Help With Scheduling

Have you ever scheduled appointments too close together?

I have. But here's a way to help avoid that.

I use an appointment book. But this will also work for computer appointment settings.

The secret is this: when you enter an appointment, besides the name, enter a note about the applicant's location. I usually write down the name of the city where the individual's located.

This allows me to quickly know if I can get to another appointment in time, without having to look up the first appointment's contact information. Not to mention that it prevents me from making, for example, an appointment at 9 a.m. that's 50 miles from a 10 a.m. appointment.

Scheduling appointments can be a major headache in this business. Little tricks such as this can lessen your headaches.
