For businesses that rely on scheduled interactions – whether it’s consultations, demos, or treatments – managing appointments efficiently can be the difference between winning or losing a customer. Yet too often, the process involves back-and-forth emails, voicemails, and missed opportunities.
At Moneypenny, we believe scheduling should be simple. That’s why appointment scheduling is included as part of our Lead Management Service, included in our Personalized Phone Answering plans.
What is appointment scheduling?
Every time someone calls your business, your Moneypenny receptionist doesn’t just take a message. They can now schedule appointments directly in your calendar in real time. Whether you use Calendly, Microsoft Bookings, Timely, or another platform, we integrate seamlessly – giving your receptionist full access to schedule appointments based on your live availability.
No more phone tag. No more manual scheduling. Just frictionless scheduling at the point of first contact. This makes it easier for your clients to confirm appointments immediately – and for you to capture more opportunities without lifting a finger.
What are the benefits of appointment scheduling?
- First-call resolution
Your clients want answers now – not in a callback later. With our solution, your Moneypenny receptionist can schedule an appointment while still on the call. That means no delay, no calendar clashes, and no risk of them going elsewhere in the meantime.Our clients have seen a significant uplift in confirmed scheduled appointments just by eliminating unnecessary steps in the process.
- Maximize your availability
Missed calls often mean missed revenue. With our support, even when you’re in a meeting or out of the office, inquiries don’t go unanswered. Every call is picked up professionally and every viable lead is offered a slot in your schedule.This keeps your calendar optimized and ensures your team’s time is used effectively. - Reduce your admin burden
Coordinating calendars and fielding scheduling requests is time-consuming – and rarely a good use of your internal team’s expertise. Our receptionists manage all appointment admin as part of their inbound call handling duties.Need a confirmation sent? Want to attach pre-meeting documents or intake forms? No problem. We can do it all during the same call, keeping your processes efficient and your team focused. - CRM syncing and workflow automation
Appointments aren’t just added to your calendar – they’re fully logged in your CRM with all relevant details. We work with Zapier to connect seamlessly with platforms like HubSpot, Salesforce, and Dynamics.This means your sales team or service provider picks up right where the call left off, with full context and confidence.
Real stories from real businesses
Physical therapy clinic
The challenge
A fast-growing physical therapy practice was struggling to manage a high volume of appointment calls. Their receptionists were often tied up arranging schedules or taking payments, leading to missed calls and voicemails that piled up during busy periods. Rescheduling was inconsistent, gaps were appearing in therapists’ calendars, and patients weren’t always getting the seamless experience the clinic wanted to offer.
The solution
The practice partnered with Moneypenny for overflow support. Now, when their in-house team is unavailable, every call is picked up by their dedicated Moneypenny receptionist, who schedules appointments, takes payments when needed, and logs everything directly into their CRM. New patients receive immediate confirmation, therapists’ schedules are optimized, and the clinic has seen a clear improvement in client satisfaction and appointment volume.
Accounting software firm
The challenge
Following a successful marketing campaign, a B2B software company saw a sharp increase in inbound inquiries. But with their sales team often tied up delivering demos, they were missing calls and wasting time chasing leads who weren’t a good fit. Many demo slots were going to unqualified prospects, and lead information was entered into their CRM manually, with no visibility of which campaigns were driving results.
The solution
By fully outsourcing new inquiry calls to Moneypenny, the firm ensured every prospect received a professional first impression. Our receptionists ask qualifying questions on every call, confirm demo scheduling through our Calendly integration, and sync all details – including attribution – directly into Dynamics via Zapier. Since making the switch, the team has seen higher conversion rates, better qualified meetings, and a significant reduction in time spent on admin.
