Give SmartMatch a clear goal, distinguish essential requirements from preferences, and explain what is missing from the results. Specific corrections are more useful than repeatedly submitting the same broad request.
- State the outcome you want.
- Add relevant context, such as your current credential or the type of support required.
- Identify essential language, format, eligibility or timing requirements.
- Explain which preferences you could relax.
- Review your Coach profile for outdated information.
For example, “I need a mentor for PCC preparation, not general business coaching” gives a clear correction. Avoid adding unrelated goals to the same request unless you genuinely want support covering both.
If a result makes an unclear claim, read the full details before relying on it. Better matching context cannot supply information the Professional or Event Provider has not provided.
