Plan B for Benched Contractors

A day-long session of one-to-one coaching costs the client £13,500.

She has coached 2,800 clients in 30 countries around the world, 195 of whom got engaged to be married

So, she's coaching executive women on how to find a husband, and her success rate is less than 10%. And she charges a fortune for this 'expertise'. I think I've just identified my Plan B

"195 of whom got engaged to be married "

Seems deliberate that figure isn't broken down into how many are engaged and how many married...

There are some truly gullible people out there.

But not 195, Shirley...

To coach the Brexidiots who have suddenly realised that they won't get what they were promised? Not a bad business model in theory, but not much money to be made as they tend to be the poorer people in society and northerners

Naturally I'd expect more than 195 out of 2800 to be married/engaged (assuming these are successful individuals and hence at least over 25 years old). In fact, with such a low 'success' rate it could probably be argued that her coaching could actually be harming these people and their chances of finding a partner. Maybe

I hear stories of so called business coaches charging over £300/hour and delivering feck all almost every day.
My clients then remark on the value they for my rates.

A classic a few years ago was a strategy report for an estate that was commissioned at a cost of £50k. The consultant spent only 2 days on site.

They suggested converting a grade 1 listed building to a hotel with a modern annexe (100 beds with the rest). The sort of thing Prince Charles would call a carbuncle. No mention of the fact that there would be more chance of getting planning permission to build a nuclear power station in the back garden of a 3 bed semi in Slough.
The consultant did a bunk as soon as the invoice was paid and he only delivered 16 pages of bulltulip! His drawings were crap and the planning officer had a giggle.

You are Date number 1. However bad Date number 2 is, if the lady is desperate enough, she'll marry him and pay up. You're on 10%. It's easy money. If I was as ugly as you, I'd definitely run with this idea...
