What you'll learn

By the end of this course, you'll be able to

  • Know which jobs belong in Basecamp and which are faster on your phone
  • Find your way around the sidebar, the client grid and the panels that open from the right
  • Sort the client grid by least recently active and act on who surfaces
  • Read the stats on a client card, including what engagement and the Academy figure mean

Before you start

  • A Workout Titan Coaching account
