How to Create Kickass Client Case Studies
Apr 22, 2023Read time: 2 minutes
Today I'm going to give you an easy to use framework for creating kickass client case studies.
Case studies are a powerful form of social proof. They not only allow you to show that your sh!t works, but case studies let you paint a fuller picture of the progress a client has made while working with you.
Let's start by showing you an example.
When Samantha and I first started working together four months ago, she had paying clients and worked full-time as a coach. She felt that her coaching business was "on the up", but she knew she was holding herself back out of fear. She wanted to refine her messaging, narrow her niche, and was looking for guidance to help her further step outside of her comfort zone.
She knew she was a good coach and wanted to increase her rates.
But was hesitant to do so.

But was hesitant to do so.
Samantha's not only increased her rates, but we were discussing her progress yesterday and she's made almost as much in the first 3.5 months of this year as she did in all of 2022. While the money is nice, she was glowing as she shared that our work helped her "really increase her confidence" and "remember why she became an entrepreneur, and the impact and life she wants to have."
How'd we get her here?
We narrowed in her focus, helped her overcome a mental barrier she hadn't even realized she had created for herself around money, I gave her a framework so she felt more confident in her enrolment calls, and we kept her consistent and accountable to the bigger vision she had for herself.

It wasn't all peaches.
It's taken dedication and commitment on her part. Plus, her messaging is still a work in progress (isn't it always). But now she's feeling better equipped to navigate the tough days that come with running your own business, she's way more consistent, and says I helped "remind her of her worth."
