Redefine how clients see you. Because 'coach' doesn't cut it anymore.

The three problems keeping you from the business you want

You know you're good at what you do. So do your clients. But how do you get seen in a world where it feels like coaches are everywhere?

How do coaches with less experience consistently book the clients you should be working with?

And why are some coaches able to step effortlessly into the spotlight while you feel lost in the crowd?


Problem #1: You're lost in translation


There's a gap between what you know and your ability to communicate that in a way that doesn't end up sounding like every other coach.


Problem #2: Your next client depends on your network being polite

Referrals from clients and your network only go so far. And hope is not a strategy. You need a predictable way to attract the right clients. Something where you pull the levers.


Problem #3: You're seen as a short-term problem fixer, not a longterm strategic partner

When clients see you as "someone who comes in and does some coaching", you get hired like a temporary contractor. You come in, fix the problem, and then it's good-bye.

When clients see you as their strategic advisor, you become essential to their growth, not optional.

The Shift


Ever hear something like? "You do a lot more than just coach!"

Clients say it when they finally get what you really are:

Strategist. Psychologist. Analyst. Mentor. Trusted partner.

It's how they start testimonials: 'Dana's more than just a coach…"

That’s the shift.


It’s when clients finally understand the depth of your value. And why they can’t do it without you.


But here’s the problem: They only say it after they’ve hired you.


Which means your marketing is massively underselling you.


That shift needs to happen before the discovery call. Before the price conversation.

That’s what your marketing must do now:

Redefine who you are, and the remarkable value you bring.

That's the work I'll do with you. If that's a conversation you'd like to have, book a 20-minute obligation-free call.

Authentic and ethical

Your marketing should never, ever feel manipulative or devious. If there's a genuine need for what you do, and you can do the work, the rest is letting the right people know. And it should always feel like you.

easy to manage

Your marketing shouldn't steal your coaching time. And it should never feel like you're not 100% in charge. You need a simple, transparent system that's easy to understand and straightforward to manage. (That's how you put a stop to 'shinny-object syndrome'.)

A Service

The secret to great marketing? Make it valuable. Marketing works best when it's a service, when your future clients want to hear ore from you. It's your expertise speaking for itself.

"Paul Melrose is a genius marketer, the person I go to when I'm in the weeds and don't know what to do next."

During a recent business pivot, Paul helped tighten and deepen my core brand identity in a simple, fast and streamlined fashion.


He *immediately* understood the vibe I was aiming for, and with swift precision created a core messaging strategy that is in complete alignment with my business goals.


I'm no longer sitting in overwhelm, but walking a red carpet of juicy content ideas supported by messaging I'm genuinely excited to implement.


As if brilliance isn't enough, he's also a genuine, smart and warm person who simply feels good to work with. I'll clink a glass to that.



I met Paul at the start of his copywriting career. Having mentored thousands of copywriters, I knew right out of the gate he had something special.


It wasn’t just his copy, which was damn good, it was his business savvy. Paul has a deep understanding of marketing strategy. He knows how real businesses run.


What really grabbed me was his uncanny ability to get right to the heart of a problem, and come up with a brilliant solution that is actually workable, not some “consultant fantasy.” That's why I snapped up his retainer offer when it came up.

“If you want the brilliance and vibrancy of Jim Rutz in your copy, you must engage Paul Melrose.”

My brother was Jim Rutz. If you haven’t heard of him, you’ve definitely read his copy. 


He was one of the highest-paid and most successful copywriters who ever lived and I was his long-time copy editor. 


A while back I meet this kid, Paul Melrose, through Brian Kurtz. We get talking and he offers to write my website, and I, in turn, offer to copy-edit some of his work as I did for my brother. 


After the call, I go to his website to check out his copy. Pow! … Jim Rutz incarnate, sans the corny Rutz jokes!

“I had everything I needed to kickstart a successful business laid out right in front of me, but I just couldn’t put the pieces together."

I started working with Paul at the very start of my business.


I had all the training. I had the processes. I had everything I needed to kickstart a successful business laid out right in front of me, but I just couldn’t put the pieces together. 


Above all, I had no idea how to get my first clients.


There were times when I wanted to jump the gun because I saw others doing things I wasn’t doing yet. Paul encouraged me to focus on my own path and take back my focus. 


If he wasn’t for him, I wouldn’t be using LinkedIn, I wouldn’t have optimized my profile, and I wouldn’t have earned my first client — who contacted me through LinkedIn! Above all, he helped me position myself to attract the exact clients I’m looking for.
