In a previous Thrive Themes blog post, we explained how you can use a pre-designed landing page template to get your new online coaching clients to book their own \u201cfree consult\u201d appointments<\/a> with you.Now, I thought my tutorial was a pretty slick example of how you can integrate an automated scheduling tool with Thrive Architect<\/a>.But after publishing, one of our readers quickly showed us an even more efficient<\/strong> way to do it by adding Thrive Leads<\/a> to the mix:<\/p>\n

Fitness & Nutrition Coach Stephen Box left us an awesome comment about how he automates his new client scheduling using Thrive Leads<\/a>.<\/p>\n

So are you ready to follow Stephen\u2019s lead and learn how to upgrade your New Coaching Client generation page with a Thrive Leads ThriveBox<\/a> (a popup lightbox that\u2019s triggered on text, image or button click)?Awesome sauce! Read on…<\/em><\/p>\n

A Quick Shout Out To Stephen Box<\/h2>\n

One of my favorite things about working for Thrive Themes is seeing how active and switched on our customers and blog readers are.Case in point, after receiving Stephen\u2019s conversion focused<\/em> comment on how to improve automated scheduling for online coaches with Thrive Leads, I quickly went to investigate his website<\/a> to see how he get’s it done… l<\/em>et\u2019s just say that I was impressed!<\/em>Stephen\u2019s New Client landing page is attractive and quickly streamlines visitors to click on one of his \u201cFree ‘Zero Pressure’ Consult\u201d<\/em> buttons:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

Stephen Box’s New Client Landing Page. Notice how it streamlines visitors to click on his “Free ‘Zero Pressure’ Consult” scheduling buttons as well as his clever use of a “Pros & Cons” Content Block template<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I even noticed that Stephen deployed one of our \u201cPros & Cons\u201d Content Block templates<\/a> to help quickly communicate the value of his offer\u200b!But what happens when you click on one of Stephen\u2019s \u201cFree Consult\u201d buttons? BAM!<\/em> Something so simple, it\u2019s magic:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

When a visitor clicks on Stephen’s “Free ‘Zero Pressure’ Consult” button, it opens a lightbox embedded with his Calendly automated scheduling calendar where new clients can self-book their initial consult call.<\/p>\n

Stephen just uses a blank Thrive Leads Th\u200b<\/span>\u200b<\/span>riveBox<\/a> template embedded with his automated scheduling tool (in his case, Calendly<\/a>).Now that\u2019s a super simple and slick way for online coaches to set up an automated system for their new clients to self-book without ever having to leave the website!Want to see how to set this same system up on your own coaching homepage or New Client Generation page? I know you do so here we go…<\/em><\/p>\n

Improve Your New Client Generation Page Using a ThriveBox<\/h2>\n

Assuming you already have a New Coaching Client generation page published on your WordPress site, you can deploy this auto-scheduling upgrade by creating a new ThriveBox within your Thrive Leads dashboard<\/a>. Choose the \u201cBlank Template\u201d opt-in form lightbox when prompted:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

Select the “Blank Template” option when prompted.<\/p>\n

When the \u201cBlank Template\u201d loads, you\u2019ll see an empty lightbox positioned in the center of your Thrive Leads editor consisting of just a Thrive Leads Element<\/em> with a Background Section<\/em> inside.The editing steps needed to achieve Stephen\u2019s simple self-booking setup go like this…<\/p>\n

First, insert a Custom HTML<\/em> element into the Background Section<\/em> of your blank lightbox:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

The “Blank Template” will load with a Background Section element inside a Thrive Leads Element. You’ll need to add a Custom HTML element inside the Background Section and modify the Margin & Padding settings to be 0 pixels on all sides for each.<\/p>\n

Next, do some quick Margins & Padding<\/strong> styling of your Custom HTML<\/em> element, Background Section<\/em> element, and Thrive Leads Element:<\/em><\/p>\n
