Streamlining scheduling is more than just convenient: it can help you avoid dropped leads.
By using Round Robin with time-zone-based routing, 1up saw:
- 50% drop in no-shows

No one likes no-shows. Here are a few ways to reduce them:
1. Send multiple reminders. (Even better, automate them!)
2. Charge for your time. No one wants to skip a meeting they’re paying for.
3. Send a combo of text & email reminders.
4. Make it easy to reschedule. (Hey, it's better than getting ghosted)
💡 Pro tip: When no-shows do happen, use our new "No-Show Workflows" — when you mark a no-show in Calendly, Workflows can automate rebooking emails.
