I'd like to meet:

Businesses and business people who are in need of an Online Appointment Scheduler.
Businesses, Organizations, Schools, Colleges, Trainers and Teachers who are looking to become an affiliate partner or would like to offer a special coupon for friends, Students and Associates.
I am also interested in meeting software companies and programmers who would like to integrate www.BookingCalendar.com into existing software.

TestimonialsThere are lots of online booking systems out there, and at first glance many of them seem to have similar features. But the devil is in the details. We had been using another system for a few years, but kept finding that it just didn't do what we needed. We were always having to change how we offered our services to match what the booking system would support… and the technical support was almost non-existent. After years of frustration we decided we had to find a better solution. We spent weeks researching all the systems we could find, and went through an exhaustive evaluation process with each one that looked viable. Eventually we settled on Booking Calendar. It was the only system that met all of our needs out of the box, and was flexible enough to allow us to run our business our way.

The unexpected bonus – something one can never evaluate from a trial period – is that the technical support has been outstanding. We get informed, intelligent answers to all of our questions… quickly.

After looking at pretty much every system out there, I'm really satisfied with our choice to go with Booking Calendar.

At Ontario College of Health & Technology we require booking software for our student massage therapy clinic that can accommodate multiple therapists and users. Booking Calendar is a phenomenal product that satisfies all our needs. From scheduling appointments over the phone and online, to cancellation lists, gift certificates, and even scheduling student outreaches. Booking Calendar has thought of everything. The program is easy to use and their customer service is first rate. I would highly recommend this product.

Being a hair stylist, it has always been my policy not to talk on the phone while I am with a client. It distracts from the personal attention the customer is paying for; however, in return, I would be stuck for two to three hours daily returning phone calls. This was such a time constraint. Then I found www.book27-7.com. In January 2005 I implemented this system into my business. Over the course of the past year and a half, I have had more than 600 registrations to my website. My clients love the service. The main complement that I hear the most is how much they enjoy the fact that my schedule is directly in front of them. They can then compare it with their schedule. As well, it is convenient for them since they can access the system anytime of the day or night and anywhere in the world! Overall, this system has been a wonderful investment and has really saved a tremendous amount of time.

How to put an End to Phone-Tag and Boost Your Bottom Line

This is one of the recent articles from Massage Magazine ( www.massagemag.com ), in Issue 122/June 2006:

".... For someone who charges $60 per appointment, a daily missed appointment equals $300 in lost revenue per week and $15,000 in lost revenue each year.
In short-term cost of missed appointments is easier to measure then the long-term costs of customers who stop calling as the result of an inability to reach you on the first call...."

I first tried Book 24-7 in June of 2005 and decided to go with the service the following month. Today, 10 months later, I can honestly say it is one of the best business decisions I've ever made. In less that a year we have well over 400 people booked onto the system and the practitioners here are consistently booked 3-4 weeks in advance. Over 80% of our clients use the system including the ones I thought might not.

It has revolutionized the business and saved countless hours of phone time.

I've been able to monitor the business while away from work if I choose and have connected with clients even while away for extended trips. With so many clients on the email list we can keep in touch very easily.

The service we've received from Max, Adrienne and Shalene has been awesome. They listen, help as soon as possible, and encourage us to offer input for the system.

My heartfelt thanks to Book 24-7 for helping me build my business and free up my valuable time. I just look at the computer monitor and watch the business flow in.

Sincerely,

Time Saving Techniques for Bodyworkers

When operating a massage/bodywork business, the one complaint most practitioners all have is that they miss many telephone calls and potential appointments because they cannot answer the telephone during a treatment.

Some business owners have the luxury of employing a receptionist, but most simply cannot afford it. Hence, playing telephone tag with your clients is often the result.

A new and popular way to schedule appointments is via the internet with online appointment scheduling. Book24-7.com offers your regular clients and potential clients the ability to schedule an appointment with you 24 hours a day, 7 days per week. Once your regular clients get used to scheduling this way, the telephone tag game will end, because it will be easier and quicker for them to make an appointment via your online scheduler.

You can add an online scheduler to your web site, if you have one. However, you don't need a web site to use this type of service. You only need internet access.

Book 24-7 has made an amazing impact for my business as well as my personal life! For 10 years we depended on three different appointment books. We made numerous phone calls to give Massage Therapists their schedules. Now my staff can log on and see where and when their next appointment is. It is an amazing resource for communication between our 4 resort schedules. Adrianne and Max have been wonderful and patient as they adapted their existing database to suit my companies needs. Now I can log onto any computer and view schedules or pull reports.
Thank you Book24-7 for exceptional service!

.. I have grown to be a very busy full-service Hair Salon, who does hair and nail services, and insists on giving one on one service to each individual. This does not leave me time to answer phones, and although I have an answering machine, some days I would receive up to 15 phone calls for bookings. This meant what little free time I had in the evenings was spent returning calls and often playing "phone tag" with people trying to set up appointments. I had a very frustrating and exhausting situation, and something had to be done!
This is where BOOK24-7.COM came to my attention and rescued me!!

As an independent personal trainer, I don't have a receptionist or front desk person to take bookings. I do not feel it is fair to my clients that I answer phone calls during their training sessions. Book24-7.com solves these problems for me. My clients have access to booking an appointment whether I can answer their phone call or not. I don't miss any bookings and my clients don't have the frustration of playing telephone tag to confirm a schedule request. All Personal Trainers should take advantage of this incredible on-line scheduling tool. My business has increased, and my customer service is second to none.
