From Overwhelm to Ease: How this Business Coach Created a Website That Converts

Are you spending too much time hand-holding potential clients through your sales process? Wondering if your website could work harder for your coaching practice while you focus on what matters most - serving your clients and creating valuable content?

In this interview, gentle business coach Rachel Camfield shares a familiar journey: transforming her website from "close to what I wanted, but not exactly it" into an aligned online space that truly resonates with her ideal clients. The results speak volumes - she now averages 1-2 qualified consultation calls monthly and attracts 100% good-fit clients to her membership on autopilot. Even better? Her new site has freed her from over-functioning in the sales process, giving her back precious time for writing and creating.

Like many wellness professionals, Rachel wanted her online space to embody both professionalism and personality – a balance she found through our Flora template, which offered the breathing space and natural elements she was looking for while maintaining an elegant, polished appearance. Her visitors consistently describe the site as "inspiring and relaxing" – exactly the impression she wanted to create.

Read on to discover how Rachel transformed her online presence from a source of uncertainty to a powerful asset for her coaching practice:

Have you noticed any measurable changes since purchasing your HSC website template? If so, please share your data!

  • Averaging 1-2 new free consult calls a month (client inquiries) 

  • Averaging 1 new member/client a month (100% good fit clients)

  • Before your website, I was hand-holding each client over the finish line. The new site has freed up my time so that I can be writing and creating instead of overfuntioning in the sales process. I credit this to the simplified and clearly laid out journey the template fosters.

  • The feedback I have received over time is that it is inspiring and relaxing, and this is exactly what I was hoping for.

Is there anything else you'd like to add?

Anna on the support team went above and beyond to assist me during my attempts to move my domain to the new site. She brought calm to what felt like chaos, and I am so appreciative of her!
