The luxury of an assistant
Few real estate agents, entrepreneurs and freelancers have the luxury of an assistant who can set up appointments and issue invoices for them. Although start-up workers are not unwilling to do everything it takes to be successfully, time spent filling out calendars and billing customers is time away from creating new business or providing the service they are passionate about.
Sadly, some great business concepts collapse and die under the weight of these clerical tasks.
“As close to free as possible”
The developers at SchedulBoss are aware of this problem. That is why they have prepared a new scheduling solution for small businesses. The company’s soon-to-be-released beta is designed to manage online customer bookings, marketing, selling, and accepting payments. The people at SchedulBoss understand the pressures of a start-up culture.
With this in mind, they are committed to keeping their software “as close to free as possible.” This new service should put a powerful tool in the hand of entrepreneurs, freeing them to focus on their primary business responsibilities.
The brainstorming session that started it all
The idea for SchedulBoss was born out of a simple conversation with a barber who was frustrated by the way lost appointments cut into his bottom line. The developers of SchedulBoss were inspired to use their technological know how to address their barber friend’s issue.
With today’s web-based resources, there had to be a user-friendly way to facilitate the scheduling of haircuts and accepting of client payments without constantly pulling the barber away from his craft. This brainstorming session over drinks was the catalyst for a product that could become a savior for small businesses.
Waiting list for beta
Although the launch date for SchedulBoss has not yet been announced, there is already a waiting list for the beta. The idea of booking, selling, and billing all through one easy platform has broad appeal for small businesspeople.
No doubt they are also attracted to SchedulBoss’ service with no monthly fees, no minimums, and the simple cancelation policy. It does not hurt that SchedulBoss will empower small businesses to accept Apple Pay even without a merchant account either.
Be your own boss
The ability to be your own boss is one of the attractive things about entrepreneurship. The reality though, is that being the boss in a start up-means doing much of the work on your own. Thankfully, the wondrous World Wide Web can give start-ups a hand up. Platforms like SchedulBoss are ready to help innovators manage their business like a boss indeed!
