Common mistakes
Never asking, no reminders and making rescheduling hard.
Customers who say no
If the customer doesn't want to book now, ask permission to send a reminder when it's time. Most say yes, and the reminder brings many of them back.
Office follow-up
The office can call customers who didn't rebook a week after the visit, while the experience is still fresh.
