I want to take a moment to share an amazing Microsoft product from Microsoft Bookings, BookwithMe, that will increase your productivity and customer satisfaction, making it the perfect solution to improve customer connections.

 

In today's fast-paced business world, connecting with customers is more important than ever. And, as we all know, time is money. That's why BookwithMe, the appointment scheduling software, is a game changer for businesses looking to establish and maintain strong connections with their customers.

 

First and foremost, BookwithMe automates the scheduling process. No more emails back and forth trying to find a time that works for everyone. BookwithMe finds the best times for meetings based on the availability of all participants, saving both you and your customer valuable time.

 

But BookwithMe isn't just about scheduling. It allows businesses to schedule meetings with customers and keep track of all appointments in one place, streamlining the process and eliminating the possibility of double bookings.

 

Another great feature of BookwithMe is the ability to create different types of meetings, such as consultations, demos, and webinars. This makes it easy for customers to schedule the type of meeting they need, and helps businesses provide a tailored experience for each customer.

 

Let's not forget about accessibility. BookwithMe can be accessed by any device, making it easy for customers to schedule a meeting wherever they are.

    I need to be able to brand and customize the "Personal booking page" or "Bookwithme" page or meeting types with my company colors and logo.  I don't need or want to use the "Shared booking pages" as the personal booking does what I need it to do but need it to reflect the organization I'm with.

     

    How can I do this or when will it be available?

    Is it possible to share the setup page with assistants so that they could administer my meeting preferences and set up new calendars etc for me?
