This in turn breaks therelationship with the loyal customers of the company.As the coaching for one client costs more so many clients are willing to be coached insmall groups of three or four people. Assigning the personal coach for individual client isone of the concern for the clients.Also there is a problem of Scheduling of the clients as well as coach is a time consumingpractice.According to the expanded operations of the business, booker keeper is not able to copethe increased invoice, payments and receipts of the clients.When the client repeatedly visits SGC and asks for the coaching then they do notapproach to the receptionist for the bookings and directly approach coaching specialist .(KusneAnd et.al., 2015) This is also a concern for the business as they are not updatedabout such clients.The company cannot be able to provide support to urgent coaching requirements of thepeople.Existing system fails to collect the payment from most of the customer and thus thisamount then goes to bad debt account. This is one of the major reason which arises theinevitable loss. Current system might get delayed if it checks the credit ratings of thecustomers.The problem of taking group discussion of almost 4 to 5 people within each group.There is also a problem of recognising the invoice number of the client and its assignedcoach. So in current system, it is a time consuming activity for the book keeper as thepayment received by the client is the indication for the payment for the specific coach ofthe particular client.2
