Have you ever completed a job, only to find out that the customer didn't request it? Both you and your customers need to be on the same page to prevent any misunderstandings and ensure smooth operations.
Here’s a step-by-step guide on what to do when booking details don't match expectations.
Step 1: Confirm Before You Perform
Always confirm the service with your customer before you head out. A quick confirmation message can save you both time and effort. For example, a simple text like, “Hi, just confirming our lawn service for today!” can help avoid misunderstandings.
Step 2: Review the Booking Details
If a customer indicates they didn't schedule the service, go over the booking details together. Sometimes, customers may accidentally set up recurring appointments without realizing it during the initial setup. Reviewing their schedule on their profile might clarify the confusion.
Step 3: Adjust the Schedule as Needed
If the customer wants to stop recurring services, you can adjust the schedule directly from their profile page. Navigate to their account and change the service frequency to meet their current preferences.
Step 4: Keep Communication Open
Maintain open lines of communication with your clients. If there’s automatic scheduling set up, remind them to confirm each appointment to prevent future misunderstandings.
Step 5: Document Everything
Keep a record of all communications and agreements with your clients. This documentation can prove crucial in clarifying agreed terms should any issues arise later.
