Hey everyone! 👋
I’m working on a MVP for a seamless booking solution for coach, tutors, lawyers, freelancers and would love your feedback (or a good roasting 😅). Here are my key research findings and initial thoughts:
Landing page:

Problem with Current Scheduling/appointment booking Tools including Calendly:
1️⃣
Clients often refuse to use booking links sent via email because they feel impersonal and rigid and
currently no scheduling software including calendly is solving this. hence 40% of the leads reached via email just ignore calendly link send via email.
(Reddit prrof:
https://www.reddit.com/r/CustomerSuccess/comments/17gblaz/do_your_customers_refuse_to_use_your_calendar_link)
2️⃣
Emails not sent for the meeting/appointment confirmation if google calendar is not synced.
4️⃣
No automated client reminders, which leads to no-shows.
5️⃣
Limited payment options, with little support for subscriptions or multi-meeting packages.
6️⃣
Poor timezone handling, making global bookings difficult.
How My Solution Stands Out
I’m envisioning a tool that includes:
•
AI-powered automation to handle email replies and book appointments automatically via email.
•
Personalized booking pages where clients can suggest their availability instead of just using a static link.
•
Flexible payment options for one-time and subscription-based bookings.
•
Automatic timezone detection to simplify global scheduling.
Validation So Far
• Many users on platforms like Reddit expressed frustration with current tools like Calendly for lacking advanced features, flexibility, and team calendar syncing.
• Small businesses and solopreneurs need better automation and team management capabilities without incurring high costs.
Would Love Your Thoughts!
👉 Is this solving real pain points, or am I missing the mark?
👉 Any must-have features you think would make this tool invaluable?
👉 Where do you think this idea might fall flat?
Feel free to roast away or share any insights! I really appreciate your time and expertise. 🙌 (edited)
