Scaling: From 10 to 100 Clients

Scaling a service business is notoriously difficult. In nutrition, the bottleneck is usually communication. If 50 clients have your personal phone number, you don't have a business; you have a nightmare.

Async Communication

The secret to scaling is "asynchronous" communication. You should not be replying to food photos instantly. Instead, you should have dedicated "office hours" where you review logs in batches. MealCircle facilitates this by gathering all client data into a dashboard, allowing you to review 20 clients in an hour, rather than getting pinged 200 times a day.

The Power of Templates

Stop writing every plan from scratch. 80% of your clients likely fit into 3-4 archetypes (e.g., "Muscle Gain," "Fat Loss," "Maintenance"). Build robust templates for these, and then spend your time customizing the final 20% for the individual. This reduces plan creation time from 2 hours to 15 minutes.
