Rebooking script

Most repeat business is lost quietly. A client leaves without a next appointment, means to book later, and never does. This script makes rebooking part of checkout, then catches the clients who left without booking before they drift away. Set the timings to how often each service is really needed, and train everyone who takes payment on it.

Copy the script, set your own intervals, then train everyone at the till on it.

The rule

Every client is offered their next visit before they pay.

Every service has a return interval: [service] every [x] weeks, [service] every [x] weeks.

Owned by [manager]. Rebooking rate checked every [week] by staff member.

At checkout

"To keep [result] looking right, most people come back in about [x] weeks. That's around [date]. Shall I book you in with [staff name]?"

If yes: "Great, you're in for [day, time]. You'll get a reminder [2] days before."

If unsure: "I can pencil in [day, time] and you can move it with one tap from the reminder."

If no: "No problem. I'll send you a note around [date] so you don't have to remember."

Follow-up for clients who did not rebook

[3] days after the visit: "Hi [name], thanks for coming in. How is [result] settling in? When you're ready, book your next one here: [link]."

A week before they are due: "Hi [name], you're due for [service] around [date]. [Staff name] has [day, time] and [day, time] free. Want one?"

Lapsed clients

At [x] weeks past due: "Hi [name], it's been a while. [Staff name] has space this week if you'd like to come back in: [link]."

At [x] weeks past due: "Hi [name], we'd love to see you again. [Offer, if you use one] on your next [service]. Book here: [link]."

At [x] weeks past due: one last note, then stop. "Hi [name], we'll stop sending reminders. If you ever want to come back, we're here: [link]."

What staff do not say

Not "see you next time". Name a date.

Not "just give us a call". Book it now, or say when the reminder will come.

No discount at checkout unless it is in the rules: [when a discount is allowed].
