In today's world most people expect to book online and some just aren't ready for that.
You can have the best of both worlds. You will be amazed how much time you save when people register themselves into your courses. Every booking made online is one you don’t type into a spreadsheet.
You can also add phone bookings yourself, knowing the person who made the booking will receive a confirmation email, tickets and invoice in seconds. The class lists are automatically updated as the bookings roll in. You can see class numbers at a glance, and print attendee lists or name badges in a jiffy. No formatting or merging is required and attendee details like dietary needs are included.
If you charge for courses – and most trainers do – you’ll want to take the hassle out of balancing the books. Offer credit card payment to eliminate time spent chasing late payers, and internet banking if your target market is resistant to credit card payment. All funds collected go straight into your own account, never into ours. That means better cash-flow, lower fees and no third-party risk.
Better still, as people book their details are saved in your private contact management area. From there you can in-built email tools to send them event-day reminders, follow-up emails and newsletters - unless they unsubscribe of course.
