DAY 9: ONLINE BOOKING

If you’re new here, this is DAY 9 of a 27 DAY series where you peek over my shoulder and learn how to lay out a remote service business just like my company that just hit $20 million in sales.

Backstory: From Zero to $20 million in sales

Day 1- The Industries that Work

Day 2- Choosing Your City and Business Model

Day 3- How To Choose Your Domain

Day 4- Website and elements

Day 5- Logo and focus

Day 6- Copywriting

Day 7- Customer Service

Day 8- Pricing

And as usual each day I introduce you to someone else that has done from my last Case Study:

So today we’ll walk through our booking form to show you how we get customers to pay us.

Simple one-page checkout that converts.

I’ll show you how it works here and then show our live implementation of it.

So remember as we build these businesses we’re not going to try to reinvent any wheels.

We know a simple above the flow checkout works, and that’s what we’re going with, it looks like this:

Best thing, if someone gives us their email in that form but do not complete the booking, they get automated emails in sequence to bring them back to the site.

It just happens in the background and we don’t have to lift a finger. (Cart abandonment for local services - freaking unheard of).

And as folks go through the funnel when people get to the booking form it's laid out like this...simple one page checkout.

Contact info and address...

Like so: https://capture.dropbox.com/gHUQUpRz7IfyOLEF

Services and Extras (Perfect for upselling and increasing average order value)

Like so: https://capture.dropbox.com/S2iB66Up7GuDrPW3

Date/Time and Frequency (With automated discounts built in to incentive higher frequency bookings and increase life time value)

Like so: https://capture.dropbox.com/wnmtxFaaTSiLZKnW

Additional notes, credit card details, and straight to the huge BOOK NOW button.

Like so: https://capture.dropbox.com/N1IKVRftsJjls8K6

Some of this stuff might seem completely normal, but in actuality they are still pretty novel for most local service businesses.

So the same way Uber was able to apply technology over simple transportation services and dominate, we're able to do the same with other services.

You can go here and see how everything works, please don't book service though, but feel free to check out the slider and how things work:

Tools we use for our checkout.

Suprise suprise..the same tool we use for domain name, website, hosting, email reminders etc.

convertlabs.io

And we integrate with stripe for credit cards (takes literally one click)

And remember we're building an ecommerce company at the end of the day. So we don't take cash or checks.

Our businesses are built so we can build from anywhere.

Here's Chris, one of our peeps who hit $250k in the first year building from JAPAN!

DAY 10
 
@spiderkiller007 Alright looking forward to it! From my perspective it seemed like a good fit for somewhere around day 2 since it’s critical to find who is going to do the actual work, before going down the content marketing rabbit hole.

As a marketer, that’s the elephant in the room for me when reading each of your (awesome!) posts about local services. Hope I don’t come off as rude, I’m just patiently waiting for that juicy info since the rest is “just” marketing tips 😅
 
@dachinedur Residential is our base with vacation rentals and student housing cleans layered on top. We also do some seasonal offers, e.g. a 2-in-1 spring clean offer where you can get your home cleaned by us + organized by a professional home organizer.
 
@spiderkiller007 I can’t find anything about Ryan from Energy Maids online (one of your testimonials). Do you have recent success stories and their PROFIT margins? Large revenue numbers are great for raising awareness from the average person, but only profit matters.
