Acupuncture Appointment Booking Software
Common reasons why not to get Acupuncture:
- I’m afraid of needles
- Its not scientific
- I don't have time
These are three common reasons listed for
why people don’t get acupuncture treatments. But could there be another reason? How about:
“It’s too hard to get an appointment.”
Running an acupuncture clinic should be like the
therapy that you provide – free from blockages, flowing smoothly, and thriving
on positive energy. Unfortunately, inefficient day-to-day activities can cause
even the most balanced person to feel out of whack. So how can you regulate the
flow of clients coming in and out of your clinic?
Try Acupuncture online appointment booking software
from bookitlive.
Is your clinic chi suffering from these three
common appointment ailments?
1.
Your appointment book is stuck at
your clinic
When you
have multiple clients, and employees to manage, you need to be able to access
your appointment bookings from anywhere anytime. Whether you are using a paper
appointment book or desktop software, you still have trek to your clinic when
you want to make changes.
A web-based
online appointment booking system solves that problem. Not only can you log in
from any computer with an Internet connection, you can also view your scheduled
appointments and book new ones from your smartphone or tablet.
2.
Your staff spends too much time booking
acupuncture appointments
Picture
this: your client comes in for her first Acupuncture appointment. She’s
understandably nervous, as you can see by her fidgety hands and
rapid eye blinking. Her voice is shaky as she tries to make small talk with the
receptionist. Clearly, she is looking to your staff to ease her nerves, as well
as her joint pain. But it’s not going well. The phone is ringing constantly and
she’s kept anxiously waiting while your staff is busy setting and rebooking
appointments.
This can
really put a cramp in a client’s first impression, as well as set a bad tone
for the rest of the session.
(Incidentally,
on the slight chance you might need to make amends for keeping a customer
waiting, here are six tips for overcoming a
bad first impression. Not that you’ll ever need this, of course.)
3.
Your clients want to book their
own appointments
It’s
annoying to be standing in a lobby waiting to be helped while a
receptionist is on the phone. But just as annoying is waiting on the other end
of the phone line for someone to pick up so you can book an appointment.
Acupuncturist
appointment booking software allows your customers to book their own
appointments, quickly and easily. And if their schedules change, they can
log into their own secure account and either update or cancel their
appointment. Your staff is immediately notified, the phones stay quiet, and
your clients get the personalised attention that they want.
Upgrading your appointment booking process can not
only alleviate these pain points, but bring a higher level of customer
satisfaction to your clients.
Acupuncture
appointment booking doesn’t have to be a pain
When your business is regulating the flow of energy
in a person’s body, it makes sense that your clinic should be all about the
flow. Yet many acupuncture clinics are hesitant to try a technical approach to
what used to be a highly manual activity.
Wait, where have we heard that before? Hesitant to
try something different…rings a bell…
Most practitioners have heard every reason under
the sun why people are apprehensive about acupuncture. But anyone who has tried
it knows that one session is all it takes to become a believer.
The same holds true for online appointment booking
software for acupuncturists. It’s painless, relieves the pressure of a clogged
up scheduling process, and you’ll feel fantastic afterwards.
So why are some acupuncture clinics still clinging
to paper appointment books? Human nature is to be wary of change. But, while
any new partnership requires research and contemplation, consider this - bookitlive
has been helping 1,000’s of businesses in 16 countries save time, increase
productivity, and increase revenue. So, don’t worry – trying bookitlive won’t
hurt a bit!
