OPTING FOR A HYBRID COACHING SERVICE WITH COACH SAM SMITH

Having just launched our newest major feature update on CoachRx—Programs—we were excited to share with you just how big of a deal this new feature is, and what it can mean for your coaching practice. To help shine some light on this huge innovation and the impact it will have on your business, we reached out to one of our favorite coaches in the biz.

Here’s what Sam Smith, owner of OPEX Remote Coaching and long-time OPEX CCP coach, had to say about his experience with our newest CoachRx feature… 

How has the Programs feature evolved your coaching service?

We, at OPEX RC, wanted to offer a lower barrier to entry service offering to our market. Crafted Programs became that solution. In order to deliver that, we needed a platform that could house and distribute those programs the way we, the coaches, wanted them. CoachRx gave us the ability to develop a seamless way of designing our programs and distributing them to our users while retaining all of the functions we wanted from the onset. Now we are able to offer not only world-class individual design through CoachRx, but also world-class programs. 

How does your Programs service differ from your Individual Design service?

Our individual design service is centered around a relationship. A relationship between the coach and the client. From that relationship, we develop a training program that is unique for that client based on who they are, what their goals are, and where they currently sit in relation to those goals.

Our programs service is centered around a program. Each program utilizes an “avatar” to drive the planning and design process. As a result, the program is more generalized than it is specialized.

Why have you chosen to add Programs to your coaching service?

Our individual design service is expensive due to the value inside of it, and it can be too big of a cost for some people in our market. We didn’t want this financial cost to be the reason people couldn’t get inside our system and see what we have to offer at OPEX RC. So, we decided to create and deliver OPEX RC Programs as a way to get people inside our system and see how we coach, how we design, and how we operate as a community. The over arching goal of our Programs is to bubble people up into individual design. We see it as a gateway to what we truly have to offer, 1:1 remote coaching.

What features inside Programs make your job easier?

The biggest benefit and value add for the coach designing Programs inside of CoachRx has to be the Loom video recording feature. We record a short video going over every session of training and this feature allows us to easily record and share our thoughts with our users. 

How is your team utilizing the in-platform Programs sales page feature?

Having an in-platform Program sales page allows for a seamless transition from wanting to buy the service, to buying the service, to using the service. It makes it very easy for our clients and users to purchase our Programs while keeping great track of our sales metrics.

How has Programs helped your sales and marketing efforts?

We definitely have a competitive advantage by having everything housed in the same place making for great continuity from the client and user to the business to the coach to the program. And as a result, we can leverage that in our marketing efforts speaking to the ease of use of our platform from a user, coach, and company perspective. 

What are your clients saying about the Programs experience?

They enjoy the ease of use and the ability to look back on previous weeks of training.
