Salesperson: Learn to Create Amazing Appointment Scheduling Sites
If you are a salesperson who has a good business where you meet a lot clients in a day, you will definitely know how much time you can waste by just managing appointments.
Also, your clients will have to go through the vintage method of calling to schedule an appointment when most of your competition will have moved on to an appointment scheduling site.
This is where a lot of people start drawing the differences between you and your rivals in your industry. An easy and intuitive user experience is something that customers have started to expect today and you need to be in the front of the line to do so.
A great online presence can help you communicate with your customers in a much more powerful way than before and an appointment scheduling site is an integral part of it. It brings confidence, trust and the expectation of great quality in service to the minds of the customer.
In this guide, we will be focusing on how to create an amazing appointment scheduling site so that you can make the best of it to showcase your business
Do you really need an attractive appointment scheduling site for your company?
It is important to present yourself in the best possible way when running a business so that you can not only keep your current customers happy but also help turn those future customers into new ones.
Today an attractive web platform is essential for company growth. This training also gives the customer a sense of trust and consistency when it comes to presence in today's internet-centric world.
Therefore, it is critical that you design your appointment scheduling site carefully, so you can give your customers a beautiful online look that will help you draw more customers over time.
Certain rules and guidelines need to be followed while doing this. But why?
Each sector follows the language of a given design. When you take a group of companies within the same sector you will find that there will be certain variations in how they construct their websites.
This is because the vocabulary of design plays an important role in innovative expressing a company's values. For example, carpenters use a lot of brown on their websites, because, you know, it is mostly wood color.
Likewise we need to use a certain combination of colors on our websites. In fact, this is what the customers want to see on their websites, as this is what indicates that you know what you are doing.
In reality, a well-designed web page will show that you took the initiative to create such an image that your customers undoubtedly want.
Be it Customer Success, Non Profit Organizations, Property Management or anything else for that matter, having an attractive and good-looking appointment scheduling website can only work wonders for your business.
This guide gives an overview of what you need to know when designing your scheduling appointment page in your industry. If you need directions covering every step of the process, we have a guide made for that very purpose.
All right, so, how should you go about making an appointment scheduling site?
When making an appointment with your company all the client has to do must be included in your scheduling site. It will provide all the information they need to learn, which will make them book a time slot with more details relaxed.
The appointment scheduling site's architecture and style should not be too different from your website, simply because it will not help forming a single visual theme for the online presence of your company.
In the background picture of your appointment scheduling site there should not be much going on because it brings so many elements into your appointment scheduling site.
It ends with your appointment scheduling site becoming so cluttered and forcing your customers to put effort into what can otherwise be a simple and intuitive appointment scheduling process.
We would recommend that you make a booking after designing the website from top to bottom so you can find the finer information on the appointment scheduling section which might not be important. Surely doing all these will result in a much better experience for your customers.
The best place to start is your background image.
We would suggest that you look at the websites of other businesses on the internet before we get on with that. You can also find some similarities particularly when it comes to the themes used by these websites.
One thing you are likely to remember is that they will all frequently use a variety of colors. The design of an attractive appointment scheduling site for your clients is something that is important.
Sometimes photographs from your company can help customers to get some transparency. Moreover, if you have any pictures from your establishment that can be included on the scheduling platform for your appointment, it would be fantastic. More information about how to get context images for you can be found on the guide we mentioned earlier.
The color scheme that you will use also affects your background image. The color scheme will be available on your company website.
Just look at your website and address this question with a selection of colors:
- Which colors are the most used on your establishment's website?
If you have at least two colors on your website, this is the color scheme we would suggest on your background picture to move forward with. You should bare these colors in mind when searching for background images, so that you can give priority to those who have these on them.
This would mean that both the website and the scheduling site for appointments are treated similarly, and that should appear very seamless when customers switch from the website to the scheduling site for appointments.
Also be sure that the image you are using on your screen does not have so many objects or features on it, as this will make it difficult to read the text that will appear on top of it.
What about the other things on your site, then?
Remember what color scheme we have on your website? That is the exact one we are going to use to apply colors to our page.
Now that we have finished designing our background picture, we mainly have four areas where you will need to add colors to your appointment schedule site: Background Color, Text Color, Color button and Text Color button.
When applying color to each area, make sure the color you are applying matches well with the area behind it. You can also thereby facilitate efficient visibility of both the elements and the background.
In particular, it relates to the website text and is of considerable significance because it can contain information that customers need to learn when they book a web time slot. With your paint scheme, you can try various colors for your text, and choose the one that is more noticeable on your website.
If you can not find such a color, you can always go white, since white is a neutral color, and can go with any combination. With the same advice in mind, check out different versions of the website and pick one you think is the best.
The most important part possibly is the text on your site.
The text above the buttons is the source for a few punchy one-liners to post. Often, you can use the same area to remind consumers of everything they need to learn before they book the time slots.
Bear in mind that you can rely on them to read it before passing over the buttons, as the text is above the buttons. You may also change the background and add a limited amount of detail with other graphic editing tools if you think the room available for the text is not enough.
While creating your appointment scheduling site, we strongly recommend that you test your layout by clicking the Go To button at the very end of the Workspace settings and checking your booking page's live preview. This way, while you start modifying and updating the different sections of the appointment scheduling site, you can tweak the templates.
Is that everything that you need to do? Not quite!
Garner opinions from others after your work is done by showing them your page. Sometimes, we get carried away with our design that sometimes we can add some needless or irrelevant elements to our product.
It is also important that you seek input from people you trust, such as colleagues, family members or friends, who can assess your work and provide insights that may or may not enhance your booking.
When your appointment scheduling system is up and running, get your customers input and ask them to suggest any changes that could be made from their perspective.
Not only does this act provide you with information that you can use to grow your company, it also helps consumers to feel confident when they ask for their feedback, because it makes them believe that you care about the quality of your product.
It will only be a long-term benefit for you because it will help create customer loyalty to your facility and services as well.
