SEAMLESS INTEGRATION. SEAMLESS CALENDAR BOOKINGS.

STAND APART, GAIN TIME, & SAVE MONEY WITH ONLINE SCHEDULING.

Every design/build firm needs to maximize revenue and streamline productivity in order to thrive and grow. Competition is steep and only getting steeper, and client expectations in an always-on digital world require staying ahead of technology to win projects. Automating the sales appointment scheduling process is better for you, and it’s better for the client. Stand apart from the competition by demonstrating how you put the client first, right from the very first appointment experience.

why Your clients will love it.

The type of clients that purchase luxury design/build projects—your clients—are busy professionals. They are not thrilled with the idea of calling to make appointments and, often, their work schedules overlap with the company’s business hours. They certainly dislike having to play phone tag. Allow the prospect to control the way they want to engage with you and when. Even better, there’s no back-and-forth for reschedules. If the client needs to move or cancel their appointment, they can adjust the day/time with a few clicks on their phone. Again, making things easy for the modern luxury consumer.

integrate sales and marketing.

Create a more personalized sales experience that sets you apart from the rest.

All along, streamlining your sales process, strengthening your brand power, and keeping the prospect excited and engaged throughout the whole sales process. Your booking system from HALSTEAD creates the concierge experience that luxury design/build clients deserve and expect.

designed for the construction industry.

Backed by our 20+ years experience in the design/build industry, our booking approach is designed from the ground up for contractors. Automated text reminders, multiple appointment types for phone consults and in-person meetings, drive time allowances, mobile-first experience, detailed intake forms that prepare you while in the field, and even integrated payment processing for consultations you wish to charge for. Drive leads from paid social campaigns or Google Ads efforts directly to consultation booking pages, instead of website forms - freeing up your time and reducing your overhead. Improve your sales process efficiencies, increases close rates, and set yourself apart.

What’s really great about online scheduling integration is its extreme flexibility. It’ll adjust to the needs of any design/build firm—one of our biggest concerns at HALSTEAD, of course. Another of our concerns is the potential power the app offers to create a more personalized sales experience, nurtured with content. This plays out nicely—for instance when we set up a system for the owner of a premium landscape design/build. Let’s call the owner Greg. He came to us with a really well-planned, nearly rigid, schedule. In fact, he already structured his time beautifully—better than most we’ve seen. For example, he only took new sales consultations two days a week, for a period of three hours each day, and then also all day on Saturdays. He also alternated those sales time slots every other week, working around commitments in his personal life. All of this posed no problem for the set-up. 

Aside from meeting the very particular scheduling demands, we also set up the app so that he had the option of multiple appointment types for the sales pipeline, meaning that the first appointment a potential client made was an initial phone consultation that was automatically 15 minutes. The next appointment the prospective client booked, once vetted and prequalified during the first phone chat, of course, was an hour-long in-person meeting. This process progressed through the relevant appointment demands. 

Greg’s new scheduling system was also able to distinguish that his sales call availability differed greatly from that of his in-person consultation availability, and then even for the availability for his third type of appointment—a design presentation. The system handled all this complexity seamlessly, and potential clients were suddenly given the flexibility and convenience of booking their own appointments in the blink of an eye.

So think about all this from the perspective of controlling the sales process, and how it fully integrates into the marketing plan. At each appointment booking stage, the client’s experience can be tailored—from the first phone consultation generated directly from a paid social ad to the second meeting, which they book via a dedicated website landing page that shows what they need to prepare for their appointment. Oh, yes, and keeping them excited and engaged throughout the whole sales process. 

It’s truly amazing to me how few contractors are taking advantage of this software. Today, it’s one element of many that should make up a concierge experience for clients who spend tens and hundreds of thousands of dollars on a luxury remodeling project.
