Add your first client

The 3-step flow for adding a client: their information, optional intake details, and assigning first assessments.

Written by Aaron Batchelder

Adding a client takes about a minute. You'll enter their basic details, optionally capture intake information, and (if you like) assign their first assessments in the same flow — your client is automatically emailed everything they need.

Before you start

All you need is your client's name and email address. Use the email address your client actually uses — it's where their assessment invitations will be sent, and it's how their assessment results get connected back to your workspace.

Each email address can only belong to one client in your workspace. If you enter one that's already in use, you'll see "A client with this email already exists." — and if that client is archived, "A client with this email already exists but is archived. Unarchive them to reactivate this client."

Step 1 — Client information

  1. Go to Clients in the sidebar.

  2. Click + New (top right).

  3. Fill in your client's First name, Last name, and Email address.

  4. Optionally add Tag(s) to group and organize your clients (for example "Executive", "Career change", "Q3 cohort"). Type to search existing tags or create a new one.

Step 1 — client information

Click Continue.

Step 2 — Intake details (optional)

Capture anything useful for your coaching relationship — you can always fill this in later from the client's profile:

  • Goal(s) and Primary challenge

  • Industry, Years of experience, Career stage

  • Referral source

  • Additional notes

Step 2 — optional intake details

Click Next (or skip straight through — everything here is optional).

Step 3 — Assign assessments (optional)

Select any assessments you'd like your client to start with:

Step 3 — assign assessments

A few things to know:

  • Paid assessments (like the Values Bridge) are billed to your account at the end of the month — your client is never charged.

  • The moment you click Complete, your client automatically receives an email with access to their assessments and step-by-step instructions. See What your client receives.

  • Not ready to assign anything? Leave everything unselected and click Complete — you can assign assessments anytime from the client's profile.

  • Has your client already taken the Values Bridge? Don't assign it again — leave this step empty, click Complete, and then request access to their existing result from their profile. See Add a client who has already taken the Values Bridge.

Your new client now appears in your client list with an Active status.
