Time spent searching for a piece of paper, file, or phone number, is not just wasted time but also unproductive time. Spending the time to get organized is well worth it, in the end you will save more time. You''ll be less stressed and more in control of your business. News!!

CoachTrack Tips - April 2006.
Tip #3 "System for Recording and Storing Session Notes"
Do you keep notes during your coaching session, then stick them in a file? Or, do you type in notes but can''t find them easily or quickly?
How about using a system that keeps track of your session notes, easily and systematically? Why not make it easier on yourself, and be well organized. The simple solution to this task is to use a client management software, such as CoachTrack. A good software system is versatile; it will allow you to store all your info so that it''s easily found. It will also allow you to see all your client sessions on the computer, show you all previous sessions and recommendations you''ve made. This computerized system will make note taking a snap!
If you already own the CoachTrack software, you''re ahead of the game. CoachTrack is very user-friendly, it''s simple to set up. Here''s how to use the "Enter, Store & Retrieve Resources" features in CoachTrack. If you''re currently using another system, please feel free to compare it to CoachTrack.
To Record Session Notes:
1) On Main Menu, Click "Client Entry" button. 2) You''ll be in the client''s file. Now select "Session Entry" tab.
4) If this is your first session, or the client is new, you need to add a contract first. a) Press the "Add new Contract" (yellow plus sign). b) Click "Contract Type" and choose one.
5) Now click "Add New Session" button (green plus sign).
6) Today''s date and time appears automatically. (this can be adjusted)
7) Type in notes and length of call. To view notes/expand view, click magnifying glass. This shows you a nice big screen with your notes. (no typing in little boxes!)
8) When you exit, session is automatically saved.
