I had a two-week timeline to transfer over from Mindbody into OfferingTree, and I was able to transfer all my people, all their information, without losing a single dollar of revenue.
Garrett Conn, Owner of Conn Human Performance
My business has doubled for sure. It's saving like five hours a week at least - basically cut a whole day off my schedule. That's a four-day work week.
Jenny Finneran, Evolve Power Yoga
We have a traveling teacher now, and I didn't even train her on how to sell things - she was on her own last night and figured out how to do it.
Kay Afif, Co-Owner of Hot Yoga Playa
The OfferingTree support team has been the best experience of any company, any software that I've ever used. They are extremely responsive.
Valerie Kiser, Sunrise Yoga
The whole thing is easy for them [clients], which in turn makes it really easy for me. As an owner it makes things easy because there's no troubleshooting.

Honestly, it was probably one of the best business decisions I made, because it just has made it so much easier for me to manage things.
