The Business Building Sprint: Find Your First 10 Potential Clients
A practical workshop for consultants, coaches and experts who know what they want to sell but need to get in front of the right people.
You know you need more clients.
But “I need to network more” or “I should do more outreach” is not a strategy.
The real question is:
Who exactly could buy what you offer — and what should you do next to get in front of them?
If your target audience still feels broad, your outreach is inconsistent, or you rely mostly on referrals and hope the right people somehow find you, this workshop will help you make client acquisition much more concrete.
This is a working session, not a webinar.
You’ll work on your own business during the session and leave with a list of 10 real potential clients, a clearer idea of who the actual buyer is, and a next step for each one.
What past workshops attendees said:
"Incredible value for money, left with knowledge, tools, plan and connections for the future." - Kamila
"It was both fun and very useful. I felt more energized, more confident in myself, and more secure about my chances to succeed. Val was fantastic: knowledgeable, engaging, and fun to follow. The group was also great, with a positive and supportive atmosphere throughout." - Daniele

About me
I’m Val, founder of Spark Coaching with Val.
I help experienced expat professionals and internationals turn their expertise into a clear, sellable business.
A lot of my clients don’t have an expertise problem. They have a commercial clarity and client acquisition problem: they know they can help, but they’re not consistently getting in front of the right people.
That’s exactly what this workshop is designed to help with.
Want more support afterwards?
If you want ongoing support turning your expertise into a clear offer and actually testing it in the market, my next group coaching programme starts in January.
I also work 1:1 with more established consultants and service providers who already have a strategic offer and want to build a stronger client acquisition system around it.
Don’t leave with “I need more clients.”
Leave knowing exactly who your first 10 could be.
