1/03/11 03/02/12 – Regretfully I’ve had to remove the weekly training package from my coaching services. There is just too much demand for this product and more that I can handle on my own. The law of business says that if demand is out stripping supply you put your prices up. I’m not a business man though I’m a just a coach and I know that putting my prices up would just price some people out of the market and mean that I’d have to let some riders go. I went through my list of current riders to see who I could maybe let go and unfortunately there isn’t one who I’d want to lose. When you’ve worked with a rider for some time you build up a close bond that you never really want to break. So I’m now offering 3 month plans as my one package (I don’t really go for the whole bronze, gold, platinum, ring once a fortnight and then only if is a full moon thing – that’s a bit naff if you ask me. Its one or none as far as I’m concerned). These are very good value for money and a commitment that I can take on because relatively they take up less time than riders on a weekly training package. This is a bit of a depressing thing to have to do but it’s the only option to make sure I keep the quality of my coaching high. I’ve tried unsuccessfully over the years to get an associate coach on board but so far no one has really floated my boat. If you’re a coach reading this and you think you can help – please get in touch!
