Gutter Installation and Cleaning

Imagine you’re on the job, up on the ladder, in the middle of a gutter cleaning or repair, and you get a phone call about scheduling an appointment for another client.  Since you’re attentive to the needs of your clients, you come down off the ladder, walk to your truck, and pull out your planner to schedule an appointment for the following Monday.  You end up chatting with your client for 10-15 minutes before hanging up the phone.  As you’re on your way back to the ladder to finish the job, your phone rings again.  It’s the same client that just called asking “are you available next Tuesday, instead?”  Now you’re on your way back to the truck, making for a sluggish repair time and a disgruntled customer.

Wouldn’t it be great if there was a way to let clients see your schedule in real-time and book appointments online instantly?  Well, with ScheduleThing, it is a reality.  ScheduleThing is an online booking service that gives you a customized site for your gutter installation and cleaning business that lets customers schedule appointments without making a phone call that drags you away from your tasks.  You and your customers receive instant email notifications the moment there’s a cancellation, rescheduling, or new appointment. You can also opt to send your clients reminders, so missed appointments or no-shows at the site of repair are a thing of the past.

This spring let ScheduleThing ease your scheduling worries. Happy Scheduling!

If you’re in the real estate business, you know that your job’s success hinges on two things: your ability to successfully manage your listings and your ability to keep your showings organized to maintain your reliable reputation.

Everyone is going green, and you couldn’t be happier. Not only do you feel passionately about the environment, but business is good and you’re keeping busy. Whether you work for a consulting company or a installation business, you know how important it is to keep a schedule during the busy seasons. Phone calls start rolling in and you want to fit as many clients in as possible without stretching yourself too thin. 

This is isn’t as easy at it seems. Especially during stressful times, miscommunication is bound to come up. You may forget to call a company back one too many times, and you eventually lose the client and valuable business. Or maybe you frantically wrote down a referral in the car on the way to work, thinking you would remember to pencil them in the schedule. You forget, and they move on to another company.

Home Inspection

A house is a huge investment—one of the biggest we make in our lifetime. As an inspector, you know this means that a buyer wants to know everything. They want to know about every leaky pipe, moldy wall and sneaky rodent before they shell out thousands of dollars. Nobody wants to buy a home and find out later they need tons of maintenance.  

That’s where you come in. Potential homeowners rely on you to do a thorough inspection, and oftentimes, they want it done as quickly as possible. You’ve got to keep your schedule straight, and your reputation is on the line if you miss an appointment or double-book your day. The problem is, with so many phone calls and voicemails, it can be difficult to stay organized. Things come up, and sometimes it’s a challenge to keep up. Families call to cancel and reschedule, and some just forget to call. Sometimes it’s a mess to deal with, and any confusion slows you down and makes you appear less reliable.

Tree Service

Others will strike with little or no warning—like a tree that falls on a power or through the fence of a house. Either way, it’s your job to be prepared for any scenario, and that means keeping an organized schedule. If you double-book your services or forget to respond to a voicemail, your reliability and your business are questionable.
