I’ve got a confession to make.

In Wednesday’s mail, I told you I don\u2019t do fancy reporting, and offered you a script to automate the very limited data that I do report. (Email repeated below for your convenience.)

It’s true; I do not<\/em> send fancy reports to my clients.

However… I do advise<\/em> many of my coaching clients to use a fancy reporting tool!

What’s that, Nils? You don’t eat your own consulting dog food?

No. And yes.

Here’s what happens.

Many of my coaching clients are small to medium-sized agencies that want to do more with less hands. I help them automate the work so they can\u00a0increase revenue without increasing headcount.<\/strong>

They typically serve tens if not hundreds of clients.

One of the main things that takes my clients forever? Sending out monthly, or even weekly, reports to their clients!

Many agencies have clients that simply expect them to send detailed reports. On time, every time. If they don’t, the client starts dialing numbers.

Many agencies use detailed reports as an entry point to start a conversation. That conversation with the client increases client retention.

Many agencies simply promised it in their initial offering.

Many reasons. Many hours of tedious, labor-intensive data gathering, number crunching, dashboarding, writing summaries, sending out emails…

Many hours of wasted time.

Wasted?\u00a0

Yes. Because you can automate almost all of it, and I’ve got just the solution for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
