Client Care & Your Signature Style

Your Signature Style Isn’t Just Visual—It’s How You Treat People

In a crowded coaching and service provider market, how you serve your clients is as important as what you post.

Most coaches spend hours creating a perfect Instagram feed, crafting stories that connect, or nailing their elevator pitch. But your signature style—the thing that sets you apart—goes deeper. It’s not just about aesthetics. It’s about how people feel when they work with you, talk to you, or even consider hiring you.

Exemplary client care isn’t just a minute detail; it’s part of your brand identity. It’s a vibe, a promise, and a reflection of who you are as a coach and leader.

Now, lets talk about how you can make client care or customer service an aspect of your Signature Style.

Why Customer Service Should Be Part of Your Signature Style

Your content may get people in the door, but your customer service keeps them there.

For coaches, where transformations are the name of the game, exceptional service matters even more. It’s not just “fixing problems” or answering questions—it’s about how you make people feel throughout their journey with you.

Great client care can:

• Turn one-time clients into raving fans and repeat buyers.
• Spark word-of-mouth referrals that no marketing budget can match.
• Position you as the go-to coach who doesn’t just deliver but genuinely cares.

6 Ways to Make Customer Service Part of Your Signature Style

1. Be the Coach Who Listens
   Every single person wants to feel seen and heard. Empathy is your greatest tool. In every interaction—whether it’s a DM, a discovery call, or a follow-up—make your clients feel heard. Use their names, ask about their progress, and reference small details they’ve shared. After sessions, send a quick, personalized note to check-in. “Hey, Andrea! I was thinking about what you said in Power Hour today and wanted to share this resource…” A small touch has a big impact.
2. Respond Like a Pro—Not a Robot
   Timely, thoughtful responses show respect for your clients’ time and energy. Don’t ghost DMs or emails (even the tricky ones). If you can’t respond immediately, set expectations with auto-replies that still sound human. Your clients will know if its a chat-bot, and they won’t like it. Keep your communication with them human to human.
3. Go Above and Beyond in Unexpected Ways
   Sometimes, a small gesture can create an unforgettable experience. When I worked for Barnes & Noble College Bookstores, I ran a street-level superstore, and during the holidays, we had a simple rule: if someone needed a gift wrapped, we’d wrap it—no matter where they bought it. Did it take a few extra minutes? Yes. Did we always benefit directly from those interactions? Not immediately. But the gratitude we received was unprecedented, and then we started noticing them coming back for more presents or coming in with friends from the neighborhood: we had activated an army of brand ambassadors. Your Takeaway: Find the small “wow moments” that align with your brand values. Whether offering extra resources, celebrating milestones, or showing generosity, these unexpected touches build loyalty and trust.
4. Create Educational Moments
   Proper customer service is proactive. Anticipate your clients’ challenges before they have to ask, and weave those solutions into your content. Think FAQs, reels with quick tips, or posts answering common client questions. This establishes you as a thought leader and shows clients that you’re tuned in to their needs. This is where that notebook I remind you to have with all the questions people ask about your business comes in handy.
5. Celebrate the Heck Out of Your Clients
   A major milestone? Celebrate it. A small win? Highlight it. Recognizing your clients publicly or privately makes them feel valued—and turns your coaching into an unforgettable experience. Ideas to try:
   • Shout out client wins in stories or newsletters.
   • Send handwritten notes, small gifts, or personalized videos for major achievements.
6. Solve Problems Gracefully and Honestly
   Sh!t happens. Tech glitches, scheduling mishaps, or miscommunications can all feel awkward. But how you handle them says everything about your brand. Own it, fix it, and follow up. Example: “You’re right—there was a mix-up here. I want to make it up to you by . Thank you for your patience!” This kind of honesty builds trust faster than perfection ever could.

Your Signature Style: Not Just What They See, But How They Feel

Customer service might not be the flashy part of your brand, but it can make your coaching memorable. It’s what sets the “okay” coaches apart from the ones people can’t stop raving about. Your signature style isn’t just about aesthetics. It is so much more including creating an experience where clients feel seen, supported, and celebrated—every step of the way.
