Let customers make appointments for you

Taking sales appointments online could be the smartest time-management move you'll ever make. With TimeDriver, customers can go online at any time of the day or night, explore a menu of services, check your availability, and schedule a sales appointment. TimeDriver is geared specifically for individuals whose business relies on scheduling many appointments, such as sales and service professionals in large organizations. The idea is to make things convenient for customers while minimizing the overhead in email back and forth or phone tag.

TimeDriver is the first on-demand solution that allows a sales pro to book a steady flow of appointments through a Website visit or email outreach. TimeDriver requires nothing more than a Web browser and an existing Google or Outlook calendar, and the company offering TimeDriver, Massacheusetts-based Time Trade, is offering it as a free service.

Sales pros using TimeDriver should see an immediate increase in bookings and will spend far less time juggling appointment books. Early testers reported an average in increase and confirmed meetings of 56 percent and a drastic 76 percent in reduction of backand forth meeting negotiations.
