Key Takeaways
- Consultants: availability-aware routing means offered slots are slots that survive.
- Unlimited hosts on a flat workspace price, so coverage is not a licence decision.
- Reminders, time zones and self-service rescheduling reduce no-shows without extra admin.
Two problems: unqualified calls, and a shredded calendar
A public booking link invites everyone, including people who were never going to buy. Unpaid discovery calls with no context attached are the most expensive free thing a consultant gives away.
The second problem is shape. Six meetings scattered through a day destroys more capacity than six meetings in a row, and default scheduling settings produce the scattered version.
What matters for this job
Paid bookings
Stripe payment is part of the booking; the slot is only held once it clears.
Intake questions
Required answers arrive with the booking, so no call starts from zero.
Buffers and caps
Protect focus time with gaps between meetings, daily limits and minimum notice.
Time zones for international clients
Slots are shown in the client's zone, named explicitly, to stop the classic hour-out miss.
Contacts that build themselves
Every booking adds to your contact record, so follow-up is not a separate CRM job.
Setting it up
- Set a fee on the discovery call so the booking only completes once payment succeeds.
- Add intake questions — the problem, the budget range, the timeline — so the call starts informed.
- Restrict bookable hours to specific windows and add buffers either side.
- Set a minimum notice period and a daily cap.
- Turn on reminders and a follow-up with next steps.
What it costs
One flat price per workspace with unlimited hosts, so the bill does not move when the team does. The free plan takes unlimited bookings, which is enough to test the workflow end to end before anyone approves a budget.
