Use this free checklist to compare two booking tools with the same coaching offer. Copy it into your notes or print this page, and mark each step as pass, fail, or needs configuration.
- Define three services. Create a 20-minute discovery call, a 60-minute paid session, and a six-session programme if you sell packages.
- Connect every calendar. Add a personal commitment and confirm it blocks the same time on the booking page.
- Set realistic availability. Add a preparation buffer, a minimum notice period, and a daily booking limit where available.
- Explain the offer. Check that a visitor can find the session purpose, price, duration, and preparation instructions without contacting you.
- Collect useful intake. Ask about the client’s main goal and the context you need before the meeting.
- Check payment handling. Use your processor’s supported test mode to check checkout, confirmation, cancellation, and refunds. Avoid accidental live charges.
- Check package entitlement. Confirm that booking a session reduces the balance correctly and that cancelling follows your policy.
- Test another time zone. Compare the booking page, email confirmation, and calendar event.
- Reschedule on mobile. Check that the new time updates the calendar and the client receives the right meeting link.
- Compare the real bill. Record the required plan, number of coaches, billing cycle, message charges, and processor fees.
