No Show Reduction: Fewer Wasted Mornings
A no-show is a wasted morning and lost revenue. Automatic reminders and confirmations cut no-shows dramatically.
A customer books a job, then does not show up. You have turned down other work, travelled, and waited. It happens to every tradesman.
No show reduction uses automatic confirmations and reminders to make sure customers show up — and gives you a way to fill the slot if they do not.
The no-show problem
No-shows cost tradesmen time and money — and they disrupt the day. A single no-show can cost a full morning of billable work.
How no-show reduction works
- Booking confirmation sent immediately
- Reminder sent 24 hours before
- Final reminder on the day
- Waitlist fills the slot if they cancel
- You are notified of any changes
Techniques that work
- Immediate confirmation — sets the commitment
- 24-hour reminder — catches forgetfulness
- Day-of reminder — last chance to cancel
- Easy cancellation — lets them reschedule instead
- Waitlist — fills the slot automatically
Quick answers
