Does this kind of situation sound familiar?
A client wants to book a session with you, but there’s this frustrating and time-consuming series of email exchanges about possible dates and times. “Oh, that doesn’t work for me. Can we do 3 pm PST instead?”

How many times have you accidentally come across this e-mail days, weeks, or even months later and realized that you never responded to it?
