ARE YOU READY TO SCHEDULE MORE APPOINTMENTS WITH PROSPECTS AND CLIENTS?

If so, you may be ready to implement an appointment scheduling software into your online business.

What is Appointment Scheduling Software?
Appointment scheduling software makes it easy for your prospects and clients to schedule bookings (appointments) with you 24/7.   You'll cut down on time, increase productivity and will no longer have to exchange multiple emails or phone calls to schedule an appointment, or chase your clients to pay for your services. 

How do Appointment Scheduling Software solutions work? 
To use appointment scheduling software, you integrate it with your online calendar, create the different bookings you want to offer, set scheduling preferences and share your online scheduling calendar with prospects and clients.

When someone uses your online scheduling calendar, they can select the type of booking they want to schedule. They can view your real-time availability and self-book their own appointments. If the booking requires payment, it prompts them to pay prior to scheduling. The calendar will convert the appointment to their time zone and send them a confirmation that allows them to add the appointment to their calendar and reschedule or cancel the appointment if needed.  

How do Online Marketers use Appointment Schedule Software solutions?

You can use appointment scheduling software to make it easy to schedule appointments with your prospects and clients, and to charge for services such as coaching, consultations, live training sessions, group workshops, etc.

You can create custom client intake forms to collect everything you need to know about a client prior to booking an appointment. 

You can customize your calendar with your branding colors and embed your calendar on your website, landing pages, sales pages, and inside of digital products.
