One question per enquiry — You ask every new person how they heard about you. 2. One line in the sheet — You log date, name, source and stage as soon as the enquiry arrives. 3. Thirty minutes a month — You review which source brings enquiries and which brings signed clients. 4. Picking the channel — You double down on the source that works and stop the one still empty after a fix. --- To find out where your clients really come from, ask every new enquiry one question: **“How did you hear about me?”** Write the answer down and review your notes once a month. Within a few weeks, you will see which channel fills your diary as a leadership coach, and which one eats your time for nothing. ## Why knowing your client sources changes your strategy Source tracking is a simple habit: for every person who reaches out, you note the path that brought them to you. A post, a referral, a workshop, a private conversation, a Google search. Without it, you decide on gut feeling. Your posts feel like they work because they get comments. Networking feels useless because you only go once a month. So you keep spreading your energy everywhere, without knowing what actually pays off. A leadership coach who knows where her clients come from stops scattering her effort. She puts her time where enquiries already arrive, and drops the rest without guilt. That is often where the shift from random bookings to a steady flow happens: not in one more channel, but in the right channel, worked more consistently. ## How to log every enquiry without wasting time You do not need a complicated tool. A simple sheet with five columns is enough: - date of first contact; - first name; - source (post, referral, workshop, direct message, search); - stage reached (conversation, discovery call, signed programme); - a free note. Ask for the source. During the discovery call, slip it in naturally: “How did you hear about me?” People you coach in leadership like telling their story, and the answer is often richer than expected: “I read your post about speaking up in meetings, then a colleague gave me your name.” Note both. The first touchpoint made you visible. The last one triggered the contact. And fill in the sheet the moment the enquiry lands: wait until Friday and you will forget. ## What to look at in your monthly review Once a month, block thirty minutes and answer three questions. - **Which source brings the most enquiries?** That is your main visibility channel. - **Which source brings the most signed clients?** It is not always the same one. Posts can bring plenty of curious people and few clients; referrals bring fewer people who are already convinced. - **How much time does each source cost you?** A monthly workshop that brings one committed client can be worth more than hours of posting every week. A monthly source review turns impressions into decisions. You stop asking whether you should be everywhere and look at what your own practice has shown you. Keep it going: one month can mislead, three months show the trend. ## What to do with a channel that brings nothing Do not drop it straight away. First ask: did I really give it a chance? Posting twice in a month is not a test. Give each channel a clear period with real consistency before judging it. If you were consistent and nothing came, find where it breaks. Do people see your content without reacting? React without messaging you? Message you without booking a call? Each blocked step needs a different fix: a clearer message, a more direct invitation, a better way to offer the call. If the channel still stays empty after that, stop it and move the time to the source that already works. For a new leadership coach, doubling down on a channel that delivers beats opening a new front. Knowing where your clients come from means you stop guessing. You log, you review, you adjust, and your strategy becomes truly yours. Want to look at your enquiry sources together and decide where to put your energy?

Review it once a month to see which channel brings enquiries and which one brings signed coaching programmes. **Which marketing channel should a leadership coach focus on?** Focus on the channel that already brings you clients. A leadership coach who tracks enquiry sources for a few months can see whether clients come from referrals, workshops, posts or direct messages, and can put her energy where it pays off. **Should I quit a social network that brings me no clients?** Not straight away. First check you used it consistently for a clear period. Then find where it breaks: no reactions, no messages, or no calls booked. If nothing changes after one fix, stop it and move that time to the channel that already works. ## About BIZZY CONSULTING, founded by Heman Toussaint, helps coaches and helping professionals (wellbeing, life, leadership) with client acquisition, and builds the websites, CRMs and AI tools their practice runs on: the BIZZIES platform, 1:1 coaching, web and AI services (https://www.bizzyconsulting.agency/tools).
