dombach-business-management.html' title='Eric Dombach: Business management anchored on responsibility'/><author><name>Eric Dombach</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05157879628080159870</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-9CdQqiFplPk/TkjuM-B4_RI/AAAAAAAAAEE/HA4K9triH_k/s72-c/header.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5554832960257832877.post-6188214649805031203</id><published>2011-12-05T17:25:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-12-05T17:25:05.068-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Eric_Dombach'/><title type='text'>Eric Dombach: Three things you need to succeed as a business coach</title><content type='html'>&lt;table style="width:auto;"&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/TiKhsmomYQTPEZeI_nJeig?feat=embedwebsite"&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-WYh0HdsnlcI/TkzO-bgsQiI/AAAAAAAAAFs/1zD6kmTTG5g/s400/eric%252520dombach13.png" height="299" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:11px; text-align:right"&gt;From &lt;a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/dombach.eric/GoogleSitePhotos?authuser=0&amp;feat=embedwebsite"&gt;Eric Dombach&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to &lt;a href="http://digg.com/news/business/eric_dombach_7"&gt;Eric Dombach&lt;/a&gt;, the coaches’ coach, business coaching franchises used to be the only source of ideas for high-end business mentorship.  But even so, it was something that didn’t give a blown up map for specific goals.  Some have well-developed systems, others lack quality.  Hence, experts like Mr. Dombach have concluded that there should be three things that coaching aspirants must bear in mind before setting up their game. These include: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;A business coaching system&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This system should cover everything a business coach needs for business coaching success— lead generation, sales conversion, customized business management, and metrics.  The more comprehensive the system is, the better the results will be. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table style="width:auto;"&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/ILITeP6QX4mgytJqWu0A9g?feat=embedwebsite"&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-9CdQqiFplPk/TkjuM-B4_RI/AAAAAAAAAEE/HA4K9triH_k/s288/header.jpg" height="69" width="288" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:11px; text-align:right"&gt;From &lt;a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/dombach.eric/EricDombach02?authuser=0&amp;feat=embedwebsite"&gt;Eric Dombach&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;A mentor&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://ericdombach.livejournal.com/"&gt;Eric Dombach&lt;/a&gt; states that it should not come as a surprise that a business coach might need a business coach.  Mentors need someone who has a lot of experience, and who understands the industry and what it takes to become victorious.  Business coaches are encouraged to practice what the more experienced business coach teaches to help them become more adept in their craft. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Community&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Human beings do better in groups.  Although solo entrepreneurship also powerful, a well-founded support system remains to be a must. Business coaches need the help of dedicated professionals and peers who do what they do, celebrate their successes, and help them overcome their obstacles. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table style="width:auto;"&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/o-RecVN5bUzquDVB_rUd1g?feat=embedwebsite"&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-qfcqWmz8yQ4/Ti0yvSn8WZI/AAAAAAAAACA/c-fYMAWKPJ4/s288/invite.JPG" height="225" width="288" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:11px; text-align:right"&gt;From &lt;a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/dombach.eric/July252011?authuser=0&amp;feat=embedwebsite"&gt;Eric Dombach&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Business coaching membership systems provide business coaches with all these three elements that they need to become successful at a fraction of the cost.

Business coaches like &lt;a href="http://www.crunchbase.com/person/eric-dombach"&gt;Eric Dombach&lt;/a&gt; believe that no matter how diverse the art of coaching may be—encompassing areas such as education, theatre, broadcasting, and sports, among others—there are still ideologies that run parallel in the backbone of these fields.  And in business, many principles share the same face as those applied in sports. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Business coaching and sports coaching have many things in common, even if they revolve around two different areas of learning.  In sports, a coach encourages athletes to achieve optimum performance, provides support when they get exhausted, and teaches techniques to beat the opposing team.  A sports coach will also make the players run more laps and make them work harder than they would on their own. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table style="width:auto;"&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/TiKhsmomYQTPEZeI_nJeig?feat=embedwebsite"&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-WYh0HdsnlcI/TkzO-bgsQiI/AAAAAAAAAFs/1zD6kmTTG5g/s288/eric%252520dombach13.png" height="216" width="288" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:11px; text-align:right"&gt;From &lt;a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/dombach.eric/GoogleSitePhotos?authuser=0&amp;feat=embedwebsite"&gt;Eric Dombach&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Business experts like &lt;a href="http://www.plaxo.com/directory/profile/231928878983/01d11c45/Eric/Dombach"&gt;Eric Dombach&lt;/a&gt; agree that in business, the culture of sports applies true to the corporate world. In business, being successful by creating profit or acquiring clients is pretty much the same as winning trophies in sports. The role of a business coach is to provide business owners with corporate guidance, support, accountability, and encouragement.  Business coaches help their clients expand their limits and be courageous in confronting corporate challenges. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Business coaching helps owners of small- and medium-sized businesses with their marketing strategies, sales augmentation, team building and management, operations planning, and so much more.  Most importantly, just like a coach for a sports team, a business coach helps his people focus on the game. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table style="width:auto;"&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/o-RecVN5bUzquDVB_rUd1g?feat=embedwebsite"&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-qfcqWmz8yQ4/Ti0yvSn8WZI/AAAAAAAAACA/c-fYMAWKPJ4/s288/invite.JPG" height="225" width="288" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:11px; text-align:right"&gt;From &lt;a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/dombach.eric/July252011?authuser=0&amp;feat=embedwebsite"&gt;Eric Dombach&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;For more information about Eric Dombach, visit &lt;a href="http://mycoachescoach.com/"&gt;MyCoachesCoach.com&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5554832960257832877-143814430126259394?l=ericdombach.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ericdombach.blogspot.com/feeds/143814430126259394/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://ericdombach.blogspot.com/2011/11/eric-dombach-parallels-of-sports.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5554832960257832877/posts/default/143814430126259394'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5554832960257832877/posts/default/143814430126259394'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ericdombach.blogspot.com/2011/11/eric-dombach-parallels-of-sports.html' title='Eric Dombach: The parallels of sports coaching and business coaching'/><author><name>Eric Dombach</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05157879628080159870</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-1sxUAih-ZLE/TkzO74TSnyI/AAAAAAAAAFI/_oQWOsNNBr0/s72-c/eric%252520dombach6.png' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5554832960257832877.post-8499893899172945486</id><published>2011-11-13T22:22:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2011-11-13T22:22:27.324-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Eric_Dombach'/><title type='text'>Eric Dombach: Be a business coach</title><content type='html'>&lt;table style="width:auto;"&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/VmR5_X9jsj6ERWfGxgZkcw?feat=embedwebsite"&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-1sxUAih-ZLE/TkzO74TSnyI/AAAAAAAAAFI/_oQWOsNNBr0/s288/eric%252520dombach6.png" height="216" width="288" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:11px; text-align:right"&gt;From &lt;a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/dombach.eric/GoogleSitePhotos?authuser=0&amp;feat=embedwebsite"&gt;Eric Dombach&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Business coaching involves helping local businesses expand and grow. It represents a work-from-home occupation that has an earning potential as high as $100,000 to $300,000 per annum. &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wuG1XNEktjs"&gt;Eric Dombach&lt;/a&gt; presents the advantages of business coaching and the considerations needed to begin work as a business coach. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Business coaching offers an exciting and more lucrative alternative to most home-based businesses. It offers flexible time and a business coach can earn as high as $750 per hour. In addition, unlike most home-based businesses where transactions are done through a home computer, business coaching involves a lot of travel and interaction with customers. Moreover, business coaching is a service, not a product; there’s no need to look for a customer base like home-based direct selling does. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table style="width:auto;"&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/TiKhsmomYQTPEZeI_nJeig?feat=embedwebsite"&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-WYh0HdsnlcI/TkzO-bgsQiI/AAAAAAAAAFs/1zD6kmTTG5g/s288/eric%252520dombach13.png" height="216" width="288" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:11px; text-align:right"&gt;From &lt;a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/dombach.eric/GoogleSitePhotos?authuser=0&amp;feat=embedwebsite"&gt;Eric Dombach&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Adding to that, with the right kind of mindset, business coaches can feel fulfilled knowing that they have helped make a difference for a small business. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From humble beginnings, &lt;a href="http://twitter.com/#!/ericdombach"&gt;Eric Dombach&lt;/a&gt; has made a fortune on business coaching. Having sold his business for $1 million, he created The Coaches’ Coach, which offers training services and resources for those who wish to pursue a career in business coaching. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table style="width:auto;"&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/o-RecVN5bUzquDVB_rUd1g?feat=embedwebsite"&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-qfcqWmz8yQ4/Ti0yvSn8WZI/AAAAAAAAACA/c-fYMAWKPJ4/s288/invite.JPG" height="225" width="288" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:11px; text-align:right"&gt;From &lt;a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/dombach.eric/July252011?authuser=0&amp;feat=embedwebsite"&gt;Eric Dombach&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Business coaching can be an ideal career choice for those with the right personality and motivation.

With over a decade of experience in the business, Eric has been able to publish several books such as &lt;i&gt;Business Coaching Franchise Buyer's Guide&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i&gt;Do You Have What It Takes To Be A Successful Business Coach&lt;/i&gt;, and &lt;i&gt;Secrets of a Business Coaching Rock Star&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Among the significant topics presented by Eric Dombach are the following ten commandments of customer service: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Don't expect your clients to tolerate client service mistakes. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;2. Always do what you say you will do, when you say you will do it. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Never make a promise you're not sure you can keep, because promise-breaking is the same as lying. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. Never try to remember your promises. &lt;a href="http://eric-dombach-site.com/"&gt;Eric Dombach&lt;/a&gt; suggests writing them on a task list. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table style="width:auto;"&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/TiKhsmomYQTPEZeI_nJeig?feat=embedwebsite"&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-WYh0HdsnlcI/TkzO-bgsQiI/AAAAAAAAAFs/1zD6kmTTG5g/s400/eric%252520dombach13.png" height="299" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:11px; text-align:right"&gt;From &lt;a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/dombach.eric/GoogleSitePhotos?authuser=0&amp;feat=embedwebsite"&gt;Eric Dombach&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. Remember that unacknowledged communication is a profound form of disrespect.&lt;br /&gt;6. Reply to every inbound email or phone call within half the time your clients expect you to. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7. Review your task list before the end of the day to make sure you haven't broken any promises. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8. If it appears that you won't be able to keep a promise, re-negotiate before the deadline. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;9. Always use auto-responders and voice mail messages to communicate your absence so you don't appear non-responsive. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;10. Communication technology problems are never acceptable excuses for breaking promises, so make sure your technology is working. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table style="width:auto;"&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/o-RecVN5bUzquDVB_rUd1g?feat=embedwebsite"&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-qfcqWmz8yQ4/Ti0yvSn8WZI/AAAAAAAAACA/c-fYMAWKPJ4/s400/invite.JPG" height="313" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:11px; text-align:right"&gt;From &lt;a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/dombach.eric/July252011?authuser=0&amp;feat=embedwebsite"&gt;Eric Dombach&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;To learn more, visit&lt;a href="http://mycoachescoach.com"&gt;mycoachescoach.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5554832960257832877-7608711775332479163?l=ericdombach.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ericdombach.blogspot.com/feeds/7608711775332479163/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://ericdombach.blogspot.com/2011/11/eric-dombach-ten-commandments-of.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5554832960257832877/posts/default/7608711775332479163'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5554832960257832877/posts/default/7608711775332479163'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ericdombach.blogspot.com/2011/11/eric-dombach-ten-commandments-of.html' title='Eric Dombach: The ten commandments of customer service'/><author><name>Eric Dombach</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05157879628080159870</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-hQQZnI8aoG0/TkzO62h_n-I/AAAAAAAAAFE/ieXLcJv7Kaw/s72-c/eric%252520dombach3.png' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5554832960257832877.post-4857044299409125001</id><published>2011-10-28T00:20:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2011-10-28T00:20:49.020-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Eric_Dombach'/><title type='text'>Are you winging it?

It makes for poor business. &lt;a href="http://www.plaxo.com/directory/profile/231928878983/01d11c45/Eric/Dombach"&gt;Eric Dombach&lt;/a&gt; reveals nine signs that a business coach is winging it with sales and provides solutions to avoid such behavior and improve sales.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table style="width:auto;"&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/9qZtBNU5cqnbwoRGLbZIbw?feat=embedwebsite"&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-IVdoAlOVDJk/Ti0yvV84WlI/AAAAAAAAACE/JHd6bRmK3uQ/s400/Instructing.JPG" height="229" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:11px; text-align:right"&gt;From &lt;a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/dombach.eric/July252011?authuser=0&amp;feat=embedwebsite"&gt;Eric Dombach&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is there any little wonder why business coaches cringe at the word “sales?” The nine signs of poor systematizing are as follows:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. First meetings are awkward.&lt;br /&gt;2. The prospective clients don’t believe that coaching can help.&lt;br /&gt;3. The client seems confused.&lt;br /&gt;4. The coach gets tongue-tied when met with objections.&lt;br /&gt;5. The clients have a hard time finding a level with which to engage the coach.&lt;br /&gt;6. The coach does not know why he or she is losing sales.&lt;br /&gt;7. The clients appear hesitant.&lt;br /&gt;8. The clients don’t seem convinced of the value of coaching.&lt;br /&gt;9. The meeting ends without a clear yes or no.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://appliedcreativeevolution.com/business-coaching/do-you-have-a-business-by-eric-dombach"&gt;Eric Dombach&lt;/a&gt; suggests that systematizing the sale process is the key to improving the success rate of business coaches. Both the coach and the client will appreciate the additional effort taken to improve rapport and service quality.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table style="width:auto;"&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/K78I6jnOTQaRWT0-_oOOjQ?feat=embedwebsite"&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-9tz-eXyfSMo/Ti0yvtv8vsI/AAAAAAAAACI/fWT9peHhYVE/s400/Banner.JPG" height="70" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:11px; text-align:right"&gt;From &lt;a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/dombach.eric/July252011?authuser=0&amp;feat=embedwebsite"&gt;Eric Dombach&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;The Nine Signs that you’re Winging it in your Business Coaching Sales&lt;/i&gt; is a three-part series by Mr. Dombach.

He has been a volunteer soccer coach for the last five years and just recently, he served as an assistant coach to the high school soccer team that his oldest son is a member of — a great way to spend time to build up a strong father-son relationship. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;More than half of the young soccer team’s members were greenhorns to high school soccer which showed in their performance on the field: too much dribbling, not enough passing, unnecessary showmanship, and lack in sportsmanship. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Realizing how his business coaching techniques would fit to the game’s disciplines, &lt;a href="http://www.crunchbase.com/person/eric-dombach"&gt;Eric Dombach&lt;/a&gt; took the initiative to co-manage the soccer team. He encouraged the players to do “drop pass” — a pass backward to a midfielder — instead of dribbling through a thicket of defenders. Such concept applies true to a business where an entrepreneur thinks out of the box to create new products or marketing schemes that are minimally used by the majority of business establishments. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table style="width:auto;"&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/xbXSpVjgBPZsV7Lya3__Uw?feat=embedwebsite"&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-j3GL0NAuC1I/TkjujMyugbI/AAAAAAAAAEQ/If_UDtaYQa8/s800/BCR_1.jpg" height="122" width="88" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:11px; text-align:right"&gt;From &lt;a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/dombach.eric/EricDombach02?authuser=0&amp;feat=embedwebsite"&gt;Eric Dombach&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;Eric also suggested to “switch the field” by passing laterally to the other side of the field instead of driving forward into heavy traffic. Like in business, a company must learn how to avoid a venture that has been flooded with lots of gimmicks, scams, or controversies. For business coaches like &lt;a href="http://www.xing.com/profile/Eric_Dombach"&gt;Eric Dombach&lt;/a&gt;, creating a company’s own niche in the industry would be a very wise move to undertake. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These strategies are just a few of the many ideas that wise business thinkers could develop. Like soccer players who have deep understanding of the game, businessmen must also learn how to think in a higher and more matured level. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table style="width:auto;"&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/JYvpdzJnJqgCQ4wPZHKmGw?feat=embedwebsite"&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-705a2kRnyXg/Tkjof7AoA0I/AAAAAAAAADQ/wZcbA6y7jpo/s800/48590_722266134_5942_n.jpg" height="189" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:11px; text-align:right"&gt;From &lt;a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/dombach.eric/EricDombach02?authuser=0&amp;feat=embedwebsite"&gt;Eric Dombach&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;i&gt;For more information about Eric Dombach and his company’s latest product offerings, visit &lt;a href="http://mycoachescoach.com/"&gt;MyCoachesCoach.com&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5554832960257832877-3758425734488316973?l=ericdombach.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ericdombach.blogspot.com/feeds/3758425734488316973/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://ericdombach.blogspot.com/2011/10/eric-dombach-how-business-rules-and.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5554832960257832877/posts/default/3758425734488316973'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5554832960257832877/posts/default/3758425734488316973'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ericdombach.blogspot.com/2011/10/eric-dombach-how-business-rules-and.html' title='Eric Dombach: How business rules and concepts can be used in soccer'/><author><name>Eric Dombach</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05157879628080159870</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-9CdQqiFplPk/TkjuM-B4_RI/AAAAAAAAAEE/HA4K9triH_k/s72-c/header.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5554832960257832877.post-4468850879452175042</id><published>2011-09-16T08:56:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-09-16T08:56:56.188-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Eric_Dombach'/><title type='text'>Eric Dombach: Make the Internet work for you</title><content type='html'>&lt;table style="width:auto;"&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/PcAOOWL6uOsWAHBAk4K5bA?feat=embedwebsite"&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-cjIi53D6ZZc/Tkjof1JRYKI/AAAAAAAAADM/HVWsJCV1ciM/s144/Eric%252520TCC%252520Headshot%25252031288434458997.jpg" height="144" width="107" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:11px; text-align:right"&gt;From &lt;a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/dombach.eric/EricDombach02?authuser=0&amp;feat=embedwebsite"&gt;Eric Dombach&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mycoachescoach.com/testimonials"&gt;Eric Dombach&lt;/a&gt;, known as "The Coaches' Coach" for his expertise in the field of business coaching, knows a thing or two about marketing.

Creating a FREE report and a squeeze page in a website will bring attention to a webpage where visitors can enter contact information to access the report. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. A website should include a blog. At least once a week, the website owner is advised to write pieces that clients will find helpful. The idea is to share prime content that has people seeing the website as an authority and trusted advisor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. It is best to use an email auto-responder solution. When people sign up for a free report, the website owner should create a series of e-mails for them to get at a predetermined time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. Starting one’s social networking conquest on Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn, is also recommended. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table style="width:auto;"&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/K78I6jnOTQaRWT0-_oOOjQ?feat=embedwebsite"&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-9tz-eXyfSMo/Ti0yvtv8vsI/AAAAAAAAACI/fWT9peHhYVE/s144/Banner.JPG" height="25" width="144" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:11px; text-align:right"&gt;From &lt;a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/dombach.eric/July252011?authuser=0&amp;feat=embedwebsite"&gt;July 25, 2011&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For more, go to &lt;a href="http://www.mycoachescoach.com/"&gt;MyCoachesCoach.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5554832960257832877-4468850879452175042?l=ericdombach.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ericdombach.blogspot.com/feeds/4468850879452175042/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://ericdombach.blogspot.com/2011/09/eric-dombach-make-internet-work-for-you.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5554832960257832877/posts/default/4468850879452175042'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5554832960257832877/posts/default/4468850879452175042'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ericdombach.blogspot.com/2011/09/eric-dombach-make-internet-work-for-you.html' title='Eric Dombach: Make the Internet work for you'/><author><name>Eric Dombach</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05157879628080159870</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-cjIi53D6ZZc/Tkjof1JRYKI/AAAAAAAAADM/HVWsJCV1ciM/s72-c/Eric%252520TCC%252520Headshot%25252031288434458997.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5554832960257832877.post-8069862792325013959</id><published>2011-08-15T02:58:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-08-15T02:58:12.667-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Eric Dombach’s ten commandments of customer service</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.internetmarketingfaces.com/thecoachescoach/"&gt;Eric Dombach&lt;/a&gt; is best known for being one of the leading business coaches in the industry. In just five years, he was able to establish himself through his coaching franchise, which he sold for $1 million.&lt;p&gt;&lt;table style="width:auto;"&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/PcAOOWL6uOsWAHBAk4K5bA?feat=embedwebsite"&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-cjIi53D6ZZc/Tkjof1JRYKI/AAAAAAAAADM/HVWsJCV1ciM/s144/Eric%252520TCC%252520Headshot%25252031288434458997.jpg" height="144" width="107" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:11px; text-align:right"&gt;From &lt;a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/dombach.eric/EricDombach02?authuser=0&amp;feat=embedwebsite"&gt;Eric Dombach&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;p&gt; According to Dombach, the key to being a successful entrepreneur, leader, and business coach is to provide excellent customer service to clients. The following is his ten commandments of customer service:&lt;p&gt;•	Don’t expect clients to tolerate client service mistakes.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;•	Always do what has been said to be done and when to do it.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;•	A promise that is not absolutely sure to be kept should never be made. &lt;a href="http://www.coachingtoolsandresources.com/content/wbecs-free-webinar-update-eric-dombach"&gt;Eric Dombach&lt;/a&gt; says that promise-breaking is the same as lying.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;•	Never try to remember promises. Instead, they should be written on a task list.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;•	It should be remembered that unacknowledged communication is a profound form of disrespect.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;•	Reply to every inbound e-mail or phone call within half the time clients expect it.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;•	Review the task list before the day ends to make sure no promises have been broken.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;•	Re-negotiate before the deadline if a promise might not be kept.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;•	Always use auto-responders and voice mail messages to communicate absence to avoid conveying non-response.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;•	In breaking promises, communication technology problems are never acceptable excuses.&lt;p&gt;&lt;table style="width:auto;"&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/o-RecVN5bUzquDVB_rUd1g?feat=embedwebsite"&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-qfcqWmz8yQ4/Ti0yvSn8WZI/AAAAAAAAACA/c-fYMAWKPJ4/s288/invite.JPG" height="225" width="288" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:11px; text-align:right"&gt;From &lt;a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/dombach.eric/July252011?authuser=0&amp;feat=embedwebsite"&gt;Eric Dombach&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dombach says that practicing these commandments would strengthen the credibility of a business coach, through which clients will see that a business coach can be trusted. More importantly, it is through these commandments that coaches can show their courtesy to their clients, which can be a powerful source of positive feedback.&lt;p&gt;&lt;table style="width:auto;"&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/K78I6jnOTQaRWT0-_oOOjQ?feat=embedwebsite"&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-9tz-eXyfSMo/Ti0yvtv8vsI/AAAAAAAAACI/fWT9peHhYVE/s288/Banner.JPG" height="50" width="288" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:11px; text-align:right"&gt;From &lt;a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/dombach.eric/July252011?authuser=0&amp;feat=embedwebsite"&gt;Eric Dombach&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;For more information, visit the &lt;a href="http://mycoachescoach.com/"&gt;official website&lt;/a&gt; of The Coaches’ Coach.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5554832960257832877-8069862792325013959?l=ericdombach.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ericdombach.blogspot.com/feeds/8069862792325013959/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://ericdombach.blogspot.com/2011/08/eric-dombachs-ten-commandments-of.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5554832960257832877/posts/default/8069862792325013959'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5554832960257832877/posts/default/8069862792325013959'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ericdombach.blogspot.com/2011/08/eric-dombachs-ten-commandments-of.html' title='Eric Dombach’s ten commandments of customer service'/><author><name>Eric Dombach</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05157879628080159870</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-cjIi53D6ZZc/Tkjof1JRYKI/AAAAAAAAADM/HVWsJCV1ciM/s72-c/Eric%252520TCC%252520Headshot%25252031288434458997.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5554832960257832877.post-5551706934261837082</id><published>2011-07-25T02:40:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2011-07-25T02:43:11.613-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Eric_Dombach'/><title type='text'>How to Thrive as a Business Coach: Eric Dombach Shares his Secret</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.bad-credit-loan.net/eric-dombach-the-perfect-business-coach-profile/"&gt;Eric Dombach&lt;/a&gt; is the “Coaches’ Coach,” helping business coaches acquire and maintain clients and produce business coaching firms that can sell for a million dollars or more.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;table style="width:auto;"&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/K78I6jnOTQaRWT0-_oOOjQ?feat=embedwebsite"&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-9tz-eXyfSMo/Ti0yvtv8vsI/AAAAAAAAACI/fWT9peHhYVE/s288/Banner.JPG" height="50" width="288" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:11px; text-align:right"&gt;From &lt;a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/dombach.eric/July252011?authuser=0&amp;feat=embedwebsite"&gt;Eric Dombach&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But just like every business coach, he also has his share of ups and down in his career. As a matter of fact, in the past, he experienced, in the first two years of his business coaching career, losing two or three really high-quality business engagements within the same day or two. He admits that that experience had always caused him to panic before. Now he uses it as an inspiration in teaching his clients how to be successful as a business coach, sharing the lessons he learned from his past mistakes.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;table style="width:auto;"&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/o-RecVN5bUzquDVB_rUd1g?feat=embedwebsite"&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-qfcqWmz8yQ4/Ti0yvSn8WZI/AAAAAAAAACA/c-fYMAWKPJ4/s400/invite.JPG" height="313" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:11px; text-align:right"&gt;From &lt;a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/dombach.eric/July252011?authuser=0&amp;feat=embedwebsite"&gt;Eric Dombach&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Over his first months as a business coach, &lt;a href="http://pipl.com/directory/people/Eric/Dombach"&gt;Eric Dombach&lt;/a&gt; developed a formula for gaining new clients on a monthly basis. According to Eric, if a business coach can systematically execute in three proven marketing strategies and book and execute 10 face-to-face sales meeting per month, he/she can always get at least two new clients per month.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;table style="width:auto;"&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/IIpK-Rew0HAI5Cisc9yU1g?feat=embedwebsite"&gt;&lt;img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-V_hTyH_X2rk/Ti0yvuwHNvI/AAAAAAAAACM/jUkjNmyHD4I/s800/Half-body%252520pic.JPG" height="166" width="217" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:11px; text-align:right"&gt;From &lt;a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/dombach.eric/July252011?authuser=0&amp;feat=embedwebsite"&gt;Eric Dombach&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Through this strategy, Eric went on to turn his business coaching into a business coaching firm which he sold for a million dollars in 2005.

Here are some ways on how to maximize the power of the Internet to your advantage: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*Include a blog on your website, and update it regularly. Fill it with high-value, high-impact, content-rich articles that your clients and prospects will find helpful and actionable as they build their businesses. Push as much excellent content to your prospects as possible so that they begin to regard you as a trusted advisor. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*Use an email auto-responder solution. This allows you to keep in touch with your leads and clients. Create an auto-responder email sequence and enroll your new leads into the sequence after they opt in for your free report. Have numerous calls to action in your sequence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*Get social. Create accounts on Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn, the three most ubiquitous social online networks. Using these sites, engage in conversations with people and get them interested in what you have to say. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;More buiness coaching tips from Eric Dombach may be found at &lt;a href="http://mycoachescoach.com"&gt;MyCoachesCoach.com&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5554832960257832877-3441828748103236099?l=ericdombach.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ericdombach.blogspot.com/feeds/3441828748103236099/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://ericdombach.blogspot.com/2011/06/eric-dombach-use-power-of-internet-in.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5554832960257832877/posts/default/3441828748103236099'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5554832960257832877/posts/default/3441828748103236099'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ericdombach.blogspot.com/2011/06/eric-dombach-use-power-of-internet-in.html' title='Eric Dombach: Use the Power of the Internet in Generating Leads'/><author><name>Eric Dombach</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05157879628080159870</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
