This tech stack is designed for online coaches who want a simple, professional system to attract clients, manage relationships, deliver coaching, and stay consistent — without juggling dozens of disconnected tools.
1. Website & Core Platform
Recommended approach: WordPress-based website
Why:
WordPress gives coaches full control over content, SEO, and growth without locking them into expensive platforms.
Typical setup includes:
- Homepage (clear positioning)
- Services / Coaching page
- Book a Call page
- Blog or resources section
This becomes the central hub that everything else connects to.
2. Scheduling & Discovery Calls
Recommended tools: Calendly or TidyCal
Use case:
Allow prospects to book discovery calls without email back-and-forth.
Best practices:
- Link directly from website and emails
- Set buffer times
- Send automatic reminders
This alone can significantly increase booked calls.
3. Video Coaching & Live Sessions
Recommended tools: Zoom or Google Meet
Use case:
- 1:1 coaching sessions
- Group coaching calls
- Recorded workshops
Zoom is preferred for structured programs and recordings, while Google Meet works well for simpler setups.
4. Email Marketing & Lead Nurturing
Recommended tools: AI Alpha Hub, MailerLite or ConvertKit
Use case:
- Welcome sequences
- Weekly insights or newsletters
- Course or program follow-ups
Approach:
Email is used to build trust gradually, not push sales aggressively. Short, consistent emails perform better than long campaigns.

Recommended tools:
- AI Alpha Hub Sales Follow-Ups
- HubSpot (free tier)
- Or a lightweight custom CRM approach
