Spot clients who are drifting, and send a re-engagement message

Clients rarely quit suddenly. They miss check-ins first. A simple weekly look at who's gone quiet lets you reach out before they cancel.

Time: 20 minutes to set up, then 5 minutes a weekTool cost: you can start with a free AI tool

Google Sheets or your coaching app, plus a free AI chat tool

Steps

Track each client: last check-in date, sessions missed this month, last message.
Run the prompt below once for the sheet and a message.
Every week, filter for anyone flagged.
Send a personal message, not a sales pitch.

The exact prompt

Copy, paste, then fill in the [brackets]

Build a Google Sheet to spot at-risk coaching clients.
Columns: first name, last check-in date, days since check-in (formula), sessions missed this month, flag "AT RISK" if [14] days since check-in or [2]+ missed.
Then write a re-engagement message (under 70 words) from a personal trainer: noticed we haven't caught up, no pressure, ask how things are going and if the plan needs changing.
Warm, not guilt-tripping.

✓ Check before you send

Messages are personal, not automatic.
Health worries are referred to a GP, not handled by you or AI.
Client data is kept securely.
