How you manage today

Do these admin problems sound familiar?

Appointments & availability

I have to compare work and personal calendars before I know when I am free.

Client records

Notes and files for each client are scattered, so I have to search for them every time.

Finance & billing

After every lesson, I copy sales figures into a spreadsheet.

With cotobo

Bring those admin tasks together in one place.

Appointments and availability, client information, shared notes, finance and billing all stay connected in cotobo.

FAQ

Questions before joining

What kinds of work is cotobo for?+

It is for people who provide recurring one-to-one services online, including language teachers, instructors, coaches, mentors and consultants.

Can each client have a different rate?+

Can we edit the shared note together?+
