062 | Keeping Track of Who Purchased Your One On One Coaching During A Flash Sale

After selling your services, how do you keep track of what needs to be onboarded and fulfilled? Do you have a good system to onboard new coaching client? Does that system work well, if at anytime you decide to have a sale for a quick cash injection into your online small business? Because if your cash injection all goes well you’ll have a number of new clients to onboard, right.
Here are some strategies and tools for that effective lead in client management, especially for coaches just starting out that may not have a lot of systems in place.
Let's begin with lead management for tracking those open orders.
Having a system in place is the first essential step.
You can use a simple spreadsheet or a CRM tool like HoneyBook to keep everything in check.
For those just starting a spreadsheet, Google sheets might seem basic, but it's incredibly effective.
A customer relationship management tool, such as HoneyBook, helps you manage leads and your client interactions. It's an all in one solution that grows with your business, so you don't need to switch systems later on.
You could also use a project management tool to track these open orders, so you create a task for each service request or new one-on-one coaching client, assign them to a team member, set deadlines and track that the overall process.
Regardless of which method you choose, it is important to establish a system to keep track of those orders.

060 | What to Prepare Before You Bring On a Content Assistant to Your Remote Team

You know that you are not being intentional with your time and energy, but you are also not 100% clear on how to guide someone you are considering hiring.
When it comes down to it, you love to create content, but it takes a lot of work and overwhelm to create consistent content. Before you know it, your pocketbook begins to feel the effects of your inconsistency.
You talk about being overwhelmed by all the things you do as an entrepreneur, and you've been debating whether to hire someone to help you.
When you're the owner with all the things falling on your shoulders, you know you can't do them all by yourself, but you're scared to hire someone because you don't have your stuff together.
The success of your future content assistant depends on how well you set up your content system before they even start. Start by recording videos or tangoing as you are doing the work yourself.
Create a step-by-step checklist in project management software and add each step as a task in your content creation template.
Know your budget and consider the amount of extra time you'll have each week. Begin slow and ramp up, and know what your child likes to do.
When something doesn't go right, the fault lies on your shoulders. If something didn't go right with a team member, it was probably because something was missed in the process, or the communication on how to do it was poor.
Know your budget, begin slow, and ramp up as you both feel more comfortable, and use the DFY (Done For You) service to repurpose your podcast.
