Mobile Apps for Business & Life Coaches

Apr 20, 2023

Q. What is the number 1 reason why coaches need a mobile app?

A. Relationships

A direct, powerful and consistent 1:1 relationship and connection with their clients. 

 

In this article we'll look at how a mobile app can provide powerful tools, solutions to business challenges and enable you to excel in your business as a Life, Business or Personal coach.

 

In a growing digital society, it is increasingly hard to be 'seen' as a business and to retain credibility. 

Such rapid digital growth demands that to survive, small businesses must embrace mobile technologies providing efficient and thoughtful solutions to meet their clients needs.

 

As communication is the foundation of the coaching industry, how you deliver this communication in your business is extremely important. This may be done via a website, socials, email or text. While these methods all have a valuable place in your communication funnel, they are not the most effective or user friendly.

If information is too difficult to access, clients will wain interest, motivation and trust and then move on.

 

Engaging clients via a bespoke self-branded app, provides a powerful platform for coaches (in all industries) to connect with clients, organise bookings and share their expertise. 

 

Think of a mobile app for your coaching business as a 'hub'. A hub where information is exchanged, communication happens and support is given. 

This hub becomes your go-to for appointment bookings, sending direct messages and referring clients to documentation, information, videos, groups and more, that would otherwise be located on multiple platforms and lack security and privacy.

 

A mobile app as the business 'hub', can help coaches stay organised and keep track of important information. Coaches can provide a next level of service with information libraries. An easily accessed set of documents that are relevant to the client. This may be generic notes, templates or coaching materials, all perfectly accessible by the client on their mobile device for when they need it.

 

Utilising a built in booking and payment system (or integrating your existing one), clients can easily book appointments at any time of day, when it suits them - this is important!

Clients can also make payments up front when booking, which eliminates paper work at the time of consultation, reduces cancellations and loss of income and enabling better cash flow for your business. This is extremely helpful if you are running video or phone call appointments.

This means that coaches can spend more time focusing on their clients and less time managing administrative tasks. 

 

By simplifying the transaction of information, dialogue and improving the personal experience of the client with smooth operating systems, your business will improve visibility and credibility. This will in turn increase the client base through referrals and ultimately increase revenue.

 

In conclusion, a mobile app provides a powerful platform for life and business coaches to connect with clients. This level of connection only comes with information sharing and direct messaging between coach and client over the app, avoiding information lost to email folders, spam or text.

Top 5 Reasons your health practice needs an Mobile App Access to your patients at the touch of a button - send push notifications direct to their pocket Save admin time, book, contact and connect on the go Extend patient health care experience with accessible ongoing reference information Patient reassurance, retention & clinic sharing Invest in your patients by showing you respect their time. As a society, Allied health has become an integral part of our personal health plans. With an ever increasing number of health clinics, professionals and services opening up their doors, adapting and providing additional levels of service and simplifying how patients interact with your business is critical. Future Proofing your business and implementing a strong digital strategy will ensure your business not only sets itself apart from the crowd but also extends into the future. For practitioners, providing a comprehensive treatment plan and ongoing support after the patient walks out the door, is what will keep them coming back. Going one step further, creating a system that enables easy bookings and accessibility to the clinic or practitioner allows the patient to have total re-assurance in their care plan. This results in client retention and more referrals. Many Allied Health and Natural Health providers have onsite treatment plans, often with take home exercises or plans. Locating generic plans or notes on an app gives your practitioners a resource to refer to, reduces repetitive time consuming duplication and is a reliable easy to access tool for the patient. Show your patients you care about their time. When a patient needs to see a practitioner they already know its going to take a lot of time out of their busy day. As a clinic, you don’t want to add to the stress and pressure a patient is already under with their injury or ailment, by making the process complicated. Now is the time to adapt and future proof your business and invest in your patients.
