1 EXAMPLE SCRIPT OF A COMPLIMENTARY CALL The following is an example script of how a complimentary call might run. When you read it, pay attention to the pace, interaction style and the way that I guide the conversation in order to keep to time, on point and to see if we re a good fit to work together. Note how I do NOT go into coaching here. I comment but do not coach there is a big difference! I show through my responses how I can help Jane if we were to work together. Finally, note how I am clear about when I am sending Jane more information about my coaching packages and how I clarify where to send that information to (very important!). Hello, this is Karen Knowler speaking. Hi Karen, this is Jane, we have a call booked for today. Hi Jane, I ve been really looking forward to speaking to you. Great! I ve been looking forward to talking to you too. OK, so as you know we have 15 minutes together today which can really fly by, so how about we dive right in and you tell me what s been going on for you and what brought you to book this call with me? Sure. Well... I ve been eating high-raw for about 8 months now and I love it. I know it s for me and I love the way I look and feel and for the most part I think I know what I m doing, but I think I m hitting that emotional detox thing that you talk about and I ve been really going through it recently. What kinds of things have been coming up for you? Well, suddenly I seem to be feeling very bored with certain aspects of my life. Like my job. Before I didn t mind it too much, in fact I quite liked it, but now I find myself wondering if there s bigger things out there for me and I m starting to feel confused and restless. It s actually starting to drive me crazy! Does that sound normal? RAW COACH TRAINING COPYRIGHT KAREN KNOWLER ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. PAGE 1

2 Oh yes very normal! I went through the exact same thing myself. Oh good, because I wondered if I was going mad! I m also starting to ask bigger questions of myself and of life generally, and the dissatisfaction that I ve been feeling seems to be increasing, like I should be doing something else with my life, something more fulfilling and helpful to the planet. Is this all part of the same thing? Oh yes. I believe that we are all here for great things and to make the world a better place but the social norm that we re brought up with doesn t exactly support this, so we end up going into jobs that do tend to crush our soul. Eating raw simply makes this much more apparent and then the pain - hopefully! - moves us to take action so we get more in alignment with who we really are. That s great. That makes complete sense. Love it! Any other areas of your life that this has been showing up in specifically? Well, as I say it s quite all-pervasive really but it s mostly around my job. I m also finding that I m even thinking about moving home and, as with my job, I was really quite happy here before I went raw!! Yes, raw has a lot to answer for!! So, is this the kind of thing you coach around or is it just the food? I do coach around food of course, but actually I find that for about 90% of clients we actually end up speaking more about life issues than diet, because once they have the diet piece figured out it is usually just a case of tweaking it. The life issues are much bigger and these continue to come up the more someone eats raw, especially if it s a really clean raw diet. Ah, interesting. I have noticed that when I eat really clean, like doing a day on juice or only salads or something, that these feelings become stronger. Exactly. So you need to know how to handle this so that you can take action in a way that feels good to you without becoming overwhelmed. RAW COACH TRAINING COPYRIGHT KAREN KNOWLER ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

3 You re absolutely right. There are times where I wonder if it s all a bit much, but I know I don t want to give up the raw. I just need more help in knowing what to do about all of this, because as scary as it feels sometimes I do feel that I m on a really special path but I don t have anyone to talk to about it, let alone get guidance from. Well, I have some options for working with me that I know could really help you. Have you ever had coaching before? Not really. I ve read a few coaching type books and I roughly know what coaching is but I ve never worked with a coach 1:1 before. Do you think it s something you d like to do? Oh yes, anything to get out of this fog and confusion really. I don t think I can stay in this limbo for much longer honestly. I understand. Well, coaching is a perfect fit for the issues you are facing, and that s because it s all about moving forward. In coaching we don t get into analysing things too much or lamenting about what s wrong, we simply focus on getting clear about where you are today, where you want to be and help you get from A to B in a way that feels really good to you. I could definitely do with some of that!... So what kinds of things do you offer? Well, I do offer one-off sessions just to get a feel for coaching, but honestly with the kinds of things we re talking about here, it would be much more appropriate to consider one of the coaching packages which run for 3 months or more. Can you tell me more about those? I can, except the packages are rather in-depth - as in, there s a lot to them. Usually with coaching it is just a case of booking a set number of sessions per month, but with me I offer actual packages which include a lot more than just the coaching - they are much more juicy! There are three different packages that could work for you, although I think probably options 1 and 2 are most appropriate. All of this is laid out in a PDF that I can to you right after we hang up so you can RAW COACH TRAINING COPYRIGHT KAREN KNOWLER ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. PAGE 3

4 have a good read through in your own time. Shall I that through to you? Absolutely. Great. Well, just to explain, I will that through to you within 30 minutes of us hanging up and then as soon as you are able I recommend that have a good read through each of them. As I say, there are three to choose from and you will instinctively know which one you are drawn to when you read. If you should have questions simply drop me an or give me a call to discuss and I will be more than happy to help you pick the right one for you. That s great thank you! I am so happy that you can help me. I did wonder if I was going mad! No, you re fine. Like I said, I went through this myself so I totally understand what you re going through. As you can tell, I did come out the other side in a wonderful way. I wouldn t be doing this work today if I hadn t gone through the process that I teach others today. That s brilliant! I m so excited! I can t wait to see what you have! Great. OK, so do you have any other questions before I get that off to you? Um, just what hours do you coach? I work four days a week and I m wondering if we can coach at night or on my day off? I don t coach during the evening but there are three days per week that you can book coaching with me and those are outlined on the document I m sending you. If one of those doesn t happen to be your day off then perhaps we can speak during your lunch hour? That s an idea. I m sure I can make it work somehow. I know I just need to get this sorted. That s great Jane. When we want something enough we find a way to make it happen. That s a really good sign. If you can make it work with the coaching then you are much more likely to make things work in real life! RAW COACH TRAINING COPYRIGHT KAREN KNOWLER ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. PAGE 4

5 Good point! Well, I look forward to receiving the information. Brilliant. I ll get that off to you in the next few minutes then. Shall I send to the same that you booked this session with? Oh yes, that s my work one but I m the only one who will see it. OK, well I ll send it very shortly and I look forward to hearing from you soon. Oh you will. I can t wait to get started! Great. Speak to you soon then. Thanks Karen. Bye! Bye Jane. Take care. RAW COACH TRAINING COPYRIGHT KAREN KNOWLER ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. PAGE 5
