Link2Calendar
Publish your Act! calendar so people can see when you’re available and book a time with you, adding appointments immediately to your calendar, and notifying both parties of the booking.
Whether you’re in sales or service, time is likely your most valuable asset. Ironically, though, managing that time with your customers is often clumsy and fraught with needless delays, as vendors & customers go back and forth playing “email ping-pong”, struggling to agree upon a mutually convenient time to meet. And in business, wasted time is wasted money.
Link2calendar solves this problem by sharing your Act! calendar online with those people trying to book your time. With one click, your customers will see your availability displayed ins simple time blocks of your choosing, and provide them a convenient way to pick the earliest opportunity you both can meet. When an online booking is made, you’ll get alerted immediately of the new appointment by email, and the customer will also receive an email and an invite for their own calendar. What could be easier?
Display your Link2calendar link in your email signature, website, social media pages, or any other digital presence you manage, and then watch your calendar magically fill up with customer appointments.
