- verdverm 2y agoExcept people are going to not make a booking in the first place. I'm certainly not putting in payment info to book a slot on someone's calendar i.e. some no shows is better than nothing at all
- akshayprasath 2y agoI agree, but this mainly targets people with a large following who have a public booking link on their website. They likely have a packed calendar, and this would help them filter out non-serious buyers
- chrisjj 2y ago> this would help them filter out non-serious buyers Non-serious non-buyers, rather.
- chrisjj 2y agoAnd seriously how is that expected to "stop no-shows"?
- akshayprasath 2y agoIf you had paid a deposit for it, wouldn’t the chances of attending be significantly higher compared to a free meeting?
- chrisjj 2y agoI doubt it. And regardless, that's far short of "stopping no-shows". I think more likely to stop a significant number of bookings.
- akshayprasath 2y agoSorry, but could you please clarify where I have mentioned ‘stopping no-shows’ on my site? It currently says ‘Notice a 60% reduction in no-shows’.
- chrisjj 2y agoI can't, because it has recently been removed. Site now says "forget no-shows". But HN title is unaltered. "prevents no-shows" > It currently says ‘Notice a 60% reduction in no-shows’. And what % reduction in shows?
