How Coaching Works on the RIG
Personalized Strategy
One-on-One Focus: Each session is dedicated to addressing your specific challenges and objectives, providing you with customized guidance that’s directly applicable to your trucking business. Every trucking business is unique, which is why we tailor our coaching sessions to fit your specific needs and challenges. We dive deep to understand your business model, goals, and areas where you’re facing difficulties, so that each session leaves you with a personalized strategy aimed at measurable growth
Skill Development
Business Acumen: Ideal for those who may not be business-savvy, these sessions aim to develop your understanding of essential business practices specific to the trucking industry. Running a successful trucking business isn’t just about the trucks; it’s also about managing finances, understanding regulations, and effective networking. Our coaching sessions focus on developing these critical business skills, offering you a well-rounded toolkit for success. This is especially beneficial for newer, less experienced truckers who may lack this essential business acumen.
Actionable Takeaways
Real Solutions: Each 30-minute coaching session is designed to be intensely focused and actionable. We provide you with tangible takeaways—be it a to-do list, new contacts, or a revised business plan—that you can immediately implement in your operations, leading to visible improvements.
Accountability
Monthly Check-ins: Regular monthly sessions create a structure for accountability, helping you to stay on track with your business goals and objectives. Having a coach means having someone who holds you accountable. Between sessions, we’ll keep track of your progress and make sure you’re adhering to the strategies and tasks set out in previous sessions. This accountability factor can be a game-changer in actually achieving your business goals.
Flexible Communication
Video or Phone Sessions: Choose between a video conference (preferred) or phone call to suit your comfort and convenience, ensuring you can focus entirely on the coaching session. Coaching sessions are usually scheduled at the end of the day or evening/weekends, making it convenient for when most truckers aren’t driving.
Easy Booking System
All BLF consultants have an accessible calendar. Scheduling your coaching session is as simple picking a time slot to reserve. Our easy-to-use booking system ensures that setting up a coaching session is a hassle-free experience. Choose the time slot that works best for you, and rest assured that your 30 minutes of focused, one-on-one coaching is secured.
Confidential
Secure and Private: Your coaching sessions are a safe space to discuss any business challenges or concerns, assured by our commitment to client confidentiality. We treat all discussions, business insights, and shared information with the utmost confidentiality. You can be comfortable discussing your challenges and goals, knowing that the details will remain between you and your coach.
What it is NOT.
A life coach.
Everyone at BLF cares deeply about our clients, and we often get into all sorts of conversations with our truckers. But in order to be effective, coaching sessions should always stay the course as time spent discussing your business.
Some hokey MLN nonsense.
No one is going to make you recruit new members, join a costly seminar, or sign up for some ridiculous ‘step by step’ approach to getting rich. BLF coaching sessions are grounded in realistic strategies tailored for the truckers. We focus on actionable advice and teaching our truckers stuff they can actually use for the rests of their business lives.
Unproven theories.
Our coaching is based on proven business principles adapted to the unique needs and challenges of the trucking industry. This is not an experimental or untested model.
Not Generic or One-Size-Fits-All.
Each coaching session is designed to address your specific challenges and opportunities. We don’t offer generic advice applicable to any business; we focus solely on small trucking companies.
Frequently Asked Questions
What topics are covered in the coaching sessions?
The monthly coaching sessions can cover a range of topics tailored to your specific business needs. This includes but is not limited to financial management, operational efficiency, and growth strategies. The focus is on providing actionable insights and solutions that can help your trucking business succeed.
Will I need any special software for the sessions?
No. All video coaching sessions utilize Google Meets or Zoom. Both are very easy to use and you don’t need to downlead anything in order for them to work.
I miss a monthly session can I reschedule?
We understand everyone gets busy, especially truckers. If you need to reschedule you can do so by giving us a few hours notice. If you miss your session entirely you can reschedule, once. However if you miss your 2nd session you will need to wait until the following month.
Can other people from my company join us?
Sure. The coaching sessions are generally one-on-one to provide personalized guidance. However, if there are other members in your company (or a spouse) who you feel should attend, they are more than welcome. If they are in a different location just let us know ahead of time so we can send them a meeting link.
What if I don’t feel like I need a session?
That’s up to you. We can always check back in next month. At some point you may feel that you have acquired all the knowledge and info you need and have outgrown us.
What if I want more than one session per month?
Our sessions are designed to be efficient and structured. You might just need a quick phone call, and that is no problem. However, if you really want an additional session each month we can accommodate you with a a one time add on, pro-rated at $40 per 30 minutes.
