Metric Templates

Metrics are where the rubber meets the road.

Build a habit, measure a KPI, track a rating, reach for a goal.  I’ve already said plenty on why Metrics, so let me now focus on why Metric Templates.

Metric Templates allow you to template out common Metrics that you’ll be guiding our clients with, meaning you save a few seconds and clicks for each setup.

This is a nice upgrade for coaches.

But the really exciting new possibility here?  Making one or more Metric Templates available to your clients, something they can use to set up a game of something worth tracking.

This, too, saves ’em a few seconds, which is cool.  But the real magic is how you can now effectively showcase a set of things they might want to track and play at.

When you create a collection that is client facing, you are saying in so many words “Here are things you might find worth moving the needle with.  Set in motion whichever you’d like, and I’ll be here to support you in making meaningful progress in those areas.”

That’s a great dimension to the service you offer, and a very distinguishing one at that.

Make some Metric Templates and share ’em with your client, then let ’em know what’s on offer and they’re free to help themselves.  Slick.

To get you started, I’ve put together a Resource Package full of Metric Templates that you can peruse and install.

When you add thumbnails to your Metric Templates, it all comes together as a very compelling collection for your clients:

Choose as many as you like to create however many desired.

Do this well, and your clients will be inspired by all the things you can support them in making progress on.

More importantly, they’ll be delighted to continue working with you for the coming weeks and months as they make that progress.

    Hey John,

    THIS IS AWESOME. Excellent work! This really enables scale and self-service at a whole new level.

    Question…what do you recommend for standardizing metric naming in worksheets so if I have 4 different worksheets it always has the same name for this metric so it will automatically be piped in?

    Thanks Damon! And I’m not sure I understand your question! Just make the names line up for a given Metric / form input that’s meant to pipe into that Metric pair, and I believe that’s all there is to it!
