The work, in practice

Use this checklist with the person who owns the website and the team handling customer enquiries. It helps turn a general wish for better responses into a concrete scope. The ticks are a local preparation aid and the print view is for your own review. They do not save business settings, publish knowledge, approve a subscription or enable appointments and messages.

01 · Enquiries & Appointments

Start with one process somebody can supervise

For the Aarhus workshop, start with ordinary city-bike service questions and visits. For the Utrecht adviser, start with the subject of an introductory consultation and the minimum contact route. These are different businesses, but both need approved information and a person for exceptions. Decide what the first scope excludes before selecting more channels. An unknown repair, a special agreement and a confidential professional question should each have a defined human route.

02 · Enquiries & Appointments

Keep evidence next to the decision

For each item, name the source, responsible person and next review. A tick saying 'calendar ready' is not enough: note which calendar, timezone, duration and external commitments were checked. A tick saying 'answers ready' needs the approved current information, not an old document title. The same principle applies to provider connections and the plan's entitlements. If the prerequisite cannot be established, leave the item unresolved and name the person who can decide it.

03 · Enquiries & Appointments

Use fictional exceptions, not customer appointments

Test a correct routine answer and then deliberately leave one necessary detail out. Try an unknown question, a changed requirement and a slot conflict. Confirm that a failure gives an honest next step instead of a promise. Review the saved capture or configured test result through the authorised process; the public demo only changes local fictional states. Never make a customer's real booking or send a message just to tick an educational checklist.

04 · Enquiries & Appointments

Agree what remains separate

Website enquiry handling does not include telephone answering. Automatic appointment reminders and customer self-service rescheduling are not established in this release. Provider approval, extra channels and more complex staff/location allocation require their own review. Keep existing commercial prices and limits in the normal subscription process. An enquiry or a completed checklist cannot act as permission to connect customer accounts, send promotions or start another service automatically.

05 · Enquiries & Appointments

Review the first period and keep the list maintained

After setup, inspect unknown answers, missing details, owner hand-offs and waiting work over a stated period. Choose one clear improvement and assign its owner. Repeat relevant tests when hours, information, calendar access or staff responsibility changes. Print the checklist for a discussion or keep it alongside your own setup notes; local ticks are not a saved operational approval. Use the scoped enquiry to discuss support and the actual process you need.

Questions worth answering

Does completing the checklist activate booking?

No. It supports preparation. Actual plan entitlement, enabled settings, calendar configuration and responsible testing remain separate decisions.
