How to grow your payments app with life and business coaches
By SendPay Business · · 2 min read
Life and business coaches work mostly online, selling single sessions, monthly coaching programmes and group courses. Their clients can be anywhere, and many pay in instalments for a programme that runs for several months. A payments app that sends a payment link for a session, takes regular payments for a programme and collects places on a group course can win these coaches, and every client who pays sees your app.
Talk to coaches
Ask coaches you know:
- How do clients pay you today?
- Do you sell monthly programmes or single sessions?
- Do you have clients in other countries?
- Do you run group courses or workshops?
Send a link for every session
A payment link sent with the booking lets a client pay from anywhere, before the call starts.
Take regular payments for programmes
Monthly payments for a coaching programme keep the coach paid on time without chasing, and make the programme easier for clients to afford.
Grow through coaching networks
Coaches often refer clients to each other and run joint workshops and events. One coach on your app can bring others.
