What actually causes no-shows?
Most no-shows are not rude. People forget, the time was never really good for them, or joining looked like work: an app to download, a password, a link buried in an old email. Fix those three and you fix most of it.
What are the 7 habits that cut no-shows?
- Let them pick the time. A booking page beats back and forth texts, because they chose it.
- Confirm right away. Send the time, the link and a calendar file the moment they book.
- Remind them. A reminder before the meeting brings it back to the top of their mind.
- Say how long it takes. "30 minutes" is easier to protect than "a quick call."
- Make joining one tap. No download, no password. Older clients especially.
- Use a waiting room. Early guests see they're in the right place.
- Follow up the same day. A short recap makes the next meeting feel real.
Why send reminders from your own number?
People skip texts from numbers they don't recognize. A reminder from the person they booked with feels like a note from a person, not a machine. That's the idea behind reminder texts from your own phone number, coming soon to Let's Sit Down Business: through Messages on your Mac or iPhone, or your phone's own texting on Android, with our business line as a backup.
Only to people who booked and asked for text reminders. Reply STOP anytime. Sent between 9 AM and 8 PM their time.
