At the Business Coach Directory, we get asked numerous times by individuals selling their coaching services and people wishing to purchase them – How much should I charge? and How much should I pay?
According to the 2016 ICF Global Coaching Study, on average, US coaches made $61,800/year – approx. £47,000.
Coaching can be open to everyone, and really depends on the level of experience and value the coach places on themselves, in relation to how much they charge. There are also factors to consider why the coach is coaching – is it purely for ££ or is it something more pertinent – like giving back or sharing knowledge/experiences?
Different types of coaching also warrant different price tags. For example, Executive coaching by a highly accredited Master coach could be considerably more expensive than a coach that is just starting out.
It pays to shop around
The most important aspect of selecting a coach for yourself and or your business is that the coach fits the objectives you are trying to achieve, that way you build a working rapport and trust.
