Using DayScheduler: Traveling SME
For me DayScheduler is all about saving time while providing better service to my audience.
I support twelve member sales team who support hundreds of customers each.
As a subject matter expert I present new industry trends, concepts, ideas and explain how they can provide value by implementing them with the services my company can provide. I get to visit some of the largest companies in North America, and have great talks with incredibly smart people about the not-so-far future.
I am what it called a road-warrior. I am on a plane every week to see customers or present at events. I am typically booked a month ahead visiting two or three different cities per week. As with everything, sometimes schedules change, and they have to be re-arranged. To some it is a crazy schedule, but to me it is just what I do.
I needed a way to keep my schedule
- up-to-date so my customers can quickly view my availability
- open for folks to request an available day
- available from anywhere / anytime
I found DayScheduler.com while looking for a solutions via Google Search. After using it for the last 6 months, I can, without a doubt, say that it has saved me not only time, but has improved the relationship with my customers.
In the past used to receive emails asking if I had this or that day available for a customer visit. After they send those days to the customer, they came back with different days and the back and forth continued multiple times.
Now I just point them to my own DayScheduler.com URL and they simply look at my availability and request a day that is convenient for everyone. DayScheduler send a request to my outlook calendar, and I accept it.
I do block days that I have personal activities as well as holidays, vacations and such. Even my own family has requested days they need me at home.
