Appointment Confirmation
Automotive · 3 minutes
- Intent
- A booking is a plan, not an event. Confirmation is what turns one into the other.
- Objective
- Protect the show rate without nagging.
- Context
- Time, vehicle, who they're meeting, and what has been prepared for them.
- Don't
- Send a bare reminder. Confirm on a channel they didn't consent to. Confirm three times.
- Next step
- Confirm with something in it for them — what will be ready when they arrive.
- Escalate
- Unconfirmed inside 24 hours → risk queue, with severity by proximity.
- Measure
- Confirmation rate. Show rate on confirmed versus unconfirmed.
THE EXCHANGE
Rep
Tomorrow at 5:30 with Ron. The RAV4 is off the lot and the appraisal on your Corolla is done, so we can talk numbers instead of doing paperwork. Reply if anything changes.
