Do you want people to be able to book appointments with you automatically online right into your calendar?
Tired of the difficult back and forth with emails, texts, or phone calls to find a good time?
Your solutions is to set up a booking service. The easiest scheduling platform in my opinion is Calendly.com.
- 24/7 online scheduler that helps your clients book appointments during specific free times in your calendar
- You don’t have to be there for them to book with you
- Get bookings easier, right away, automatic, so you can spend your time serving clients not trying to schedule them
Let’s do it
Here are the simple steps
- Set up an account at calendly.com
- FREE vs. Paid Pro account
- The free account is an awesome way to go, and for many people, that is all you need
- Paid accounts let you have many events and get paid right in the scheduler
- Connect with Google Calendar
- Part of the setup process is connecting your calendly account with your google calendar
- This means that the scheduler will check the calendar to make sure there are some free times available
- Then when the appointments are booked, they will go right into your calendar
- Create an appointment
- Once your account is set up, simply go right to your dashboard and create your appointments (there will likely be some default appointments already set up for you, so you can edit them)
- Set up payment
- You can collect payments in so many ways. You can require people to pay before you send them the link. Or ask them to pay after they have booked a time with you. You can do all that with the free account
- Pro account – the ability to collect payment in Calendly at the time of booking is a paid service and starts at $12 at the time of writing this
- Connect to Stripe or PayPal – if you have a pro account, you will then need to connect a payment system like PayPal or stripe
- Share the link
- There are many ways to share your link with your potential clients. Here are some ideas
- Website
- Post
- Business listing
- Text…
- There are many ways to share your link with your potential clients. Here are some ideas
- Emails and reminders
- When someone books with you, you will get an email and they will get an email
- You can also arrange in the settings for them to get reminder emails
