Whether you’re a sports business owner, manager, coach, or trainer, you know firsthand how administrative tasks pile up. Keeping operations running efficiently can be a struggle with all of the tasks that you juggle.
Upper Hand is designed to help your business run more effectively and cater to your business needs. Here are some ways that Upper Hand can assist in making your sports business more efficient.
Upper Hand streamlines all of your operational tasks, resulting in more time for you to train athletes. Features such as scheduling and registration, resource management, marketing tools, payment processing, and more will help you keep your business organized.
An owner of a baseball training academy says this about his experience using Upper Hand:
“With Upper Hand, group training is a lot more possible than without it. And I think with the groups, we can get a 20 to 25 percent revenue increase that we wouldn’t have had. If it wasn’t for Upper Hand, it would be tough to do it because there’s not enough time in the day and it probably would have just burned me out completely.”
Not only does Upper Hand help improve operations, but it also opens up time for you to create more programs, resulting in a revenue increase.
As a sports business owner or coach, your relationships with your clients are very important. There is increasing competition in the sports business world, and the human touch that you bring to the table is what sets you apart from the competition. Many clients or athletes won’t think twice about switching to another training facility if they have a bad experience.
With Upper Hand, you can ensure a seamless booking experience. From a smooth scheduling and registration process to sending automated reminders and marketing emails before your events, to allowing a variety of payment options, your clients will be happy doing business with you. And, with less confusion on logistics, you can spend time getting to know and building relationships with your clients.
Utilize Upper Hand’s education resources when training new staff. If you have front desk staff that often rotates, whether they’re summer employees, high school students, etc, you may find yourself tired from having to train your staff. Upper Hand University is a great way to train your employees without cutting into your busy schedule.
Upper Hand University (UHU) features videos that walk through each software feature. Utilize UHU to train staff how to use Upper Hand, and select the tutorials you need depending on the features you use the most. Take some training tasks off your back with Upper Hand University.

With Upper Hand’s Balances Report you can manage client balances with ease. At first glance, the default filter on the Balances report will reveal any balances greater than zero (i.e. any outstanding balances that you need to collect) on that given day. Here, you can pay down or waive these balances. But, removing the default filter opens a host of additional ways to utilize this report and we’re here to show you how to do just that.

So, what exactly is sales forecasting, and how can you get started for your business? In this article, we’ll dive into these answers.
