How FasterWay Coaches Boost Community Engagement with SocialGlow

SocialGlow is a game-changer for Fasterway coaches, whether they're just starting out or have years of experience. It's revolutionizing the way they support their clients and achieve long-lasting results. We had the pleasure of speaking with two passionate Fasterway coaches who shared how SocialGlow is the missing puzzle piece for their business and their clients' weight loss journeys.

What stood out the most during our conversations was how incredibly user-friendly SocialGlow is, both for the coaches and their clients. And let's be honest, as a coach; You don't want to waste precious time trying to figure out a complicated program on the back end. You want a platform that allows you to focus on what matters most: being there for your clients and providing unwavering support.

That's where SocialGlow comes in. It's designed to make you feel like you're managing a Facebook Group, something we're all familiar with. The best part? It doesn't come with the usual distractions that can sidetrack you. So, you can create a sense of community, effortlessly communicate, and guide your clients without any unnecessary noise. With SocialGlow, it's all about simplicity and effectiveness, making the coaching experience more enjoyable for everyone involved.

Tammy Kuthan, one of the FasterWay coaches we interviewed says:

“I’m a new coach, so I’ve never used any other platform, but I can tell you - for me being a client inside a SocialGlow group to running my own as a coach - I love it! It’s so user-friendly. When I go into the SocialGlow app to look over the topic of the day, or check into sessions I’m not distracted by all these other groups, or comments coming or things coming into my inbox. It’s a one-stop shop app where you can get your work done, check what you need and get out of it without getting side tracked - that’s what I like the most about it”

When it comes to SocialGlow, not only is it a breeze to use, but it also has the power to make goal-crushing a whole lot easier—and way more fun! Say goodbye to the endless scrolling and distractions of social media platforms like Facebook. With SocialGlow, you and your clients can finally experience the joy of practicing online mindfulness. It's like unwrapping a gift that keeps everyone laser-focused on their goals without pesky ads or time-sucking performances.

And here's the best part: SocialGlow isn't just a stripped-down version of other platforms. Oh no! It comes packed with a treasure trove of features to keep your clients engaged, delighted, and ready to go. It's like having a secret hideout where you can gather your fitness warriors and conquer goals together.

So, wave goodbye to the constant distractions and hello to a world of purposeful and engaging interactions.

It's time to unleash the power of SocialGlow and transform how you and your clients achieve success—because who said achieving goals can't be an absolute blast?

Mandy Hanson, the second FasterWay coach we interviewed, explains that SocialGlow is a game changer because promptly getting the appropriate information to her clients is much easier and more efficient.

“For me, SocialGlow has sorta been that missing piece. It’s the platform I can use to relay information to my clients in a really quick and efficient manner. I needed something that my clients were going to very easily download and log into because I didn’t want them to download another app that they couldn’t use all its capabilities.  I wanted something really easy for my clients, but selfishly I wanted something that was easy for me to use too! It’s the perfect marriage. It’s really easy for me to upload my content to my clients and they can get everything they need to know with a click of a button. It’s been a win-win”

SocialGlow’s Amazing Support Team

One of the reasons Tammy would recommend SocialGlow to her fellow FasterWay coaches is our amazing support team!

“The nice thing is that if there are any issues or you have any problems you can just reach out to SocialGlow and you’ll actually get to talk to someone and the problem is solved”

SocialGlow's support team is available 7 days a week, and when you reach out to them, one of our teammates is there to answer any questions, troubleshoot with you AND send your direct requests to our development team.

SocialGlow takes development requests very seriously. For instance, in the interview, Tammy mentioned how much she would love to have the option to send voice clips to her clients through SocialGlow's chat feature. It didn't take long for us to follow through with the request. Now users can use Voice Notes in our chats to provide a personal touch and create a genuine connection between client and coach.

We're constantly updating our software to better serve coaches like you. At SocialGlow, we work very closely with those using our product. It's why we invest in a live support team, and our development and support teams constantly talk to each other. We are making a platform to fit your needs, not have you cram your systems into an unmovable platform that doesn't care about your success. In the last couple of months, we have added Post Watching and Chat Pins to our feature list to accommodate FasterWay coaches to do just that!

Post Watching is a fantastic feature that highlights a specific post, ensuring it stays at the top of your feed as a coach. By enabling Post Watching, you'll receive immediate notifications whenever your members engage with that content. This ensures that you never miss a beat, and your members feel a sense of instant feedback from you, which is a powerful motivator for them to keep showing up and actively participating. After all, if their interactions go unnoticed, it's easy for them to lose interest. We understand that missing these crucial engagement moments isn't because you undervalue them; it's simply because you're bombarded with distractions and notifications from platforms that aren't relevant.

But here's the exciting part: Your clients can also utilize the Post Watching feature, enabling them to receive notifications for the most valuable content on their personal journey. As mentioned earlier by Tammy, one of the incredible advantages of SocialGlow is that your clients can effortlessly enter the space, obtain what they need, and depart without being derailed by distractions. Post Watching is vital in ensuring that your clients receive everything they desire most effectively and efficiently.

In addition, we have another game-changing feature: Chat Pins. Imagine being able to pin important information at the top of your chats so your clients don't have to scroll through a sea of unrelated conversations and irrelevant information to find the key insights you wanted them to see—the ones you deemed most helpful and relevant. This thoughtful gesture demonstrates your understanding of their busy lives and is greatly appreciated by your clients. It shows that you value their time and are dedicated to providing a seamless and convenient experience.

With Post Watching and Chat Pins, SocialGlow empowers you to streamline communication, highlight essential content, and create an environment where your clients can easily access the information they need to thrive on their wellness journey. It's all about enhancing engagement, maximizing efficiency, and showing your clients you're fully invested in their success.

Scheduling Content Made Easy

During Mandy's interview, she candidly shared one of the major hurdles she faced before embracing SocialGlow: the excessive time she spent gathering the necessary content for her clients' program. Whether it was diligently posting every day in a Facebook Group or meticulously scheduling one post at a time using Facebook's scheduler, the process was undeniably time-consuming and inefficient.

“The biggest thing for me was loading the content.  Working with the templates from PostmyParty and preloading everything in there to be posted into my SocialGlow group made everything super easy and fast. Before it would take me hours to set up a new client group once a month. It’s only a little work on the front end, and then with a click of a button, all my templates get scheduled into the new client round group. For 6 weeks, it’s one new post every day. I used to manually post those posts every day on the other platform I was using, but now after initially putting my templates together, I can schedule all my content at once in 5 minutes. It saves me hours and hours every month”

If you've been using PostmyParty to schedule your content in your FasterWay Facebook Groups, here's some exciting news: You can effortlessly transfer all your Templates to SocialGlow! SocialGlow and PostmyParty are part of the same parent company, so if you're already familiar with PostmyParty, you'll be able to schedule your content with the same ease as Mandy. And if you haven't used PostmyParty before, no worries at all! It's incredibly user-friendly, and we provide amazing instructional videos in your user dashboard to guide you through leveraging this feature to its fullest potential.

But that's not all. With SocialGlow, you can schedule six weeks' worth of content with just a couple of clicks. Here's a nifty trick: You can schedule comments on your posts, like being in two places at once! This allows you to boost engagement by sparking conversations or adding helpful reminders to your daily posts.

Creating captivating content within SocialGlow is an absolute no-brainer. Thanks to the Canva integration, while crafting your Templates in the scheduler section of your dashboard, you can easily design stunning graphics directly within SocialGlow itself. Once you're done, your masterpiece automatically gets uploaded into the scheduler. And guess what? Once a Template is created, it stays with you forever, ready to be rescheduled into as many Groups as you desire.

Say goodbye to the headache of figuring out what to post each month and wasting precious time. Now, you can focus your energy on providing unwavering support to your clients. Plus, with everything—content creation, scheduling, and posting—happening in one convenient place alongside your communication and community client hub, you'll experience a newfound level of organization and cohesion. It's a game-changer!

So, whether you're already a PostmyParty pro or eager to explore its capabilities, SocialGlow has got you covered.

How SocialGlow eliminates client strife

Some common grievances among FasterWay clients:

  • Feeling like mere numbers.
  • Dealing with disorganized coaches.
  • Experiencing confusion during the prep week.
  • Encountering lackluster endings to their six-week journey.

SocialGlow strives to address and resolve these concerns so your clients never feel this way.

As a coach, your income is earned by recruiting new clients into your program, and the most effective way to achieve that is through positive word-of-mouth. If any of your clients perceive the coaching aspect of the program as subpar, it reflects poorly on you and your business. You want your clients to enthusiastically proclaim that you helped them succeed when others couldn't. By dedicating the time and effort to make your clients feel supported and valued, you'll witness a steady stream of clients clamoring for your coaching expertise.

SocialGlow is pivotal in ensuring that your clients never feel like mere numbers. Gone are the days of dumping them into a large, primarily inactive Facebook Group. In such groups, clients often feel unheard, overwhelmed by the format, and bombarded with information that doesn't enhance their experience but appears rushed. This lack of personalized attention diminishes engagement and retention, leaving clients uninterested in continuing as VIP members after completing the initial program. However, engagement levels will skyrocket with SocialGlow's dedicated coaching space, where you have complete control over content posts and what your clients see.

In her interview, Tammy expressed how much her clients adore SocialGlow for precisely this reason. They appreciate the curated content tailored specifically to them, free from distractions and noise. In a serene and digitally tranquil environment, your clients will feel genuinely seen and valued, enhancing their overall experience and deepening their connection to your coaching.

“From the user side of things, when I’ve been in other Facebook Groups I found myself not wanting to go into them and engaging because I didn’t want to be there. There was too much going on. But with SocialGlow, all I have to do is go in and get what I need and then I’m out. It’s quick. My clients are saying the same thing too - With Facebook, you get sucked in, with SocialGlow you stay focused”

Tammy is also impressed by how well her VIP Group’s engagement on SocialGlow has grown.

“My retention in my VIP group has been really good 97… 98% - i even had a mentor coach watching over my groups, and she was amazed by how engaged my people are. I think this is because it’s an easy app to get into. You’re not dreading it. You get in and out and life is good.”

Go the extra mile!

Elevate your clients' experience with SocialGlow's Gamification feature, making them feel special. Every action they take within the group accumulates a point value assigned by you. These points are prominently displayed on their profile and contribute to a lively leaderboard visible to everyone. This fosters engagement by igniting a fun sense of competition and provides an automated and enjoyable way to recognize your clients' efforts.

You can manually award points when clients achieve their macro and weight loss goals. Why not infuse excitement with engaging activities rather than settling for lackluster program endings? Consider organizing end-of-program giveaways for those with the highest points or creating a superlative game where you celebrate the top MVPs in the group. These endeavors will foster a sense of camaraderie and motivate clients to continue their journey with you long after the initial six-week program.

Say goodbye to confusion by consolidating all your systems into one convenient place. With SocialGlow, you can effortlessly communicate, support, and coach your clients without jumping between different platforms. By streamlining your operations, you'll have more quality one-on-one time with your clients—personalized attention that makes a difference in their experience and encourages them to become enthusiastic advocates for your coaching business.

Experience the power of SocialGlow, where gamification, seamless communication, and consolidated systems converge to create an unforgettable coaching journey for you and your clients.
