Dubsado: The #1 Product That Has Changed Our Coaching Business

2/16/2021

We replaced 6 systems
and saved over $2500
​by switching to Dubsado.

As a self-professed tech junky, I am a sucker for a good free trial for any product that promises to help increase productivity in my life and business. To that point, I racked up a whopping 9 systems and software products I was using in my business. In an attempt to set up automation, I had created a disjointed cluster of products that lead to inefficiency and the subscription fees were piling up. As our business hit a new stride of serving more clients than ever and finally building a much-needed support team, I realized that my attempt at being innovative with new technology was not so efficient after all. Most systems didn’t integrate with one another, and this became problematic. Some we used for a while, but it was not sustainable in our business operations, and many were just too complicated for the size of our small agency. 

​​The ultimate test was when we hired a virtual assistant and interns to help with our operations, and we realized that trying to train a team on all of the products we used felt like an impossible task. It was time to simplify. In a quest for simple solutions, I reached out to a consultant in my circle who specializes in systemizing your business.

After our discovery call, what was most impressive is that she literally sent a nicely branded proposal, contract and invoice in less than 60 seconds after our call. I was blown away as her efficiency, and I had to know the magic formula to her quick response to close the deal. Her proven and highly recommended system was a hidden gem of CRMs called Dubsado.

Podcasting came before Coaching in my journey... well, sort of. 
I started out as a novice Radio Show Host and launched The Activation Hour Radio Show as a place of connectivity, curiosity and honestly as an act of obedience. I had a longing for media and a nudge to step out and create a space to hear, collect, and record the stories of people who shifted to entrepreneurship and who made radical moves based on their faith. I begin to interview faith based entrepreneurs, influencers, executives and leaders, and over the span of two years on air, one common thing happened in every interview. Every one my guests started their businesses and found their purpose in an awakening to run after their passions after experiencing a tremendous low point in their lives, a point of great transition.

This is what we call an "Activation Hour," the moment when you knew your life would never be the same. I had this same encounter or "Activation Hour" when interviewing my guest. As I sat in the interview chair as the host, I begin to transform to the coach. I found myself asking the deep reflective questions a coach would to better understand the journey of my clients and to prompt my listeners on the same path of their own "Activation Hour." And that's how the coach in me was born.
