How it is used in a coaching business

Most programs know roughly how many people were on last week's call. Almost none know which clients have missed the last three. The first number is a vanity metric. The second is a list of people about to leave. Attendance is the cheapest signal to collect, because the platform already has it, and the most predictive of churn in a group program.

InputExample
Clients enrolled and expected on the call120
Clients who attended live72
Attendance rate for the call72 divided by 120, or 60 percent
Per-client viewEach client's attended calls out of the last four
  • Log attendance after every call, by name, into the same sheet or dashboard as the health score.
  • Set a rule: one missed call gets a message, two gets a call from the client success manager.
  • Fix the call before blaming the clients. Time slot, structure and reminders move attendance more than content does.
