What does GOprofessionals offer?
GOprofessionals enables consultants to receive new business by way of telephone calls for appointments from their Directory listing(s) on the GOprofessionals Directory and the Home Delivery and Services Directory.

In addition new clients are provided with the capability of making an online appointment with you which is fulfilled either as:-

1. a telephone consultation using the online AppointmentDiary OR
2. as a face to face consultation using the online AppointmentDiary.

Note: If you prefer you can opt to provide telephone consultations only. Particularly if listing in areas where a face to face consultation is impractical. It is anticipated most clients viewing GOprofessionals will make telephone calls for appointments with telephone consultations becoming more popular as time goes on.

How does the AppointmentDiary System work?
If a customer/client makes an online appointment with you they will have agreed to your terms and conditions you upload to your AppointmentDiary. You will immediately receive an email confirmation and if required an SMS confirmation detailing the time chosen for the appointment. Your receptionist may take this information and check internal diaries. If the time chosen by the client does not suit, you can contact the client and make an alternative time for the consultation. There is no need to replace your existing appointment system unless you wish to do so. The client will receive an email confirmation and email and SMS reminder.

Note: At your discretion a link to your AppointmentDiary can also be placed on your web site or on other Directories you may be listed on. For example the link may be-  www.appointmentdiary.com.au/JohnParker or www.appointmentdiary.com.au/SuperLawyers

Advantages of pre-booked telephone consultations?
Its a new concept but the advantages are many - its 'green' reducing travel, ease of access and time savings for the client, and for you, the obvious being lower overheads, fill appointment gaps and choice of hours put aside for telephone consultations to suit yourself or practice.

Graphics provided
GOprofessionals will need a copy of your logo for graphic artists to produce a logo banner to be placed at the top of your AppointmentDiary. This graphic information is taken from your web site. Should you not have a web site or logo then the artists will create a substitute text banner. You can easily replace this yourself at any time by uploading a new banner image.

Your Charges - For telephone and face to face consultations, to establish an ongoing relationship with the new client you may consider providing your initial consultation as a shorter consultation say 15 minutes, free of charge. You can then advise the cost of future consultations. The likelihood of repeat consultations will need to be weighed by you with the decision in your hands. For further telephone consultations the client can use the same method of booking and you would then bill them by mail or charge the patient/clients credit card when you call to provide the telephone consultation.
Alternatively you may prefer to not offer a free initial consultation... the decision is yours.

Charges - The GObookings automated billing system will charge your nominated credit card a once only $110 setup fee then $55 a month for each listing provided on the GOprofessionals Directory web site. This also includes as a bonus, the use of a GObookings AppointmentDiary appointment system. SMS are .25 cents for each SMS reminder or confirmation. Should optional attachments (<1Mb) be made with a booking then a resource charge of $1.10 cents applies for each attachment. GOprofessionals and GObookings AppointmentDiary may increase charges at their discretion but will provide at least one months notice of doing so.
