5 ways to avoid working on vacation 🌴

How automation can help you enjoy time off Hey {NAME}, Taking a completely unplugged vacation is easier said than done, but with a bit of automation, you can make it happen. Here are 5 things you can automate to keep your business running smoothly without your intervention — on vacation and beyond: - 💪 Let people book their own appointments Give your clients an easy way to schedule appointments online so you don’t need to be a part of the process. Simply block off the time you’re out so no one can book at that time. - 💬 Automate important replies While you’re gone, use email and SMS automation to manage appointment reminders, welcome new customers, follow up with new leads and more. Everyone will get the info they need, when they need it. - 💸 Keep selling while you’re gone Make your online checkout process seamless so sales keep moving while you’re out. Answer common questions on your order page, keep your order form quick and simple, and send an automated confirmation email. - 🔔 Put payment notifications on autopilot The last thing you want to hear on vacation is that a customer’s payment failed or didn’t arrive on time. Before you leave, set up automated messages to notify people of upcoming payments, expired credit cards or declined payments so you don’t have to think about it. - 📑 Help customers help themselves Your customers will run into questions while you’re gone. Give them an easy way to find answers with a Knowledge Base! They’ll be able to search for specific topics to find what they need without reaching out to you directly.
