Pro Tip: Set Crystal Clear Communication Expectations
In the ever-evolving world of fitness coaching, one thing remains constant: the power of effective communication. Whether you're an online coach or an in-person trainer leveraging digital tools, mastering client communication is your ticket to standing out in a crowded market.
But let's face it - in an era of ghosting and information overload, keeping clients engaged can feel like herding cats. That's where our Pro Tip comes in: Setting Clear Communication Expectations.
Why Communication is Your Secret Weapon
Before we dive into the how-to, let's talk about why this matters:
Client Retention: Clear, consistent communication builds trust and loyalty. Clients who feel heard and supported are clients who stick around.
Program Effectiveness: The best program in the world is useless if your client doesn't understand it or feel motivated to follow through. Regular check-ins and feedback loops ensure your clients are on track and progressing.
Competitive Edge: In a saturated market, your communication style can be your unique selling point. Be the coach who's known for their responsiveness and personalized attention.
Your Communication Mastery Blueprint
Ready to level up your client relationships? Here's your step-by-step guide:
1. Set Clear Expectations During Onboarding
Create a communication cheat sheet for your clients:
Messages: For urgent questions or concerns. Promise to respond within 3 hours during your specified working hours.
Comments: For non-urgent communication after training sessions. Commit to reviewing and responding within 24-48 business hours.
Results Field: Inform clients that while you review this for programming insights, it's not for urgent communication. Direct them to the comments field for quicker responses.
2. Be the Coach They Can't Stop Talking About
Leave a comment on every single training session. Yes, every one!
Address any questions or concerns raised in client results promptly.
Use video messaging (like Loom, integrated into CoachRx) to provide personalized feedback on workout videos.
Send scheduled messages for weekly check-ins, milestone celebrations, and motivational boosts.
3. Leverage CoachRx's Touchpoints Feature
Set a goal for a minimum number of weekly touchpoints per client.
Use your dashboard to track these touchpoints, ensuring no client falls through the cracks.
