Independent Contractor Agreement

Whether it's an enrollment coach, a VA, or someone to manage customer care, you'll want an agreement in place with that person to set the right boundaries. 

This Independent Contractor Agreement defines the relationship between you and someone providing services for your business. Note that in some states, the circumstances around how the person performs the work for your business may make them an employee even if the two of you agree that it's an independent contractor relationship! Having an Independent Contractor Agreement in place helps document that the one providing services is not an employee of the business. 

Benefits of the Coaching Client Agreement

• Gets everyone on the same page: set loving boundaries with your clients so they know what to expect.

• Keeps things focused: clearly define the coaching services and stop “scope creep” before it starts so you get paid fairly for your work.

• Payments and card authorization: describe your payment plans clearly to prevent misunderstandings and document permission to charge the client’s payment method.

• Confidentiality and IP: giving your client confidence that the topics they cover will stay confidential, and how your clients are allowed to use your materials and methods.

• No surprises: setting client expectations for a smooth coaching experience.
