    Most coaches don't struggle because they lack skill or clients. They struggle because their client onboarding system is fragmented, manual, and exhausting.

    In this video, I explain why Paperbell doesn't use invoices and why that's actually a feature, not a flaw. I walk you through exactly how getting paid works inside Paperbell and show how this automated flow replaces invoices entirely.

    After 5 years as a Tech Strategist, I kept seeing the same issue: too many disconnected tools creating unnecessary friction for coaches and clients. Paperbell was built to fix that.

  • Paperbell vs Everything Else Coaches Are Using

    Choosing the "best" backend tool for your coaching business isn't actually about features, it's about what problem the tool was designed to solve.

    In this video, I break down Paperbell vs the other popular tools coaches are using, including Calendly, Kajabi, Dubsado, and HoneyBook, and explain why so many coaches feel frustrated with tech even when they're using "good" software. Most of the time, the issue isn't the tool itself, it's a mismatch between the tool and the business model.

    Instead of doing a boring feature-by-feature comparison, I zoom out and help you think about your actual goals as a coach. Whether you sell 1:1 coaching, group programs, courses, or digital products, each of these tools was built for a different purpose, and choosing the wrong one creates unnecessary complexity, manual work, and overwhelm.

    In this video, you'll learn:
    ✅ The key question to ask before choosing any backend tool
    ✅ Why Calendly, Kajabi, Dubsado, and HoneyBook aren't wrong, just often misused by coaches
    ✅ The difference between tools built for coaches vs service providers or content creators
    ✅ Why "tool stacking" creates more problems than it solves
    ✅ What makes Paperbell different from other platforms coaches use
    ✅ How to choose a backend tool based on what you want to sell

    Paperbell is my go-to recommendation for coaches because it was built specifically for coaching, not just scheduling calls, not selling courses, and not managing custom service proposals. It's designed to help coaches sell programs, onboard clients, and manage sessions in one place without unnecessary complexity.

    If you're still unsure which tool fits your business, I recommend watching my previous video where I break down the 5 essential backend components every coaching business needs. Once you understand that framework, choosing the right tool becomes much clearer.
