How do I get advanced training on using Styku as a client consultation tool?
If you've finished your initial Styku training and want to go further, the best next step is to connect with your Styku Customer Success Manager. They can provide advanced guidance on using Styku in client-facing workflows, discussing scan results with confidence, and integrating Styku into your business processes.
What Kind of Advanced Training Is Available?
A Customer Success Manager can help with topics such as:
- How to explain scan results and body composition metrics to clients
- How to use Styku as a consultation and sales conversation tool
- Tips for marketing your scanner and attracting new clients
- How to build Styku into your existing workflows and service offerings
- Business development strategies for getting the most return from your scanner
This type of guidance goes beyond the standard setup and software training available in the Styku Business Portal, and is tailored to your specific business and industry.
Key Concepts to Know Before Your Advanced Session
Familiarity with core body composition concepts will help you get more out of your consultation training. A few important points:
- All body composition results are estimates, not exact measurements — including Styku's 3D body scans. Every non-invasive method uses equations and algorithms to estimate internal composition from external or indirect measurements. Communicating this accurately to clients builds trust and sets appropriate expectations. For tracking progress, consistency in scan conditions (time of day, hydration, clothing, posture) matters more than any single absolute number.
- Key metrics to understand and explain to clients include body fat percentage (the percentage of total body weight composed of fat tissue), visceral fat (fat surrounding the internal organs, associated with elevated cardiovascular and metabolic risk), waist circumference, and waist-to-hip ratio. Practitioners are encouraged to use all three obesity-related risk indicators — waist circumference, waist-to-hip ratio, and body fat percentage — in combination when educating clients about their health status.
- Waist circumference thresholds recognized as indicators of increased disease risk are: greater than 40 inches for men and greater than 35 inches for women.
- Communicating relative risk in plain language is important for client engagement. For example, a client with a 1.7x risk of cardiovascular disease has a 70% increased risk compared to baseline — framing it this way makes the data more actionable during consultations.
