Guides · Selling more than hours
When should you start a group program?
When you find yourself teaching the same thing in every engagement. If three clients this month needed the same explanation, the same exercises and the same examples, that part is a group. Start with the smallest group worth running, about six people, and keep one-to-one for what’s different about each client.
Three signs
- 1
You repeat yourself
The first two sessions with every client are the same two sessions.
- 2
Clients ask who else has this problem
Hearing somebody else’s version helps them more than another hour of yours.
- 3
You have a waiting list
A group serves the people waiting, at a price they can manage.
Why six
Fewer and the conversation is thin when somebody misses a week. Many more and not everybody speaks. How many people should a cohort have? has sizes by format.
