FAQ
How often should I remind customers for service?
It's ideal to remind customers approximately 1-2 weeks before their scheduled service is due. This gives them ample time to adjust their schedules and ensures they don't forget their appointments.
What if a customer refuses the appointment?
If a customer declines the appointment, thank them for their time and ask if there's a better time to reach out. Keep the conversation friendly, and let them know you're available whenever they need assistance.
