Productivity Coaching Services Agreement

What a good one includes

• A detailed description of the coaching program, including session frequency, duration, and whether support includes between-session messaging.
• Clear terms on payment schedules, deposit requirements, late fees, and accepted payment methods.
• A fair, specific policy outlining how much notice is required to reschedule a session without forfeiting the fee.
• A clause clarifying that productivity outcomes ultimately depend on the client's own effort and action, not guaranteed results.
• Protective language ensuring that any worksheets, frameworks, or materials you share remain your exclusive property.
• A deep commitment to keeping all personal breakthrough details, business ideas, and personal struggles shared during sessions strictly private.

Common mistakes to avoid

• Failing to state a clear, non-negotiable refund policy, which leads to awkward and stressful financial disputes later.
• Leaving between-session communication limits undefined, allowing clients to overwhelm your personal inbox or messaging apps.
• Promising concrete business revenue increases or lifestyle transformations instead of framing the relationship around guidance and accountability.
• Omitting a simple way for either party to gracefully end the coaching relationship if the partnership is no longer a good fit.
