The LinkedIn Profile Framework Every Coach Needs To Win More Clients
Most coaches spend time on LinkedIn and see no results. The ones who get it right are taking all the clients. Why couldn't that be you? They are no smarter than you. They are no more prepared, talented or experienced. They just stopped overthinking LinkedIn and started taking action.
Success as a coach on LinkedIn starts with your profile. Here's exactly what to do.
Transform your LinkedIn profile into a client-winning machine
No one cares that you're a coach, speaker, author. Generic titles could belong to thousands of people. Your headline needs to tell visitors exactly what transformation you deliver and who gets it. Use the formula 'I help [type of person]Less 'business coach and consultant" more "I turn overwhelmed agency owners into confident CEOs with systems that scale." Your profile views might stay the same. Your discovery calls might triple. The difference is specificity. When agency owners see that headline, they know immediately that you can solve their exact problem. No guessing. No wondering. Just instant clarity about the value they get.
That blue LinkedIn default banner screams amateur hour. Your banner works like a billboard. It's prime real estate that most coaches waste on pretty graphics or motivational quotes. Use it to showcase proof. Screenshot a powerful client testimonial. Display your core offer. Show the transformation you create.
When potential clients hit your profile, they scan the banner before reading anything else. Make those three seconds count. A testimonial saying "Emma helped me double my speaking fees in 90 days" does more heavy lifting than any inspirational sunset. Your banner should make visitors think "I want that result" before they've even scrolled to your About section.
Most About sections read like diary entries. Long paragraphs about your journey, your why, your passion for helping others. Your potential clients don't care about your story until they know you can solve their problem. Start with their pain. Hit them with the cost of staying stuck. Then show them the transformation waiting on the other side.
Use this structure: Hook them with their biggest frustration. Prove you understand their world with specific examples. List the exact outcomes you deliver using bullet points. Include one piece of social proof. End with a clear call to action. "Book a call" over "feel free to reach out". Link your best lead magnet to add instant value. Understand your client's mind and speak directly to it.
Empty Featured sections waste the most valuable space on your profile. This section sits right where engaged visitors look for proof you can deliver. Feature your highest-converting lead magnet once again. Pin a case study showing dramatic client results. Showcase your signature framework. Make it impossible for ideal clients to leave without taking action.
The Featured section works like your shop window and there's no point leaving it empty. Feature content that demonstrates expertise while moving people toward working with you. A PDF showing "The 5-step framework I used to help 50 coaches hit 10k months" outperforms any amount of industry articles you've shared. Give visitors something valuable they can only get from you.
Your contact button hides behind "More" on mobile and most visitors won't hunt for it. Add a way of people getting in touch to your About section and include it in your Featured content. A booking link or an application form, whatever your vibe. But don't leave them getting in touch to chance. Remove every barrier between interest and action. The easier you make it to book a call, the more calls you'll book.
When someone decides they want to explore working with you, that moment of motivation is fleeting. Capture it immediately. Remove the friction that kills conversation. The LinkedIn algorithm means they might not see your next post, so the time to get closer is from the first visit.
LinkedIn for coaches: your profile is a 24/7 sales asset: make it work
Your profile either converts visitors into coaching clients or wastes their time. No middle ground exists. Every element needs to earn its place by moving people closer to working with you. Stop writing for colleagues who already know what you do. Write for the clients who need what you offer but don't know you exist yet. Test different headlines until enquiries increase. Switch banner images until people message you about them. Rewrite your About section until it generates calls. Make your LinkedIn profile work as hard as you do.
Update your LinkedIn profile to attract ideal coaching clients.

ROSEN, SKILLED INVESTOR COUNSEL, Encourages Centene Corporation Investors to Secure Counsel Before Important Deadline in Securities Class Action
New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - August 15, 2025) - WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of securities of Centene Corporation (NYSE: CNC) between December 12, 2024 and June 30, 2025, both dates inclusive (the 'Class Period'), of the important September 8, 2025 lead plaintiff deadline. SO WHAT: If you purchased Centene securities during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement. WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the Centene class action, go to or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than September 8, 2025. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation. WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually litigate securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company at the time. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers. DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, defendants throughout the Class Period provided investors with material information concerning Centene's expected revenue guidance and adjusted diluted earnings per share ('EPS') for the 2025 fiscal year. Defendants' statements included, among other things, confidence in Centene's enrollment and morbidity rates, as well as strong retention rates in Centene's Medicare business. Defendants provided these overwhelmingly positive statements to investors while simultaneously disseminating materially false and misleading statements and/or concealing material adverse facts concerning the true state of Centene's enrollment and morbidity rates. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages. To join the Centene class action, go to or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action. No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff. Follow us for updates on LinkedIn: on Twitter: or on Facebook: Attorney Advertising. Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome. ------------------------------- Contact Information: Laurence Rosen, Esq. Phillip Kim, Esq. The Rosen Law Firm, P.A. 275 Madison Avenue, 40th Floor New York, NY 10016 Tel: (212) 686-1060 Toll Free: (866) 767-3653 Fax: (212) 202-3827 [email protected] To view the source version of this press release, please visit

New business joins Green Bay Start-Up Hub, fostering entrepreneurial growth
GREEN BAY, Wis. (WFRV) – Entrepreneurs in the Green Bay area often find themselves starting in an office at the Start-Up Hub on NWTC's campus, with continuous waves of aspiring business owners joining a community that many love. Tuesday, community leaders and members of the Greater Green Bay Chamber gathered to celebrate a new business coming into the building. Red Cross delivers aid from Green Bay to flooded Milwaukee neighborhoods 'The Start-Up Hub, the Chamber itself, is focused around growth, talent and impact, and the Start-Up Hub is no exception to that,' said Shane Kanneberg, director of entrepreneurship and startups at the Greater Green Bay Chamber. 'We really do help businesses launch their businesses, grow and become staples in our community.' The hub brings together entrepreneurs in a collaborative space, allowing them to network and find their footing in a growing community right here in Green Bay. 'I think this is a great first step. You don't want to do this blindly — you want to have a plan, you want to line up a board of advisors, you want to talk to customers and make sure that whatever you are planning to do, there is a demand for it,' said State Sen. Jaime Wall. 'So you want to do it as smartly as you can, and one good way you can do that is to connect with resources like the Start-Up Hub to help you write that business plan and get your feet on the ground.' The new business, Four Leaf Communications, founded and owned by former WFRV news director John Laughrin, has leaned on the resources the Greater Green Bay Chamber provides to get the most out of learning how to become a small business. 'I know how to help businesses tell their stories — that's my background, that's what I know. I don't know a lot of things that go into filing with the state, starting a business and figuring that part out, and what licensing you need for that. So to be able to come to a known place that has resources and other people in a similar spot,' Laughrin said. Laughrin is grateful for the impact the Greater Green Bay Chamber and other area chambers have had on his passion for helping local businesses and nonprofits tell their stories to connect with the people they need to reach. 'Signing those partners up so that I can start telling the community about some of the great things happening in our backyards that they might not already know about — there are great things. If your company is a best-kept secret, I want to change that. I want people to know about what you're doing so people can support it,' Laughrin said. Report ranks Wisconsin as the fourth-best state to live in the entire U.S. If you are interested in learning more about the Greater Green Bay Chamber and the Start-Up Hub, you can check them out here.
