This is what they tend to say about us...and here's how you can reposition:

Objection #1 : Booksy provide us with a great online presence?

How to handle:

Treatwell has the biggest digital high street for online bookings not only in the UK but in Europe as a whole providing you with a brand new set of clients & additional revenue stream. 

Unlike Booksy Treatwell only specialise in the Hair & Beauty industry which allows us to fully understand the challenges & provide solutions via our software 

Objection #2 : You cannot provide deposits Booksy can?

How to handle:

We are aware of this and the deposit feature is being developed as we speak & will have this very soon 

However, we do have prepayment on our software allowing clients to pay for the full treatment before even arriving to the salon

Objection #3 Booksy offer a free trial?

How to handle:

Do you know why they provide a free trial let me explain - the reason for a free trial is Booksy do not specialise & put their sole focus on the Hair & Beauty Industry - they are working with all types of markets dog grooming, vet , sports, etc therefore they do not know or are sure if their software will work for you 

Unlike Treatwell whose sole focus is the Hair & Beauty industry meaning we know for 100% our software will benefit your business and work for you therefore no need to offer any free trial - do you see Apple offering free trials on their phones/tablets etc?   No, you don't when you know your product works no free trial is necessary or required - it's working for 8000 businesses we work within the UK & 40000 businesses in Europe  

Objection #4 My client list is already built in my software which has taken me a lot of time to build not worth the hassle?

How to handle:

You can download your client list in a few simple steps from your current software and we can upload your client list to our software in a matter of seconds meaning you will not be losing any of your clients - what will be more of a hassle is realising later on down the line your software is not working for you as you are with the wrong provider 

❓Questions to expose Competitor's Weakness

• How much are you paying for online booking appointments?

• What are the costs to add an extra staff member ?

• A recent study has shown clients who need to create an account on an app in order to book an appointment find this experience a hassle and opt to book an appointment with a competitor. How are you managing this currently ?

• A lot of ex-Booksy partners who join Treatwell constantly inform us one of the reasons why they change Software is due to all the extra costs Booksy charge as the business grows - How would you feel & manage this if this happened to you ?

• How are you managing bookings for clients who would like an appointment at at 10/20 minutes past the hour as Booksy's software calendar only allows clients to book appointments  either on the hour mark or quarter past/quarter too ?
