HOW COACH REPRESENTATION WORKS
​
1. Schedule Your Virtual Consultation
We'll learn about your coaching background, experience, accomplishments, career goals, preferred opportunities, geographic flexibility, and what you are looking for in professional representation.
​
2. Determine Fit
Representation is a professional relationship, and the right fit matters on both sides.
Following your consultation, Black Diamond will determine whether we believe our services and resources can provide meaningful value to your career.
​
3. Receive Your Representation Recommendation
If we believe Black Diamond is a good fit for your career, we'll recommend the level of representation that best aligns with your experience, goals, and current career stage.
You'll receive complete information regarding services, representation expectations, and investment before making any commitment.
​
4. Build Your Strategy
Once representation begins, we'll work with you to strengthen your professional materials, positioning, target opportunities, and overall career strategy.
​
5. Pursue What's Next
Depending upon your representation level, Black Diamond may assist with opportunity monitoring, targeted submissions, professional outreach, networking, interview preparation, negotiations, public relations, and long-term career management.
REPRESENTATION DOESN'T HAVE TO END WHEN YOU GET THE JOB.
A coaching career is bigger than the next opening.
​
Once you accept a position, there are still contracts to navigate, accomplishments to position, relationships to build, professional visibility to develop, and future opportunities to prepare for.
​
Black Diamond can continue representing you throughout your career — helping you strategically manage where you are today while preparing for where you want to go next.
