Motion Course Summary

Motion Course Summary

Your Motion Account Set Up, Fast.

I see you, you're a "let's cut to the chase" type of person (we are too).

You've tried project management software in the past: Asana, ClickUp, Monday...and now you've found Motion. You see there's something unique about this software. It's not like the others. The idea of having your entire team living and breathing by their calendar just makes sense.

Sign me up.

Perhaps when you first heard of Motion, you even wondered:

"why didn't anyone think of this sooner?"

With setting up any software, there's a learning curve, you know that, you've been here before.

But this time you want to fast track that learning curve as fast as possible, (like in about an hour kind of fast).

You don't want to set up Motion just "winging it", then spend time training your team, only to find out months later that you weren't using it quite right or getting the most out of it. That'd be a major waste of time, and you—you value your time.

We're similar, which is why we created this training to be:

  1. Jam packed with value - no fluffing about here.
  2. To the point - once you get through the 4 minute intro, you're in full tutorial mode for the entire hour for setup. Pause and implement as you watch. Even with pausing, you should be able to set up your Motion account for your team in under 5 hours. We just added 4 new modules covering AI employees (for legacy Motion customers only, as it's now deprecated) but think of that as the sugar on top!
  3. Real - we show you inside OUR Motion account. Our promise to you is that this isn't a "let's give hypothetical examples and set up a demo account that is so far removed from reality!" type of training. If you were to look over our shoulder today, you'd see Motion is set up exactly the way that we teach you (we eat our own dogfood 🐾).
  4. Nifty - we give you tips on how to use Motion that you won't find anywhere else on the internet. And trust us, they'll save you time!

For the past decade, we've been on the ground floor with hundreds of businesses doing anywhere from $500K-$50M in revenue, helping them find the best path forward with their software choices and internal processes.

We cut our teeth in software implementation—learning a business' processes, mapping them to the right software, building custom integrations to automate manual tasks, and training teams on how to adopt new tools while documenting all the steps to the process.

That being said, we understand a few critical things:

  1. Implementing software is a huge investment. And we're not talking about the subscription cost. We're talking about the opportunity cost of time spent researching, setting up, and training team members on each new tool.
  2. Doing it right from the beginning pays off enormously in the years ahead. We saw time and time again, that teams with efficient processes are less stressed and can actually focus on the strategic areas of the business.

When we started publishing the advice we'd been giving to customers privately, we began receiving messages from teams all over, thanking us for helping them gain clarity.

This shift led us to stop taking on individual clients and focus all our efforts on “software education at scale.” Since then, we've helped nearly 2 million people online with their software choices—and we feel like we're just getting started.
