Why you should work with coaching software?

Besides investing in yourself, coaching software is one of the best investments you can make in your practice. If you master the software, it will save you time. It helps you not to get interrupted during your work. It organizes your business in one online tool. Both your clients’ data and your own administration are organized and automated in the same tool. 

Below are the tools that provide the most benefit to a coach in their coaching software.

The main reasons to work with coaching software:

1 The coaching software is an all-in-one solution that helps to organize

The reason for this is simple. When all coaching software is in one system, four things happen.

1. The software is better able to automate because everything is in one system.
2. All information about your client is in one place, so your work is well organized.
3. You save a lot of time not needing to switch between different software packages, let alone synchronizing the data in the different systems.
4. It saves you money because you use fewer individual packages.

2 There is an (automated) reservation system

Most coaching software applications have a reservation system. Clients can book an appointment in such the reservation system. This relieves you of making appointments while you are busy coaching. It also gives your client the opportunity to make an appointment when you are not working. A win-win situation for both. Therefore this is the tool with which we once made the first step towards our coaching software.

3 The client portal environment is linked to your website

Coaching is about trust. An important reason to gain trust is by working professionally with your client. A client portal helps you to give your clients that feeling by building your professionality . You can incorporate your own design and logo into this portal. You can also link it to your website. It gives your client all the tools to communicate with you in a structured way and much more. And they can do this completely independently after you have given them access.

4 Chat and messaging function

A chat and messaging function in coaching software is very important to support clients outside working hours. The fact that you are not available as a coach does not mean that a client does not want to report something. This way your client can always log in and send you a message. And you can respond to this again when you are at work.

5 A knowledge base to share videos and documents or create your own coaching program

In a knowledge base you upload literature, documents or video, perhaps even complete coaching programs that you share with your clients. You might sell your programs or just offer them to support the coaching process. Coaching software facilitates this process to properly support your client with exercises or knowledge. All to help him or her improve.

6 Coaching software creates invoices from appointments

Of course coaching is about people. Nevertheless, invoicing is an important part of coaching practice. Coaching software gives you the ability to create your invoices. Of course linked to the client's details, and with a Paypallink. This allows you to receive your moneyfaster because its easier for your client to pay the invoice.

7 Helps you make coaching agreements and have them signed.

Finally, coaching software helps to create coachingcontracts. This is done by means of templates that you can reuse with every new customer. The client receives the coachingcontract by mail and in his client portal environment where he can sign it digitally.
