Create a Lasting Record of Telephone Calls
If any of your coaching takes place over the telephone, one of the services you can offer your clients is to record the telephone call and provide it for their review later. (Disclaimer: If you are recording any telephone call for professional reasons, you should let the other person know and you should ask for permission first).
Basically, the easiest way to get started now, without any fancy equipment, is to use a system like the ones offered by RecordiaPro.com, RecordMyCalls.com, or FreeConferenceCalling.com… but there are many others. Most of the systems work something like this: You create an account at one of these sites then you call them and conference call your client. You have your conversation, then you end up with an audio file (often an mp3) as a record of your call.
So, here are a few ways to use this:
1. In any telephone coaching scenario, talk to your client over the phone then deliver a recording of the call. As a bonus, send them a transcription, too.
2. In telephone seminars, have numerous people dial in and listen to you (and they may or may not ask questions, depending on your preference) and have your seminar recorded as an mp3 to use as a podcast.
3. Get a transcription of your call to be used in various ways (as a blog series, in an ebook, as the foundation for a guide or manual, etc.)
Your conversations are valuable and by recording them, you are preserving them to be reused by you and by your clients in the future.
