"I worked with C&GR Associate Coach, Deanna Maio, for 6 months and it was great.  I essentially started from near nothing and ended up with 9 one-on-one clients generating about $5000 per month in revenue. Plus my pipeline is growing and my comfort level with the marketing and sales side of the business is amazing now. Deanna was perfect for me in her approach, knowledge and care."

Success Stories

  • “Before I learned the Coach & Grow R.I.C.H. system I was unfocused. I felt like I was all over the map. I only had a few clients, no groups and no plan to increase my revenue expect to work harder.

    The process of the Coach & Grow R.I.C.H. system is superb. Michelle was a great guide in walking me through the steps and building on each one until I got to the next level.

    Since learning the Coach & Grow R.I.C.H. system I have doubled my revenue and I did it without doubling the number of clients I’m serving. I have successfully run two ongoing groups and continue to build more through speaking activities.

    I continually come back to the content creation template to plan each group I start. And as I develop more components of my signature system, I always go back to my Coach & Grow R.I.C.H. system materials. The “Marketing Train” lesson was also a huge bonus for me. It gave me the focus I needed to not try to do everything at once.

    Thanks Michelle!”

  • “I hired Michelle when I first launched my coaching business. I appreciated her sense of humor and fun, and was impressed by the CAGR system and Michelle’s marketing knowledge.  One of the biggest benefits of working with her learning how to adapt the CAGR marketing principles to my specific business needs.

    After taking time off to have a baby, I’m returned to my part-time coaching practice with a comprehensive marketing system in place, thanks to our work together.   Now I’m a part-time coach with a thriving, rewarding and well-paying practice.  Thanks, Michelle!”

  • “C&GR’s ‘heart-felt, business’ philosophy has added dramatic sizzle to my coaching practice. I have had a 400% increase in revenue. What I used to earn in one month I now earn in one week. I presented a workshop to 77 people and had 1/3 of the audience desire a comp session. 50% of those people became my clients in 10 crazy amazing days. Wouldn’t you like 8 new clients in 10 working days? I have also developed 6 Strategic Alliances which provide me a steady stream of clients and also a beautiful new granite kitchen island. I love C&GR and I love my coaching life!”
