Financial advisers can leverage their website to save them business hours, add client convenience and even increase their number of leads. One of the ways to do all three is to add a website appointment booking system. Contact our team to discuss these exceptional website additions or learn more below.

What is an appointment booking system?

A website appointment booking system allows website visitors to book appointments with your business. Most website booking systems will even let the user book an appointment with a specific member of staff who is most suitable to deal with their enquiry or service requirements. As part of the booking process, the user will provide you with contact information. The appointment booking will then be automatically confirmed with them and reminders can even be sent to ensure the user attends the appointment.

What are the benefits of appointment booking systems?

The main benefits of adding an appointment booking system to a financial adviser website are:

  • It provides convenience to website visitors, and thus, can increase conversions when they may have otherwise not gotten in touch
  • It makes booking an appointment quicker and easier for the business, saving the cost of admin tasks and reducing the stress on resources
  • It allows you to accept bookings outside of business hours
  • It’s all automated so you never have to worry about managing your bookings. However, it is possible to block out dates and times as business requirements change

What options are available?

There are several pre-made website booking systems that can be added to most modern websites. These pre-made booking systems are quick and easy to install by professional website developers who can ensure this new system doesn’t affect any other website functionality and website speed.

There are simple website booking systems which allow visitors to select an appointment on a specific day and time and there are more sophisticated options which allow visitors to choose a specific adviser by accessing their individual consultation calendars.
