Appointment Show Rate Optimization

The Problem

  • Leads book appointments but don't show up
  • No-shows waste sales time
  • Lost revenue opportunity

The Solution: Multi-Touch Reminder Sequence

Reminder Touchpoints

  1. Immediately after booking: Confirmation email + SMS
  2. 24 hours before: Email + SMS reminder
  3. Day of appointment: SMS reminder
  4. 1 hour before (optional): Final SMS

Confirmation Request

Include in reminders:

"Reply YES to confirm your appointment"

GoHighLevel Implementation

  • Use workflow triggers on appointment booked
  • Set wait steps for timing
  • Send via both email and SMS
  • Track confirmation replies

Manual Follow-Up

If no confirmation received:

  • Have setter call to confirm
  • Reschedule if needed
  • Don't rely solely on automation

Key Insight

"He did not reply yes to the email, so he's not confirmed. We'll see if he shows."

Always track confirmation status separately from booking status.
