.. online booking systems.

In the nature of my job I get upwards of 50 people wanting appointments a week. They come from a Company portal where they register their interest, Facebook, and by phone [from recommendations].

It's quite time consuming trying to get back, give details.,explain criteria, and then fit into diary, and whilst I am probably 'on the road' two and a half days a week, the faffing around with appts. take up two half days.

Ideally I'd like a system where 'prospects' can access my diary, enter their details and book a visit, and also a system that gives alerts to their phone the day before.

I'd happily pay for this service as it would save me a lot of time and hassle, but looking online it seems they're mostly US based and pricey. Also I need to either 'trial' one or speak to someone beforehand.

As usual, this place is utter rubbish for football knowledge but more often than not excellent for un-related wisdom !

Wherever you can get in the US you can guarantee they offer the same service in India for a knockdown price..

You get what you pay for. If you're using an Indian company, you'll also find the data gets used...

Not used it for this sort of thing, just throwing the idea out there.

From a quick Google, would something like https://10to8.com/pricing/ or https://www.appointedd.com/pricing work - or is it that the prospects seeing your diary (like the American https://acuityscheduling.com/) is actually the most important feature?

Yes, I need prospects to be able to book appts in my diary

I was going to post that ( as i know a few window cleaners who use it, they let people book slots for quotes ( after 3pm ) each day, saves all the phone calls )

the free version works well and will do what A Quiet Monkfish wants ( if all the " slots " are the same size / time ) then if that isnt the case, its $8 a month

I have some experience in website design and i could setup a website for you that allows customers to book available appointments that you provide and it will send all the information to you and them automatically

[A Quiet Monkfish]

thanks

Thanks. I'll see if there's an off-the-shelf one that will fulfil my requirements but will get back to you if no joy.

Just for the sake of clarity, I am NOT a window cleaner......
