Understand the calendar functionality in order to maximise success.
Overview:
As a driving instructor, your success relies on the professionalism, reliability, and steady growth of your business. The EzLicence booking system enables you to connect with learners in real-time. However, for this to work seamlessly, it's important to maintain accurate availability and bookings in your EzLicence calendar.
4 keys to successfully managing your calendar and booking availability:
1. The 75-Day Rule: Planning Ahead
Learners can view and book lessons up to 75 days in advance. By offering a wide booking window, you increase your chances of filling your calendar with students who plan ahead. Be sure to have future availability set in your calendar.
2. Public Holidays and Your Calendar
Your calendar is automatically set to display booking slots on public holidays. This means you will continue to accept bookings on those special days. Consider offering available lesson slots on public holidays for learners who have free time on those days or ensure that you have removed your availability if you plan to take the day off.
3. Last-Minute Bookings: Stay Flexible
Our system allows learners to book lessons up to 5 hours before the desired start time, subject to availability. To cater to last-minute bookings, consider keeping some time slots open for spontaneous learners.
To manage your calendar effectively, here are a few key booking restrictions to consider:
- After 7pm, learners can only place booking on the next day after 12 noon
- Before 7am, learners can place same-day booking anytime after 12 noon
- After 7am, learners can place same-day booking after 5 hours
Your calendar is a valuable asset that can help you attract and retain learners. By following these guidelines and keeping your availability up to date, you're ensuring a smooth booking experience for your students. A well-maintained calendar is a testament to your professionalism and commitment to your learners' needs.
