IF YOU PREFER, WATCH THE VIDEO ABOVE TO SEE THE STEPS IN ACTION >>

Following is what I’ve included on my business cards to help people immediately understand what I do and how I can help them solve their problem:

BEST ONLINE CALENDAR FOR CONSULTANTS & COACHES (AND OTHER SERVICE PROVIDERS)

It’s made it much easier for me to manage my calendar, and much easier for clients to reach me — especially this time of year when I am extremely busy.

I’ve been using vCita since 2014, and I tell you, when I realized how much vCita was benefiting my business, I was hooked. I became a partner and began helping my clients to start taking appointments from their clients as well.
