Acuity\u2122 is built for scheduling appointments, but what if your business model includes more?

Paperbell vs Acuity\u2122: The Top Appointment Scheduling Issues for Coaches . . . Solved!<\/h2>\n

[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ admin_label=”Features 2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”0px||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_blurb title=”What about time zones?” font_icon_last_edited=”off|desktop” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”0886680d-57ef-4f30-8d60-8522073af7bd” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}” font_icon__hover_enabled=”off|desktop”]<\/p>\n

Not having to navigate time zones is one of our favourite things about Paperbell!! Paperbell always shows you <\/span>your<\/span><\/i> time zone and always shows your client <\/span>their<\/span><\/i> time zone.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We handle all of the time zone math for you automatically. Just tell Paperbell your availability in your time zone, and your clients will see it in their time zone. We also account for any daylight savings time changes.<\/span><\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_blurb][et_pb_blurb title=”And what if someone books an appointment a year from now? I don\u2019t like having stuff on my calendar that far out!” font_icon_last_edited=”off|desktop” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”0886680d-57ef-4f30-8d60-8522073af7bd” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}” font_icon__hover_enabled=”off|desktop”]<\/p>\n

With Paperbell, you can decide how many months out you\u2019d like appointments. We don\u2019t like to have random appointments booked next year and messing up our family holidays, so we figured you don\u2019t either. You\u2019re in total control of how far in the future your clients can book.<\/span><\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_blurb][et_pb_blurb title=”Can I set different availability for different offerings?” font_icon_last_edited=”off|desktop” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”0886680d-57ef-4f30-8d60-8522073af7bd” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}” font_icon__hover_enabled=”off|desktop”]<\/p>\n

Of course! Let\u2019s say you like to do all of your discovery calls on Mondays, or save Fridays for longer deep-dive sessions. Just tell Paperbell how you like to work, and it will all be reflected for your clients automatically.<\/span><\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_blurb][et_pb_blurb title=”Can I use iCal or Outlook Calendar instead?” font_icon_last_edited=”off|desktop” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”0886680d-57ef-4f30-8d60-8522073af7bd” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}” font_icon__hover_enabled=”off|desktop”]<\/p>\n

Yes! We can also sync with iCal or Microsoft Outlook. You will just need to do a one-time sync with a Google Calendar during set-up.<\/span><\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_blurb][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_blurb title=”How do I make sure clients don\u2019t book 5 minutes from now?” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”0886680d-57ef-4f30-8d60-8522073af7bd” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

No one wants a client call to pop up unexpectedly with no notice! That\u2019s why Paperbell\u2019s \u201cappointment notice\u201d feature lets you choose the minimum number of days from now that a client can book. You can choose anywhere from zero notice up to one week. We recommend one to three days, so that you have enough notice but your clients aren\u2019t frustrated by waiting too long to speak with you.<\/span><\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_blurb][et_pb_blurb title=”I don\u2019t want to get booked up back to back with no breaks in between!” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”0886680d-57ef-4f30-8d60-8522073af7bd” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Yup, we thought of that too! Paperbell\u2019s \u201cappointment gap\u201d feature allows you to automatically decide how long you\u2019d like between appointments. We like to do 10 minutes, but you can choose whatever you like. Then Paperbell will automatically take care of making sure you have a small break between appointments.<\/span><\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_blurb][et_pb_blurb title=”How can I make sure I’m never double booked?” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”0886680d-57ef-4f30-8d60-8522073af7bd” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Paperbell syncs with your Google Calendar to make sure that your client availability reflects your <\/span>whole<\/span><\/i> life. No need to continually tweak your client availability; if you\u2019re booked on your Google Calendar, that time will not show to clients.<\/span><\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_blurb][et_pb_blurb title=”Can clients reschedule themselves?” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”0886680d-57ef-4f30-8d60-8522073af7bd” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Yes, clients have a Paperbell client portal where they can reschedule appointments as well as access other materials like surveys and shared files.<\/span><\/p>\n

Yup, Paperbell does that too! Payment and booking are one seamless process for your clients. Plus, you can create subscriptions, group coaching, and multi-session packages.<\/span><\/p>\n

Yes, Paperbell is also a CRM. See your notes, purchase history, signed contracts, completed surveys, appointment history, and more for each client at a glance. Plus, e-signatures are integrated right into the booking process, so you can cancel your contract-signing tool.<\/span><\/p>\n
