Acuity update: No consultation needed, New Terms&Conditions, Copy & Paste, How Much Grad shoots have made me this month so far.

Hey Guys!

Just found out acuity scheduling has so much more for us and with this method i'm using for my booking site now consultations are not even needed unless they have something they want to do that's super crazy. This make's receiving bookings even easier and less of a hassle for you to have to respond to everyone and also the look is way more professional so i'd hop on this if you haven't already.

AI does any amazing job at making our life easier but some things still require a fine touch to it.
