Getting started guide - Technical Advisor (Partner Portal)

Welcome to Coachbar! Our platform is designed to assist you in selecting the appropriate software, crafting successful implementation plans, and connecting with seasoned consultants. We have prepared a guide to help you set up your Coachbar account, allowing you to take full advantage of its capabilities.



Signing up for Coachbar

If you're new to Coachbar, you can explore its features by signing up for a free plan. You won't be charged anything, and there's no need to provide credit card information during the trial period.


Here is how you sign up for a free plan


Sign-up for Coachbar using Google or a business email.


Fill in the needed details and create an account.


Check your mailbox for an OTP.


Claiming a profile


Upon entering the correct OTP and clicking the "Next" button, the system will conduct a keyword search in the Coachbar database to check if any companies match the entered company name.

  • If a company profile exists in the Coachbar database, a window of relevant search results will be displayed to help select the appropriate profile to claim as one's own.
  • If a company profile is not found in Coachbar's database, it should be directed to the profile setup page.
  • If the user cannot find a relevant company profile in search results, they can create their own profile by selecting an option. This will take them to an empty Profile setup page.

Company profile

Creating a company profile is an essential task for businesses of all sizes and industries.

It will also help your business stand out among other software providers and consultants, positively impacting its growth.

You now have the ability to effortlessly choose your software proficiency from our categorized list of segments. Add the softwares you are familiar with by clicking the add button. You are welcome to request additional softwares to be listed based on your preferences if they are not listed in our directory.



System Grid 

Now that you have set up your specialization, it's time to choose the expert service that best fits your business needs. System grids are essentially an ecosystem that a software consultant can create for a business. It's the environment in which a software consultant can offer their services. By using the system grid, you can establish a grid that aligns with the services you provide to small and medium-sized companies (SMBs). Our setup process is designed to be user-friendly, with an easy-to-use interface. Once created, these system grids are published on the Coachbar website, increasing visibility for SMBs and enhancing your company's profile.


Services

Here, you can list the software consulting services you provide and select the industries you specialize in. This is an excellent opportunity to showcase your company profile, making it easier for small and medium-sized businesses to choose your services.


Clients

This page allows Software Consultants to add their clients, which are listed on their profile for promotion. Displaying more clients enhances the company profile.



ICP (Ideal Customer profile)


An ICP is a detailed description of the type of customer or company that is the best fit for your service. Creating ICPs will help your business identify and target the most promising prospects and focus your marketing and sales efforts more effectively.
