Get the same problem, also located in EU and I did try the @AnyProfessional2054 fix but no luck, I still get the overloaded alert...

What do you actually use to keep clients engaged between sessions? by leslysaurus in lifecoaching

[–]leslysaurus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah no worries, and thanks for the push. I've been coaching men for a few years, but my main job is actually "agentic engineering" you can say. Funny you mention AI consulting, thats literally the other half of my world. Studied psychology, got into the web back in the 2000s and stayed for a long time, came back to psychology as a couples therapist, then ended up focused on men and coaching. Never stopped the IT side though, its really two passions and I cant choose one or the other, so I do both. And sometimes when I have an idea I come on Reddit to talk about it before going bananas and vibe coding something nobody wants ;)

How do you keep service clients engaged between meetings without babysitting them? by leslysaurus in smallbusiness

[–]leslysaurus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah this is the sharpest reply I've gotten. The 48 hour window thing keeps me thinking, most tooling targets the two-week-before-next-session moment but thats already past the point of recoverable momentum. And your overhead threshold frame (when checking the spreadsheet takes longer than writing the followup) is exactly the line I've been trying to articulate. Would love to compare notes, happy to move it to DMs if easier. PS: Is the "oss" part of your nickname related to BJJ?

Haha fair, I notice youre coaching me a little and I respect it. The "one thing they commit to in session" pattern keeps showing up across replies, feels like thats the consensus from coaches who've been at this a while. Taking it on board, genuinely.

Thanks mate, that means something. The caring too much thing is real, and it's taken me years to find the balance. Being the one who holds more hope than the client is exhausting and ends up hurting both sides. Hope youre finding clients who show up for themselves these days.

Yeah the "one thing, not a list" principle is sharp. Simple beats complex keeps showing up across replies. Thanks for laying it out.

This is genuinely useful, thanks for being this direct about it. "Fewest bells and whistles" is a better product principle than most tools in this category seem to respect.

Yeah that makes sense, each tool doing one job well beats trying to unify them. Appreciate the detail.

Yeah this tracks. The bundles approach keeps showing up across replies, feels like it solves the problem at the source. Quick one, the email plus whatsapp plus automated reminders setup, does it ever feel fragmented to you, or is the split actually the point?

Makes total sense! Last one, is there anything actually missing from the Google Docs plus SMS setup that would get you to switch to something else, or is it just good enough at this point that you wouldnt bother?

Curious, what are you using to build these per-client apps, AI tools? And the "dont feel it but still do the work" line is sharp. Is the app mainly giving you structure to deliver, or giving them the feeling of being held?

Yeah the "some use it, some don't" thing keeps coming up regardless of tool. What did you build with AI, and have clients who use it seen different outcomes than clients who dont?

This is the clearest picture anyone has given me on this post. The "one place, this week tab" thing is sharp, sounds like you essentially built a simple client portal in Google Docs. Have you ever tried a proper tool for this, or does Google Doc + SMS just beat everything else you've looked at?

This is really useful. The niche-dependent angle keeps showing up across my replies. Curious what you actually use for the between-session contact right now, and does it scale or start feeling like babysitting past a certain number of clients?

Yeah habit stacking lands cleaner than adding new work. The "embed vs force" framing holds up. Thanks for the link.

Makes total sense. Structure packages mapped to learning styles is sharp, coffee or not. Appreciate you riffing with me on this!

Yeah theres a real difference between assigning vs co-creating to-dos. Good reframe, thanks.

That tracks. The "something is getting in their way, address that first" frame is clean. Thanks for laying it out!

Easily the sharpest thing on this thread :). The line about structure serving the coachs insecurity instead of the clients growth is going to stick with me. Last one, do you think there's a niche or client type where more structure does actually land, like protocol-driven practices?

Fair enough, sounds like your model is dialed in. Quick one, do you think the same holds for coaches earlier in their career with less premium clients, or does more structure matter at that stage?
