JigsawBox Tip: First Impressions, Get It Right!

Posted on 10 May 2013 by

The first rule of any type of initial meeting, whether that be on a date, meeting the in-laws or a potential new client is that first impressions do count! This is because most people will size you up within the first few minutes (probably seconds) of talking or interacting with you, so you have to get it right, and right every single time.

JigsawBox understands this 100% and gives you the opportunity to create your very own Welcome letter.  So you can let your client’s know what you do and what you are about from the very first moment!  It enables your clients (paid or on trial) to connect with you, what you have to offer and will enable them to get to know you.

This is YOUR chance to shine. So what are you waiting for?

We get lots of comments on our Facebook Community Page and  questions via support on how to utilise your welcome letter so we thought it was about time we refreshed your memories, if you are already a JigsawBoxer, and get you started if you are a newbie!

Why should I use the Welcome Letter?

It can be customized to be a true reflection of you, your personality and your coaching programs. Using this feature means you are able to show your clients from the off what you are all about and will give them a sneaky preview into your world and what they can expect in the coming days, weeks, and months as they go through their studies with you. You can use this feature to give the introductory information that you might have otherwise had to send out manually.

With the welcome letter, you simply set it up and off you go. Here are some great suggestions for what to include in your welcome letter:

  • Program overview
  • Inspirational quotes
  • Contact Information
  • Call schedules
  • A personal note
  • A personal picture

How do I use the Welcome Letter?

If this was any easier you’d think we were kidding you!

Here’s what you need to do:

  • Log into your JigsawBox account.
  • Click on your “My Packages” tab.
  • Select the package for which you want to customize and select “Edit”.
  • Make sure “Use Custom Welcome E-Mail” is checked.
  • Then – start editing the text! Add pictures! It’s up to YOU.

Also  don’t worry about the username and password – you don’t have to add this. JigsawBox does it for you automatically within the mail.

Now you have the tools so get to it!

p.s remember to shine by using your Welcome Letter and really show your new clients what you and your business is all about!

Have fun!

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!
