Don’t let the Covid-19 restrictions take you out of the game…
Problem: You’re a service provider who normally meets with clients in person. Due to Covid-19, your face to face visits are limited or don’t exist. You need a solution to be able to schedule consultations, collect payments, and meet/chat with your customers.

How to Digify Your Business
So how do you digify your business? You choose one part of your business that would normally be done in person and find a digital/web solution.
Let’s use the consultation as an example. Almost every service business has some sort of consult which is usually done in person or over the phone. Digifying the process not only saves you time and energy, but you’ll be able to get as much information as possible before deciding if you want to work with the potential client. Here are the items you need to conduct a consultation in person:
- A Consult Form – Use this form to collect basic information and ask any questions you’d normally ask during a consultation. Questions vary depending on your industry.
- A calendar – use this to schedule your consultations and future appointments
- Your 2 eyes ( 4 if you wear glasses) – use this to make eye contact and connect with your client
All of these items can be digitally/virtually done.
You can use Gravity Forms to create consultation forms. Calendly to accept appointments and payments, and Zoom for video conferencing. If you have a WordPress site, all of these can be added to your site and automated. This ensures that potential clients can book you while you sleep. You can also set up an autoresponder to let them know what to expect next.
