Can Biscuit come in Thursday?A text, 8.12pmAnything on Saturday?Another text, 8.40pmExample: fictional. Illustration: not Laura's work or a client's business. Monday: bookings arrive by text
A dog groomer takes her bookings by text, in the evening, between everything else. Each one needs a reply and a gap in the week found by hand.
-
ContactsBiscuit (spaniel), Poppy (cockapoo), Luna (poodle), and the rest
Example: fictional. Illustration: not Laura's work or a client's business. Tuesday: the client list lives in her phone
Every client is a contact. Which dog had which cut, and when each is due back, is in her head or nowhere.
-
Thanks for bringing Biscuit in today. Brush daily, and…Typed from scratch, again
Example: fictional. Illustration: not Laura's work or a client's business. Every evening: the same message, typed again
The aftercare message is the same each time, and each time it starts from a blank screen. She does not want an assistant. She wants this to work without her, and to know how it works.

Booking linkThursday 9.00, Thursday 11.30, Saturday 10.00
Example: fictional. Illustration: not Laura's work or a client's business. Set up once: a booking link
Laura sets up a booking link on a tool the groomer can use free. Clients choose a time from the gaps she has opened.
-
Client listEach dog, its last cut and its next visitSaved message: AftercareReady to send, in one tap
Example: fictional. Illustration: not Laura's work or a client's business. Set up once: the client list and the saved message
A client list she can search, and the aftercare message saved as a template. Then a recorded walkthrough to keep, so she knows where to start next time.
Which set-up is this? The booking link alone is a Quick Start set-up. With the client list, it is part of an Essentials set-up. See the set-ups
A good system earns its keep.
Free to begin, then a printable, an evening, a set-up or your own system.
