Resources: Referral Systems for Coaches

If you know of others or this information is incorrect, please add a comment. It is very hard to keep up to date with all of these types of services.

• 24/7 Coaching advertises that at just $69 for a Standard LIFETIME Membership, you have absolutely nothing to lose and everything to gain. They convinced me. However, that is just to access resources and post your events. To get the referral service, it will cost you $299. I have the Lifetime Professional Membership but to be honest, I think the standard membership may be sufficient. One another note, there is also the organizational listing which AssessmentsNow is checking to see if it will be worthwhile.
• The International Coach Federation provides a referral service. To be listed you need to be a member and it is now part of your membership.
• The Worldwide Association of Business Coaches (WABC) has areferral system for their members as well.
• Peer Resources also lists coaches and has recently developed an association with The Coach Connection.
• If you are attending or have graduated from CoachU or Corporate Coach University, has a new program that costs around $375 and can be found under : The International Coaching Directory as well as FindACoach. Students and graduates can get a small listing for free. I no longer maintain a full listing. Many people use this database to locate a coach.
• The Coach Connection is a service that qualifies both the client and the coach. Cost was $120 US. I joined early and the organizers are clearly working hard to promote the coaches.
• The Coaching Circles will list you if you qualify and they take a percentage off the top for any clients that they refer. No initial cost to join.
• LocateACoach is a small referral service that appears to be associated with Teleclass International. Cost to join is about $13 per month and that is all I know.
