We’re diving right back where we left off in the last episode, and straight into the many wonders of StudioGo. 

In Episode 370, we’re joined by Katy Homyk, without whom StudioGo wouldn’t have existed. Together, she and John take us through the journey of how this powerful software kept the doors of their studio open and saved Katy from drowning in paperwork. We also dig into the major pain points StudioGo solved for Katy, the high conversion rates they experienced with it (without using any Facebook ads!), and how they use it to train their staff and keep them engaged. 

In this episode you’ll learn:

• What led Katy to the idea of StudioGo, and how it was really built out of necessity 
• The ways that her metrics have shifted since having a specialized software
• How this software has affected Katy’s employees since being implemented
• What to do to start effectively identifying the needs of your clients {and whether to upgrade or downgrade in a client-first approach}
