So you're ready to book some coaching sessions!

First, you will need a calendar.
Wondering what booking system can you use?
Podia integrates with several popular scheduling platforms, including Calendly, Acuity, YouCanBookMe, and SavvyCal, or use your own custom link.

There are two ways to set up your sessions:
- The simplest way is to add a button linking directly to your scheduling system, and keeping payments in your booking system ON, so you can collect payment and book clients directly through your calendar without using the Podia feature and without needing to do the integration. Your autoresponders are configured in your booking system.
- Alternatively, you can use Podia's coaching event feature, but it is designed more for single sales or packages than regular appointment bookings. Customers pay first (in Podia), then select a time in the calendar you've integrated (one appointment or multiple). In this case, payments are turned OFF in your calendar. If you'd like to give clients the ability to purchase repeat sessions of the same coaching product, you can set an access duration for the product (e.g. 1 day) to allow for repurchasing the same product again and book more sessions. If so, add a disclaimer on the sales page that the session needs to be booked within 24 hours. Your autoresponders are configured in your booking system.  For more information, you can watch this coaching tool walk through in this video and this on how to create a coaching session.

If you decide to go with the second option, follow the steps below:

Finally, on your Coaching page, insert a top Image block for the banner, a text block to describe your offering, a product block where you will select the Coaching session product(s) you set up earlier. We also suggest inserting a grid to list the top 2 or 3 benefits of working with you, or to add testimonials. You can use another text block to dive deeper. Option to add your Bio block and create a new FAQ for this page.
