How do I up my show rate?
For the past few months I’ve been running ads for my online service based business. I get about 2 meetings booked every day. I send out an appointment confirmation text and email when the person books a meeting, and then I send out a reminder text 30 minutes before the meeting starts. My show rate was 25% doing this.
Then I started putting “reply YES to confirm the meeting” at the bottom of the appointment confirmation text and that upped the show rate to around 35%. But that’s still too low.
What are ways (short of manually calling every person when they book an appointment ) that I can up my show rate?
It really depends on your line of business. do you provide services, advice consulting or an actual product?
For instance I provide professional Services like building and property assessments and I do charge for my inspections or meetings. That means at the end of the inspection I have a check or a payment in my pocket or bank account.
I also get involved with home inspectors that charge for the inspections upfront before the appointment.
you need to start charging or ask for payment to be able to secure the bookings.
if somebody puts the money down, they’re definitely not going to miss the appointment.
