Running a personal service business is one of the toughest gigs an entrepreneur can tackle. We know because that's where we started. Collectively, our founding team has more than fifty years of experience running music schools, martial arts and dance studios, tutoring services, and acupuncture clinics. Yo-Do grew out of that experience.
We've used nearly every major software tool on the market: Salesforce, HubSpot, Dynamics, MindBody Online, Pike13, ZenPlanner, etc. There are some great tools out there. But Yo-Do was built by people who did what you do, who confronted the same challenges you face. So we created business management software that not only manages your pain points, it turns them into opportunities. We're focused on strengthening the bond with your clients, sharpening your services, and becoming a partner in your success. Our story is your story, and we're excited to become a supporting player in your journey.
At the center of Yo-Do's core design is a question. How can we help business owners who are mentors, healers, coaches, and teachers thrive? Your business is to educate, motivate and heal people. However, it's still a business. Your success is indispensable to your ability to help your clients. And your ability to help your clients also feeds your success. It's a harmonious but dynamic relationship. The needs of a solo practitioner are different than the needs of a national chain managing a million customers. Yet they both require one critical trait. Authenticity.
Yo-Do, "the way of being here," is a business management tool laser focused on connecting you with your clients and your service providers because your teachers, therapists, tutors and coaches are critical to your success. We not only take care of you, but your employees and your customers. How can a SaaS business do that? Because our software emerged from the challenges associated with scaling real-world service businesses. Efficiency is important, but so is personality, so is connection, so is adaptability. Understanding that has produced several core insights [link] that distinguishes our software.
