"I can't offer my opinion about other communication solutions out there, but I can vouch for the one that dramatically changed our massage business and our lives - an Online Booking Calendar. Book appointments online in real time! No waiting, no phone machine, 24 hour access, no hassles. And no more need for telephone tag!"

Surprisingly, in a technological age that touts operational and time management efficiency, there are very few communication solutions that truly do either.

Certainly, e-mail is quick to send, seconds really. But how long do we spend replying to these e-mails? How much time do we spend on the phone daily? And of that time, how much is personal, solicitation, or business related? It's stressful to spend so much time with communications knowing we should be working with our clients.

I knew if I could streamline just the business part of my daily communications, my stress would go down. My income would go up. And patient satisfaction would skyrocket. After much evaluation, I determined that setting and organizing appointments was one of the most time consuming tasks in my day. So I set out to find a solution to recover my time.

By studying the many industry magazines and by scouring the internet, I finally found the communication solution I was looking for.

Now, I can't offer my opinion for other communication solutions out there, but I can vouch for the one that dramatically changed our massage business and our lives - an Online Booking Calendar. What could be better than having the ability to book appointments online in real time! No waiting, no phone machine, 24 hour access, no hassles. No more need for telephone tag!

The system is called, "Book24-7.com" and it 's easy, secure, and fast. Not only have we found our time better utilized; our business revenue and clientele have also increased. Customers and staff are able to access our secure online site 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Visitors to our website are impressed at the simplicity of our booking system. The program is a great partnership between our website and scheduling system.

In fact, it's so easy, that many first time visitors become clients and book on the spot!

With Book 24-7.com our clients can now book appointments when it's convenient for them. The panic and frustration of forgetting to phone is eliminated. If it's after hours or the phone is busy when they do remember- it's not a problem. Even at midnight they can schedule an appointment. And they can do it at a glance - none of the back and forth of phone scheduling…This is good for business!

And from the convenience of home, office, Uncle Bob's or Mary Sue's, I can see what new bookings have been made. With Book 24-7.com I've now been able to use my time more effectively. For example:

I see that my first appointment isn't scheduled until 10am. I can then use the time prior to run errands or even fit in a workout at the gym. And I know how to plan each day. Even better, an email is sent to my Inbox notifying me that a new appointment has been booked.

This system has made my life and the lives of my clients easier. I highly recommend you try the Book 24-7.com.
