An empty appointment slot is a wasted trip and wasted revenue - and it's preventable. Reese confirms every booking at the right time, then requests a review the moment a job is done, while the customer is happiest.
She reaches out with a reminder timed to actually reduce no-shows, not a generic day-before text.
If a customer needs to move the appointment, she handles it immediately instead of leaving it to a game of phone tag.
Once the appointment is complete, she checks back in while the experience is still fresh.
She asks for a review when the customer is happiest, not with a generic blast weeks later.
Her reminders are timed around when they measurably reduce no-shows, not sent on a fixed generic schedule.
A caught reschedule means the appointment slot isn't just abandoned at the last minute.
Review requests go out right after the job, when the customer is most likely to say yes.
