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?”
This happens all the time, and it doesn’t cast you in the most professional light. You want everything to flow smoothly and quickly.
Use an online schedule to put an end to scheduling ping-pong, which can cause you to lose clients and cash.
Did all sorts of fears creep up on you the last time you thought about taking a vacation?

How many times have you opened an email, read it, closed it, and made a mental note to come back to it again, because you didn’t have time for whatever task was inside?
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?
Have you lost a potential client by doing this? Have you ever felt embarrassed by how long it’s taken you to respond to someone?
