Hi thereI've been on the search for a scheduling app which allows you to send automatic reminders via text or email to my clients a day or two before the appointment. Is there any recommendations from any other landscape gardeners offering garden maintenance as a service as to what apps they may use for scheduling regular appointments.

    • Thanks Tom for your response...
      I recall looking into it at first when I started the business, but cannot put my finger on it as to why I didn't go for it in the end. I found a calendar called CalenMob very useful up to now...an initial £4.99 and I was good to go...no monthly fees. It looks as if a monthly fee is required to get that sort of service....grateful for your input...

    You can definitely do it from Jobber - see https://help.getjobber.com/client-reminders/client-reminders

    But I would usually get the program to send reminders to me or team members instead (for example to pick up a tool/plant/grass seed etc) if not usually done/carried out on a visit.
    • Hi Nick
      Thank you so much for your input. I'm going to look into that again. I have done so before, but did not go that route earlier on for whatever reason. As the business is expanding fairly quickly, I will need to find a good communication tool for other employees and by the sounds of it, Jobber seems to be the one...
      Cheers!

      I have got into the habit of booking appointments as a job (in jobber) and sending the client a reminder from it.

      How do you do that then Nick?  Do you have your email address set up as one of the clents?

        You set a task or job, assign it to the team member you want reminded and select how far in advance you want the reminder sent. Reminders are sent by email.

          Aaahh... yes of course.  I use the customer visit reminders but I'm the only team member with an email inputted so I forgot about the team reminder function. doh!

  • Not sure 100% but does Gmail not do something like that?

How Do You Qualify A Sales Lead?


I don't know about you, but our phones and emails are starting to get busy with enquiries. I've learned over the years that it's all too easy to answer the phone, arrange a consultation and then spend a couple of hours with a prospective client…
