Client Overview

Industry: Business Education & Coaching
Membership Type: High-Volume Business Membership

The Challenge

Managing a membership with 1,000+ members is no small feat – especially when everything is done manually. My client, a business coach running a high-volume membership program, was tracking payments, cancellations, and renewals without the help of any automations.

Without a structured system, keeping tabs on failed payments, expired memberships, and group access quickly became overwhelming. The manual process led to:

🚩 Difficulty identifying members who had missed payments
🚩 Uncertainty around who should still have access to membership resources
🚩 A time-consuming and stressful workflow that made it hard to scale

My client needed a way to organize their member data so they could quickly take action without spending hours searching through spreadsheets or messages.

The Solution

While I recommend automating pieces of your membership, the platforms this client was using made automating anything complex and unreliable. Instead, we built a structured, easy-to-use system that allowed my client to manually manage their membership efficiently. We focused on:

✔ Member status tracking – Creating a clear system that categorized members as active, pending payment, failed payment, or canceled.
✔ Simplified payment monitoring – Establishing a routine for quickly identifying failed payments and sending follow-ups.
✔ Access control management – Ensuring members who canceled or failed to pay were removed from exclusive content, avoiding unauthorized access.

What was included in their membership management system?
✅ A structured manual tracking system for membership management
✅ Clear categorization of active, pending, failed, and canceled members
✅ A streamlined follow-up system for payment recovery
✅ Organized access control to maintain membership integrity
✅ A simplified dashboard for an at-a-glance membership overview

The Outcome

With this system in place, the client was able to:

✅ Save time – Managing 1,000+ members no longer felt chaotic or overwhelming.
✅ Improve member retention – Proactive payment recovery led to fewer lost members.
✅ Stay organized – No more searching through scattered data to figure out who needed attention.

Even without automations, this structured system gave my client full control over their membership, making it easier to manage their growing community with confidence.
