Your intro video is one of the most powerful ways to connect with potential clients—before you even speak to them. Think of it as your virtual hello 👋—a chance to share your energy, expertise, and coaching style in under a minute.
This guide walks you through quick tips to make a simple, polished video that builds trust and encourages clients to connect.
✅ Before You Hit Record
Make sure you:
Have a quiet space and minimal background noise.
Know roughly what you want to say (we’ve included a sample script below!).
Have a Zoom account or recording tool ready.
Dress and present yourself the way you would in a client session.
🎥 Not sure where to start? Don’t worry—we’ve got you.
👥 Who This Is For
Any coach building or updating their Marketplace profile who wants to add a short intro video to make their presence more personal and compelling.
🛠️ Steps to Create Your Video
1. Keep it Short and Sweet
Aim for 30 seconds to 1 minute.
Focus on clarity, confidence, and approachability.
2. Plan Your Talking Points
Have a rough script or outline ready.
Speak to who you help, how you work, and what outcomes clients can expect.
3. Record with Good Audio + Video
Use Zoom or a similar tool to record.
Wear a microphone or use headphones to reduce background noise.
Face a natural light source or use a soft lamp behind your camera.
4. Polish the Background
Tidy up anything distracting behind you.
Choose a clean, simple space—nothing too busy.
5. Upload Your Video
Upload to Vimeo (recommended) or YouTube.
Vimeo doesn’t show unrelated suggested videos afterward, keeping your client focused.
6. Add It to Your Coaching.com Profile
Once uploaded, copy the video link and paste it into the video section of your profile.
💡 Tips & Best Practices
Dress the part: Wear what you’d wear for a real client session.
Smile and speak clearly: You don’t need to be perfect—just present and authentic.
Practice once or twice: Get comfortable before recording.
Be yourself: Clients want to connect with you—not a perfectly polished speaker.
