Book Appointments Like A Boss

Published on
July 19, 2018

If Rick Ross was in the service industry needing to take appointments, I’m 100% certain his scheduling app of choice would be: Book Like A Boss.

Andddd if you don’t get the reference, here you are, you’re welcome.

Few things are more frustrating than the back and forth emailing and texting your clients trying to find a time that works for the both of you.

Not to mention, once you find that time, they have to reschedule and the fun starts all over again – and you still haven’t been paid for any of this!

Yuck.

If you haven’t been paying attention to the internet, I basically just described how client scheduling worked in 1999. Yes, as in when snake was still cool on your Nokia and gas was $1.20/gal.

It’s 2018 now. Get yourself a scheduling app or wreck yourself.

Book Like A Boss is all that and a bag of potato chips (smoky bbq flavor, mhmm)

So how can a scheduling platform help out kitchen designers? Book Like A Boss (BLAB) will make it significantly easier to take appointments. Oh, and you can set up several different appointments.

Think of your current workflow for taking in new potential clients:

  1. Prospect visits your website
  2. They go to your contact page and actually send you a message
  3. You get this message at some point and call them back and email them
  4. Takes a bit to get in touch with them
  5. Finally you two schedule a time for them to visit your showroom for a consultation
  6. They don’t show
  7. You call them back and reschedule this
  8. They finally come to your showroom
  9. You find out they are a qualified customer and schedule an in-home measurement
  10. The rest is $$$

Now, this is how it will work when you’re a boss and using online scheduling software:

  1. Prospect visits your website
  2. They go to your contact page and are presented with your calendar
  3. They immediately find a time and day to visit your showroom, and they answer a couple of pre-qualifying questions
  4. They get a reminder email about their visit and they actually show up
  5. You find out they are qualified and schedule an in-home measurement
  6. The rest is $$$

Boom. I just cut your sales cycle in half. LIKE. A. BOSS.

Yeah, let’s dig into this a little more.

Here’s what you’ll get with Book Like A Boss:

  • Calendar Integration – It connects to all of your calendars so that people can only book the times you are actually available. It works with Outlook, Gmail, Office 365 and iCloud.
  • Confirmation / Reminder Emails - They’re automatic too, soon as an appointment is made, your client will get a confirmation email. Then, a reminder email before the appointment.
  • Tracking - Connect your Google Analytics or Facebook Pixel to track progress and completion and retarget those that have not compelted a scheduling.
  • Support - Excellent support team and an active Facebook group with over 2,700 members to get success tips and help
  • Website Integration - Easily embed your booking page into your website. Skip the contact form. (Try it out here)

Those are the most important features in my humble opinion.

What if super easy client scheduling isn’t enough for you though?

What if you need to get paid for your service? (Greedy!)

You can do that too. With Book Like A Boss, you can get paid during the checkout process.

Do you charge for your in-home measurements? Just setup your service and assign a price to it, connect with either PayPal or Stripe and voila - you can get paid right when they book the appointment.

Hashtag MindBlown.

If this all sounds ridiculously easy, it actually is. Literally all you need to get started is to create an account, choose your page name, set up your available hours, list your services offered, and then BOOM - you’re good to go.

Optional fifth step is to add your payment options if you’re going to require payment to schedule any services.

I forgot to mention that… they have several plan options including a free forever plan.

It’s perfect if you’re just looking to explore what they offer and want to try out their scheduling platform.

The free forever plan includes:

  • Unlimited Appointments
  • Google Analytics
  • Facebook Pixel
  • Zapier Integrations
