We all undeniably have hectic schedules, and they\u2019re made even worse with unorganized meetings, impromptu playdates, and unscheduled yoga classes. To move or cancel appointments, your clients would generally have to pick up the phone and call someone, which can be a drag. But with Microsoft Bookings, clients can schedule and effortlessly manage appointments. In case one isn\u2019t enough, here are four more reasons to give it a go:<\/p>\n
Bid adieu to the days of scribbling on post-its and frantically going through your schedule to find out where you\u2019re heading for lunch. Microsoft Bookings provides you with a unique webpage that is compatible on both desktops and mobile devices. Here, customers can select times and dates based on current availability \u2014 simply enter the contact information and then book it! The system fully automates the process of managing your appointments.<\/p>\n
Cancellations and missed appointments mean wasted time slots unless you\u2019re able to fill them up with new bookings. Avoid lost income by controlling how much advance notice is required to make a cancellation. With Bookings, appointments appear immediately in staff calendars and can be added or revised by customers in their own personal calendars. Additionally, a confirmation email is automatically sent to the customer, which is then followed by another automatic email reminder before the appointment time. The web page also offers a rescheduling service: customers can simply click on the link on the confirmation email and pick a time that they\u2019re more comfortable with.<\/p>\n
Once completed, the booking is then synced to a centralized calendar where businesses are given the option to reschedule, cancel, or reassign the appointment to other staff members as they see fit.<\/p>\n
If you do decide to reassign it to staff members, Bookings offers a nifty feature known as \u201csplit view.\u201d This shows which staff members are booked at which times, and you can compare everyone\u2019s schedules side-by-side. The appointments are synced not only to your calendar but to the staff members\u2019 calendars as well. Moreover, this versatile system accommodates Office 365, Outlook, and even Google Calendar, so clients and staff can keep whatever calendaring service they prefer.<\/p>\n
Appointment setting might be the primary goal of Bookings, but the system can also be utilized to build your company\u2019s customer list. Once customers input their information into the system, it automatically creates contact entries for those customers. The contact card contains personal information such as your customer\u2019s name, address, phone number, and email address.<\/p>\n
And, as your company grows, you can add more staff members as well as create additional booking pages for free. Furthermore, staff members aren\u2019t required to have Office 365 subscriptions to be a part of the service.<\/p>\n
