Overall Satisfaction with YouCanBook.Me
YouCanBook.Me is used here to make it easier for prospects to book a date or time for a demo. It is mostly used in the sales department. I spend a lot of time trying to book prospects in for a demo of our product. Because I deal with Auto Repair Shop owners, it is often hard for them to pick a day or time on the spot. It is also a challenge to get through the service advisor to speak to the owner, and often the owners don't even go into the shop much, so it is hard to get a day and time from them. YouCanBook.Me helps me with that. I am able to email them a link to my calendar and block off a time and date on my schedule. Sometimes I will use it in an email when I have not even spoken to the owner yet. When I have no luck on the phone, I eventually send a last chance email and I include the YouCanBook.Me link in the email and sometimes that works.
- Allows a prospect flexibility in choosing a time to meet
- Saves me a lot of time with followup phone calls to book a spot
- I can choose the times I am available for each day
- If I block off time in my Outlook calendar, it blocks it off in YouCanBook.Me as well, so if there is a one-off time I cannot meet, I can just block it in my calendar instead of going into my YouCanBook.Me account
- I don't like the generic email invite to a Zoom meeting it sends out. Once I get the date sent to me in my email, I have to cancel the meeting and re-set the meeting with my own personalized Zoom Invite. Sometimes that is confusing for the prospect. However, now that I write this...I see an article on the web site about creating a unique Zoom meeting invite. I will have to check that out.
- I set my work days as 9:30 a.m.-5:30 p.m. but on the calendar it shows a time available at 6 p.m. My last appointment should be listed as 5 p.m., as my appointments are in 30-minute increments and I leave at 5:30 p.m. So that is confusing and resulted in a few appointments booked when I am not actually working.
- I book demos for a coworker, and if he is busy in another meeting, I have to block it off in my calendar as "Jack is Busy" so that prospects won't pick a time that is not available for Jack. I wish there was a way I could link his Outlook calendar to my YouCanBook.Me. Perhaps there is, but I am unaware of it.
- That I can create a link to send out in emails
- Allows me to have more demos booked than I could reach otherwise
- Allows the prospect to choose a time at their own leisure. So I know if they book it through the link, they are really interested. Sometimes when I call, a prospect will book a time but not intend to attend. If they booked it, I know they are interested.
- Unfortunately, I am not in the position to comment on the ROI, but it has increased the amount of demos booked.
I have only used YouCanBook.Me. I actually have not heard of any others. I go by word of mouth, and YouCanBook.Me has a great reputation. I did not personally choose YouCanBook.Me, but I do choose to utilize it. We don't have to use it, but it certainly makes things a lot easier for me.
