One Email to 178 people and an extra £209 + VAT for tomorrow, here's how...

Here's the scenario...

You're looking at your diary for tomorrow and you have a gap between your first morning appointment and your last afternoon appointment.  You need to fill that gap, heres how you do it, and you don't need our software to use this idea, but it helps make it EASY :-).  It takes just a few minutes, and it's virtually free.  This happened to us today in our carpet cleaning business, so this is a real example of what's possible.  We had one of our vans booked in the Sheffield S6 area first thing, then an annoying gap because of a postponed appointment until 2:30pm in S6.  Now S6 is approx 45 miles from our main base, so the last thing I wanted was the guy to trail back to the workshop then back to the last job.

1. Using the Easy Emailing facility in GetBookedUp I created a simple filter of all clients in the S6 area, only 178 we have an email for on our Short Notice Offer list.
2. Chose the template email from the built in Email Editor.
3. Edited the content to suit the offer for tomorrow (20% off EVERYTHING, including Retail Products), explaining we'd had a cancellation and this was first come first served for tomorrow.
4. Hit "Send and record in the clients Contact Log"
5. Started working on something else.
6. Phone rings (within 10 MINUTES! of email going out), "Hi It's Mr Reed, I've just got your email can I book for tomorrow please and get the 20% off please."  Me "Certainly Mr Reed, we'll be there at 10:30am, Job value, £209 + VAT
7. Celebrate with a little dance around the office (not pretty!) that we've just added £209 to that vans daily total for about 5 minutes work, RESULT!

Okay, you don't need our software to do this, you can filter whatever database you have and send it by whatever means you have.  BUT what's different about GetBookedUp is that we have an Easy Email system which allows you to filter clietns based on various criteria.  The built in editor allows you to compose your own emails and customise them.  This is recorded in the clients contact log so it's traceable AND because there is no merging or exporting data to a mailmerge system it's a breeze!

This is what the Easy Email looks like...

So, what are you waiting for?  Do you have a quiet day on Thursday?  Get this ready to go out tomorrow and fill the day.

Regards

Allan.
