JigsawBox Tip: Going from Coach to Client in One Simple Switch

Posted on 08 June 2012 by

Switch from Coach to ClientWe know that our coaches are also clients. We also know that sometimes our clients turn out to be coaches! (Does that bend the mind a little?) So this week I wanted to make sure that you knew all about the feature that we have that takes you from “Coach” to “Client” in a simple click!

It’s the “Switch to Coach” and “Switch to Client” link that’s available on the upper right hand corner of your JigsawBox account. The great news is that you can start using it right now. Here are some of the benefits of using this feature…

First, did you know that you can sign up for packages using your current username and password? Well you can. This makes it all so convenient because then you aren’t sitting there in wonder trying to decide where you placed your username for X or your password for Y.

One username. One password. Multiple signups. How bad can that be?

Second, for coaches, it makes having the client and coach dual view really handy. All you need to do to check out how a package or module looks is simply switch between the two with a click of the “Switch to” link. Again, this is where the one username and password kicks in.

Third, a coach can find their clients’ usernames on the “My Clients” page and then add them to a package on the “My Packages” page with that same username which is a great way to deliver a bonus!

There you go – three quick and easy things you can do via this feature. Spend the weekend and play with your JigsawBox. Exposing yourself to all that it has to offer can only make your user experience EVEN easier.

JigsawBox Tip: Giving Your Package Some Description

Posted on 01 June 2012 by

JigsawBox - Give Yourself Description!You have all of your materials ready to go and are venturing into the wide world of best the easy-to-use coaching tool on the market today – JigsawBox. So now that you are ready to delve into your packages, let’s talk about one of the ways that you can enhance your JigsawBox packages to make them the best that they can be:

The Package Description!

Giving your package a description is super easy and fun to use.

By working this feature properly you are able to give your client an absolute understanding of just what they are going to be expecting in their program and what they have to look forward to. It also gives you the chance to let them have advance notice of anything that they might need to prepare.

Here is how you do it:

First, click on “Create Package” or “Edit Package” and then go to your “My Packages” tab.

In this tab you will find the “Package Description” section.

When your client logs into their account and package, the content that is added here is going to show on the first page of the client dashboard.

In the “Package Description” be festive! Don’t be afraid to add images, code, video, text, and more! Make the package description something that entices your client to want to know more, that looks interesting, and that most of all has substance.

A great suggestion is to work on this area and make sure that you add your company logo or branding. By incorporating these types of images and a slogan or a catchphrase you and your business become immediately recognizable. It tells your client that you have a “visual” brand that they can connect with and when they see it, they know that THE image they are seeing is attached to you.

So start engaging your clients now with innovative and descriptive depictions of your coaching package! They’ll appreciate it!

JigsawBox Tip : An Audio Refresher

Posted on 25 May 2012 by

Don't just rest on your laurels! Start getting interactive!For coaches, part of the passion (and job!) is to give your voice to your content. Let’s face it, your clients want to hear you and they want to know what you have to say – so why not let them?

JigsawBox has some amazing features and one of those features? The ability to add audio! If you are looking to energize and invigorate your content then do it by adding your own audio snippets so your clients can get interactive and connect with you today!

Here’s how you add audio to your JigsawBox:

First: Your file MUST be in mp3 format to work with JigsawBox and will be hosted securely on our servers for you.
Next, place your cursor in the module content box exactly where you want your file to upload. Wherever your cursor is, is the place your audio will upload to, so do make sure you are in the right spot before you upload, or if you need to move it, follow the direction in the Move Audio section below.

Then, click the ‘speaker’ symbol in the row of buttons in the module content toolbar. You see this toolbar in the content box section of any module.

A new pop-up box will appear, click the Browse button.

This will bring up a new box and you will need to find the mp3 file on your computer. Click on the mp3 file where you have it stored on your computer and click open.

Next, click the Upload MP3 button. Please only click the button ONE time. Depending on the file size of your mp3 it may take several minutes to upload.

You will know that your file is done uploading because the “browse” button disappears completely.
When the browser button disappears, you can now click the OK button.

After you click the OK button you will be returned to your module. You will typically see NOTHING in your module in this view. Some people may see the words flash typed in this area, but most of you will see nothing at all. However if you click the HTML button from the toolbar you will see the preview correctly.

Monday Mindset: Just Do It

Posted on 21 May 2012 by

Focus and DO IT!Here’s a simple way to get yourself motivated on Monday morning – or any time.  This process is useful for focusing your energy and attention on a specific task.  It can help you overcome habits of procrastination and also to motivate you to do something that you do not enjoy.

It takes practice to get the very best results from this, but most people can derive benefit from it straight away.


Here’s what you do:

  1. Identify the specific task that you want to complete – now.

  2. Think about the task and notice the picture you have of it in your mind’s eye as you think about it.

  3. Adjust the picture in your mind’s eye – it’s not its content, but its structure that we’re going to change:

  • Make the picture bigger

  • Make it brighter

  • Bring it closer to you so it’s really ‘in your face’

  • Add a stirring sound track, a piece of music that makes you want to get up and move

  1. Go and complete the task!!!
