For effective appointment setting in a coaching business, Bill focuses on simplicity first, then smart automation. Core recommendations:

Calendar tool with booking links
1. Examples: Calendly, Acuity, or your CRM’s native scheduler
2. Must handle time zones, buffers between calls, reminders, and rescheduling
Landing page for consultations
1. Clear promise, who it is for, brief credibility, and a single CTA: “Book your call”
Email + reminders system
1. Automated confirmation email
2. 24-hour and 1–2 hour reminder emails or SMS to reduce no‑shows
CRM or contact tracking
1. Track leads, where they came from, last touch, and next action
Traffic/lead sources
1. Organic (content, referrals, social) plus, when ready, targeted ads pointing to your landing page and calendar
