Overview: Dr. Erin Oksol, an accomplished consultant and coach specializing in sales, leadership, and performance, manages a thriving coaching and consulting practice that serves a wide variety of clients for sales leadership and training. With her team supporting multiple initiatives, performance tracking, and goal management for each client, Dr. Oksol faced challenges in maintaining organization and ensuring effective communication across various digital platforms. To overcome these challenges, she adopted StartingPoint to centralize and streamline her client management processes, creating a seamless system that improved both team efficiency, firm visibility, and client satisfaction.

Challenges: Dr. Oksol’s coaching and consulting work requires detailed tracking of client progress, goals, and ongoing tasks. Before StartingPoint, her team relied on multiple individual software applications to manage:

• Client communications and progress tracking.
• Goal setting and performance management.
• Tracking tasks and projects.
• Storing and sharing documents securely.

Navigating and coordinating across these various tools proved time-consuming and challenging. The process created inefficiencies, with important information scattered across multiple platforms, leading to potential delays, no client visibility and tracking, and gaps in communication.

Solution: StartingPoint Implementation

StartingPoint’s comprehensive workflow automation and AI features offered Dr. Oksol’s firm a single, organized platform to streamline firm and client operations. Now, her firm could manage:

• Centralized Client Communication: StartingPoint’s unified interface for messaging and updates allowed Dr. Oksol and her team to keep all client interactions in one place, reducing the time spent switching between applications.
• Performance and Task Management: By setting and tracking specific client goals within StartingPoint, Dr. Oksol could monitor progress in real time, adjust strategies as needed, and ensure alignment with clients’ evolving needs.
• Tracking Requests, Inquiries, and Shared Files: StartingPoint’s Helpdesk made it easy for clients to ask questions outside of coaching sessions and StartingPoint's easy-to-use file storage enabled secure and accessible documentation of each client’s performance metrics, strategic initiatives, and ongoing projects.

Results: The results from integrating StartingPoint were transformative for Dr. Oksol’s firm, leading to:

• Increased Efficiency: With everything accessible in a single platform, Dr. Oksol’s team could devote more time to client-facing activities and strategic planning, boosting productivity.
• Enhanced Client Satisfaction: Clients appreciated the organized, transparent experience StartingPoint provided, making it easier for them to view and track their progress, goals, and tasks.
• Simplicity in Implementation: StartingPoint was easy for her team to adopt and use, requiring minimal onboarding time and allowing them to quickly begin reaping the benefits of streamlined operations.

Client Feedback: Reflecting on the impact of StartingPoint on her business, Dr. Oksol noted:

“As a consultant and coach of several clients it was difficult for me to manage everything occurring across multiple software apps. StartingPoint fixed that for us. It enabled us to have one central location of all communication, projects, goals, task lists, and client files to share with our clients and with other team members. Simple to use. Easy to implement. It has created efficiency and higher client satisfaction for our firm.”
