🚀 Getting Started

Your First 5 Minutes

When you open a conversation and the Client Concierge activates for the first time, it walks you through a four-phase setup. No technical knowledge needed — just talk to it like a person.

1
Welcome & Overview

60-second plain-language intro of what the concierge does — tracks clients, preps you for calls, follows up after sessions, spots patterns, and checks in between sessions.

2
Your Profile Setup

One question at a time: your name, timezone, currency, meeting platform, default session cadence, voice profile (optional — paste an example email), and programs you offer.

3
First Client Onboarding

Walk through adding your first client conversationally. Share whatever you have — form data, notes, or just tell it about them. It fills in the rest and asks 1-2 smart follow-ups.

4
Capabilities Tour

Learn the natural-language triggers: "Prep for Sarah", "Who needs attention?", "I just got off a call with Marcus". No commands to memorize — just say what you need.

🔄 Client Lifecycle 7 modules
01
Client Intake & Onboarding
Onboard new clients via chat, form data, or discovery call notes
Intake Screening Onboarding

What It Does

Collects client information from three possible sources — a completed intake form, discovery call notes, or a live chat-based intake conversation. All sources merge into a single client profile with contact info, goals, screening results, program enrollment, personality notes, initial milestones, and a welcome email draft.

Three Intake Modes

  • Form + Notes — Paste intake form responses and/or discovery call notes
  • Chat-Based — The concierge runs the intake as a conversation, one question at a time, adapting to responses
  • Hybrid — Form fills the basics, follow up with conversational deep-dive on gaps

Modality Support

If you use specialized frameworks (GNM, NLP, somatic, etc.), add modality-specific intake questions and analysis layers. Configure during setup or say "I use [modality]" any time.

Say This To Trigger

New client [name] Onboard [name] I just signed [name] Run the intake questions for [name]
02
Interactive Dashboard
Pipeline, clients, sessions, milestones, revenue — all in one HTML hub
Pipeline Tracking Revenue

Dashboard Views

  • Pipeline — Kanban-style cards by stage (lead → discovery → active → paused → completed → alumni)
  • Active Clients — Table with status, next action, sessions, staleness
  • Client Profile — Deep-dive: intake data, sessions, commitments, comms history, milestones
  • Sessions — Chronological log across all clients
  • Milestones — Overdue / this week / upcoming / completed
  • Comms Log — All emails and touchpoints, filterable
  • Revenue — Pipeline value, active revenue, forecasting
  • Marketing — Testimonial bank, language vault, campaign drafts
  • Accreditation — Coaching hours log, competency tracker

Staleness Auto-Alerts

Clients are automatically flagged when they go quiet: leads after 3 days, discovery after 5, active after 5, paused after 30, completed after 30, alumni after 60.

Say This To Trigger

Show me the dashboard Who needs attention? Add [name] as [stage] Move [name] to [stage]
03
Session Prep
One-page briefing before every coaching call
Prep Briefing Proactive

What It Builds

A concise brief containing: client snapshot (stage, program, session count), last session summary, open commitments (client + coach) with status, upcoming milestones, personality notes and flags, health score with dimension breakdown, and a suggested opening question.

When It Fires

On command when you say "prep for [name]" — or proactively when it detects an upcoming session (with GATO Calendar integration).

Say This To Trigger

Prep for [name] Brief me on [name] I have a call with [name] in an hour
04
Post-Session Follow-Up
Structures notes, drafts the email, updates everything
Follow-Up Email Notes

What It Produces

  • Structured session record (topics, commitments, next focus, flags)
  • Personalized follow-up email in your voice
  • Updated dashboard entry (session logged, commitments tracked)
  • Flagged items for next session prep
  • Comms log entry for the email

Input Format

Accepts anything — stream of consciousness, bullets, voice transcript, or raw brain dump. The concierge structures it all.

Email Rules

Subject line references something specific from the session — never "Great session!". Tone matches your voice profile. Commitments as bullet points for easy reference. Always shown for approval before sending.

Say This To Trigger

Just got off a call with [name] Follow up with [name] Log this session
05
Comms Log
Full history of every email and touchpoint, per client
Tracking History

What Gets Logged

Every outbound communication: follow-up emails, check-in messages, welcome emails, resource shares, and custom messages. Each entry records the date, type, subject, channel, status (drafted/sent), and summary.

Where It Surfaces

  • Client Profile view — per-client communication timeline
  • Comms Log view — filterable across all clients
  • Session Prep briefs — recent communications included
  • Staleness calculations — last comms date factors in
07
Program Progress & Lifecycle
Auto-detected phases from onboarding through transition
Progress Lifecycle Renewal

Lifecycle Phases

  • Onboarding (first 15%) — Extra touchpoints, intake follow-up, expectation-setting
  • Active Coaching (15-75%) — Steady cadence, milestone tracking, commitment cycles
  • Acceleration (75-90%) — Push toward remaining milestones, celebrate wins
  • Transition (final 10%) — Renewal/upsell conversation flag, alumni planning

Renewal Alerts

When a client enters the Transition phase: "[Name]'s program ends in [N] days — have you discussed what's next?" Surfaces in dashboard, session prep, and morning brief.

Session Cadence Tracking

Learns each client's session pattern from history and flags when a session is overdue based on their actual cadence — not just the generic staleness threshold.

09
Mid-Cycle Check-Ins
Cadence-aware touchpoints between sessions
Proactive Check-In

Check-In Types

  • Commitment Check — "How's [specific commitment] going? Any blockers?"
  • Milestone Nudge — "Your [milestone] is coming up — how are you feeling about it?"
  • Warmth Touch — Light, non-work message when client has been quiet or flagged as stressed
  • Resource Share — Follow up on something promised or relevant to their current work

Timing

For weekly clients, a mid-week check-in on day 3-4. For bi-weekly clients, around day 7. Adjusts to each client's actual cadence.

10
Re-Engagement Protocol
Structured sequences for stale, paused, and alumni clients
Re-Engagement Alumni

Approach By Situation

  • Stale Active Client — Gentle check-in → direct outreach → concern message
  • Paused Client — Periodic warm touchpoints → "thinking of you" → re-activation offer
  • Alumni — Quarterly check-ins → share relevant content → referral ask → re-enrollment opportunity

Each approach follows a structured sequence rather than just flagging staleness — it actually gives you the messages to send at each step.

06
Client Health Score
Computed 0-100 score across four engagement dimensions
Analytics Health Risk

Four Dimensions

  • Engagement (30%) — Session consistency, recency of last touchpoint
  • Commitment Follow-Through (25%) — % of commitments completed on time vs. missed
  • Milestone Velocity (25%) — Are milestones being hit on time, ahead, or behind?
  • Relationship Warmth (20%) — Comms frequency, response patterns, flag history

Score Ranges

  • 85-100 (Green) — Thriving. Engaged, hitting targets, relationship strong
  • 65-84 (Yellow) — Attention needed. One or more dimensions slipping
  • Below 65 (Red) — At risk. Multiple dimensions flagging

Where It Appears

Pipeline cards (color-coded dot), active clients table, client profile header, session prep briefs (with dimension breakdown), and proactive alerts when scores drop.

08
Patterns & Themes Tracker
Identifies recurring behavioral, emotional, and progress patterns
Patterns Intelligence

What Gets Tracked

  • Topics the client consistently gravitates toward or avoids
  • Emotional patterns — confidence spikes on certain topics, hesitation on others
  • Commitment patterns — always hits content deadlines, delays pricing work
  • Energy patterns — high energy in first half of sessions, lower in second
  • Growth trajectory — breakthroughs, plateaus, regressions

How It Works

Begins after 3+ sessions with a client. Each session record can include pattern notes. Over time, these accumulate into a persistent patterns array that surfaces in session prep briefs — so you always know what's trending.

11
Screening & Red Flags
Automated fit scoring, prospect ranking, and ongoing flag monitoring
Screening Red Flags Fit

Fit Score Dimensions

  • Goal Clarity (1-5) — How well-defined are their objectives?
  • Readiness (1-5) — Are they ready to commit and act?
  • Coachability (1-5) — Are they open to guidance and growth?
  • Alignment (1-5) — Do their needs match what you offer?

Red Flag Detection

  • Hard flags — Crisis signals, unrealistic expectations, pattern of coach-cycling
  • Soft flags — Vague goals, external locus of control, mismatched expectations

Ongoing Monitoring

Screening doesn't stop at intake. Watch for emerging red flags in session patterns, commitment behavior, and communication — surfaced in session prep briefs.

12
Quantifiable Progress Metrics
1-10 ratings + percentage-based improvement tracking
Metrics Data Ratings

Two Tracking Systems

  • Self-Report Ratings (1-10) — Clients rate themselves on customizable dimensions (confidence, clarity, stress, momentum) at intake, every N sessions, and at program end
  • Percentage-Based Improvement — For measurable outcomes (revenue, anxiety level, content output), tracks absolute changes and calculates improvement percentages

Where Metrics Appear

Client profile (progress charts), session prep briefs, pattern analysis (cross-referencing with sessions), and the testimonial engine (aggregate stats for marketing content).

Say This To Trigger

How is [name] progressing? Rate check for [name] Show me [name]'s numbers
13
Testimonial & Marketing Engine
Extracts testimonials, mines client language, generates marketing content
Testimonials Marketing Content

Three Capabilities

  • Testimonial Extraction — Every follow-up is scanned for testimonial-worthy moments: client wins, before/after contrasts, emotional breakthroughs. Quotes stored with context, flagged for approval, consent-tracked
  • Language Mining — Builds a database of exactly how real clients describe their problems (pain language), desires, objections, and transformations. Marketing gold
  • Campaign Generation — Pull from testimonial bank and language vault to generate social proof posts, transformation stories, case studies, and objection-handling content

Aggregate Intelligence

Common roadblocks, common breakthroughs, average improvement stats, success rate metrics — across all clients. Real data that powers real marketing.

⚙️ Customization

Everything Is Configurable Through Conversation

You don't need to edit code or configuration files. Just tell the concierge what you want changed — it handles the rest. Here's what you can customize:

📋 Pipeline stages — rename, add, reorder
⏱ Staleness thresholds — per-stage timing
📝 Custom intake questions — per program
🎯 Milestone templates — defaults for new clients
📅 Session cadence — default + per-client
✉️ Onboarding email sequence — add/remove/reorder
🎤 Voice profile — paste an email to teach your tone
⚖️ Health score weights — adjust dimensions
🎨 Brand colors — update CSS variables
💰 Currency & timezone — user config
🔬 Modalities — GNM, NLP, somatic frameworks
📊 Progress dimensions — add tracked metrics
🔍 Screening thresholds — fit score cutoffs
🏅 Accreditation body — ICF, NBHWC, etc.
🔒 Marketing consent defaults — testimonial use
💳 Billing defaults — payment structure
🔧 Troubleshooting & Tips
The dashboard isn't updating after I add a client
After the concierge processes a change, it should regenerate and save the dashboard file. If you're not seeing updates, say Show me the dashboard or Update the dashboard — this triggers a fresh save. Make sure you're refreshing the HTML file in your browser after each update.
I want to change my voice profile for follow-up emails
Just say Here's how I write emails and paste an example — or describe your tone (warm and casual, professional and direct, etc.). The concierge will update your voice profile and use it for all future email drafts. You can update this any time.
Can I use this for multiple coaching programs?
Yes. During setup (or any time after), tell the concierge about your programs: I run two programs — a 3-month Kickstart and a 6-month Accelerator. Each program can have its own default milestones, intake questions, session cadence, and pricing. Clients are tagged to their program and tracked accordingly.
The health score seems off for a particular client
Health scores are computed from four dimensions. If the score feels wrong, check which dimension is dragging it down: say Show me [name]'s health breakdown. You can also adjust the weight of each dimension — for example, if milestone velocity matters less for a particular client type, say Reduce milestone weight to 15% for this client.
How do I move a client through pipeline stages?
Just say Move [name] to active or [Name] is now in the discovery phase. The concierge updates their pipeline stage, adjusts staleness thresholds accordingly, and triggers any stage-specific automations (like onboarding emails when moving to active).
I use a coaching framework (GNM, NLP, etc.) — does this support it?
Yes. Say I use GNM (or NLP, somatic, etc.) and the concierge adds modality-specific intake questions, screening layers, and tracking dimensions to your setup. Each modality can have its own analysis framework and custom metrics that integrate with the existing progress tracking system.
Can I export or back up my client data?
All your data lives in the client-concierge.html file — specifically in the DATA block at the top. This file is your database. To back up, simply copy the HTML file. To export client data in another format, say Export my client data as JSON or Give me a spreadsheet of all my clients.
What happens when a conversation session ends?
Your data persists in the HTML file between sessions. When you start a new conversation, the concierge reads your existing dashboard file, checks for stale clients and overdue items, and gives you a brief greeting with anything that needs attention. Nothing is lost between sessions.
I want to track something custom — like a specific metric
Say Add a progress dimension called Revenue or I want to track anxiety levels for my clients. The concierge adds it to your progress dimensions, starts collecting ratings at configured intervals, and includes it in progress reports and session prep briefs.
