With so many apps out there all promising you the next best feature is to get trapped into shiny object syndrome. I personally love software and I always found myself getting drawn in by new software and that's just marketing for you, these companies are trying to grab your attention and keep it. Before even looking at software there are few principles to consider. The first principle is ask yourself ‘’is this software going to benefit the client and get them the desired result faster and more efficiently. Too often we think about it from our point of view and forget that choosing the right system and setting up for our online business should start with the user experience in mind. Next “what problem are you trying to solve with this new software’’? I know it feels great to have an amazing app or website but you have to be honest with yourself, is this going to help you grow your business or retain clients? If you are just getting started online you don't need any software, you just need clients and that comes down to your marketing, so that's where all your attention should be. If you are growing and you are running out of time and you need to optimize and streamline then you might want to consider software depending on how you coach online. One thing to always remember is you are not selling your coaching app, you are selling the result and your coaching expertise. Don't fall into the trap of building an app or signing up for the best software thinking that the clients will come…..because they won't. So how do you choose a coaching app? Think about the client experience and what problems are trying to solve? And don't get hooked into fancy marketing. Ok so I'm going to dive onto my computer and walk you through 5 of the top rated coaching apps. I'm not going to dive into price as they are all fairly similar but more so looking at features, user experience and simplicity. 00:00 Intro 00:40 Do You Need A Coaching App? 02:20 How To Choose The Right App 03:28 1.
