How it is used in a coaching business

Clients almost never announce that they are leaving. They drift first and cancel later. A health score turns the drift into a signal. At 20 clients a founder can hold this in their head. At 200 nobody can, and the score is what lets a team of three know which fifteen people need a call this week.

SignalWhat it tells you
Live call attendanceWhether the client is still showing up
Training completionWhether the client is doing the work between calls
Check-in responseWhether the client is still in contact with the team
Progress toward the resultWhether the program is working for this client
Payment statusWhether a failed instalment is about to become a cancellation
  • Keep it simple: green, amber, red, with a written rule for each colour.
  • Review it weekly as a team, by cohort, and assign every red client to a named person.
  • Use it for resells as well as rescues. Green clients past their milestone are the upsell list.
