Optify is a coaching management platform designed for coaches, businesses and even internal HR departments of enterprises. Focused on digitizing coaching, it offers various features for goal tracking, running surveys and note keeping.
However, the expensive Optify pricing does not seem apt for many a coach just starting out or in the initial phases of building a business. This becomes even more evident when you realize that it still leaves you dependent on various external tools to conduct your business.
Simply.Coach, however, is a comprehensive to help coaches cut down on their administrative efforts, improve client outcomes, save time and scale the business. How?
- Save 30% of time usually wasted in scheduling, invoicing, contracting, handling payments and follow-ups.
- Help build your branded coaching business with a white label platform
- Allow you to coach 1-on-1 and groups
- Help highlight the ROI of your coaching with completely customizable coaching tools and reports
