Why All Business Owners Need A Scheduling App

March 20, 2018 By Mariah Leave a Comment

Scheduling Appointments? There’s an app for that! #bloomhustlegrow #businesstools #automateyourbusiness

In business, you should always be looking for ways to save time and make your day-to-day easier. A super simple way to do that is by using a scheduling app for your appointments. No matter what your business I bet you are scheduling at least a few appointments a month.

Trying to schedule appointments manually is the BIGGEST waste of time. Whether it’s a coffee chat, potential client, or vendor, scheduling meetings with back and forth, emails IS such a colossal waste of time.

The one automation app that all business owners need

Let’s break this down.

Email #1

Hey SoandSo,

Want to have a chat next week and get to know each other businesses? I’m thinking Monday or Thursday are you available?

Sincerely,

Living in the time of pagers (LITOP)

Email #2

Hey Living In The Time Of Pagers

That sounds awesome, but I’m only available after 12 pm on Thursday but could do Tuesday or Friday between 1:00 and 3:00.

Sincerely,

SoandSo

Email #3

Hey SoandSo,

I’m available at 2:00 on Thursday. Totally forgot, what timezone you are in? I’m in PST.

Sincerely, 

LITOP

Email #4

Hey LITOP,

Oh, I’m in EST so 2:00 on Thursday won’t work. What about 3:00 pm that day your time?

Hopefully that will work!

SoandSo

Email #5

Yay! We have a time. Talk to you on Thursday at 3:00 pm!

Sincerely,

LITOP

Finally have a time but didn’t ask how you will reach it other. AND then you forget to pop it in your calendar!

Ok, hopefully, you would remember to ask how to connect and timezone in the first email BUT you might not. And hopefully, you will remember to put it in your calendar. But you might not!

Do you know how you can avoid ALL this waste of time, drama, and unnecessary emails? A scheduling app.

Instead this is what happens:

Email #1

Hey SoandSo,

Want to have a chat next week and get to know each other businesses? Here is my scheduling link.  {BTW that is my discovery call link and if you are curious how I can help you grow your business you can use it to schedule a chat! 😊}

I look forward to chatting soon!

Sincerely,

Professional Who Has Her Shit Together

Email #2 (optional reply)

Hey Professional Who Has Her Shit Together,

I’ve booked a call for next week. Looking forward to getting to know you better!

Sincerely,

SoAndSo

See easy peasy! There is no value in having more emails when a simple link can cut the back and forth in HALF.

If you just need to schedule a few meetings than a FREE account with Acuity or Calendly will make your life so much easier. It only takes a few minutes to set-up, it’s free, and you can sync it to your other calendars.

If you need MORE than just a few meetings read this post about how Acuity will deliver all you need in a scheduler and MORE. I use Acuity to schedule, collect payments, send reminders and more!
