Counseling appointment scheduling software
February 7, 2012
Are you looking for a counseling scheduling software? ScheduleOnce is a great counseling appointment scheduling software. It is quick to setup, easy to use and connects to the counselor's calendar. There are many full-blown appointment packages that attempt to automate your entire business but as a counselor there is really no need for that. What you need is an agile and lightweight solution such as ScheduleOnce.
Contrary to other appointment systems that are designed for scheduling service appointments, ScheduleOnce is designed for scheduling personal appointments and this is what makes it such a great fit for counseling.
ScheduleOnce connects to your calendar, allowing you to manage all your appointments in one place. If you want you can look at your work appointments only and if you want you can view all your appointments. It's really up to you but the important thing is that everything is in your calendar and there is no double booking.
The first thing that you will notice about ScheduleOnce is that the user interface is polished and professional. This is not just a matter of look and feel but a strategic decision that was taken to provide you and your customers with the best possible scheduling experience. Since scheduling is a critical point of interaction with your customers, you cannot afford the risk of upsetting your customer with a problematic scheduling tool. When you start to use ScheduleOnce you will see that customers are complimenting you on your great choice.
When you first signup to ScheduleOnce you create your MeetMe page. The MeetMe page has your personal link meetme.so/yourname. You share this link with your clients and when they click on it they can easily see the time slots in which you are available. They select one, fill out a few details and the appointment is scheduled in your calendar.
The market for appointment scheduling tools is packed with vendors, most are pretty small and self-funded outfits. Almost all vendors have built a scheduling system that helps businesses sell their services online. For example spa services, saloon services, massage services and more. These vendors are also marketing their software for counseling services but is it true? Is your counseling a service business like a saloon?
The answer is of course a no. As a counseling professional what matters to you is that the scheduling software will be easy to use, simple and provide an outstanding scheduling experience to your customers. You would also want to have it work from your personal calendar and not have to manage your counseling appointments in yet another proprietary calendar.
So what should you do next? It only takes three minutes to setup your free trial with ScheduleOnce. Once you have your MeetMe page ready we suggest that you do a few tests with your customers and get their feedback. This is a process that you should do with any counselors scheduling software. Your customers are a party to this so why not let them voice their opinion?
We encourage you to give ScheduleOnce a try. It is already used by many counselors worldwide and we would love to have you join our happy family of growing customers.
