📖 The Hustle
Salons, dentists, and consultants lose bookings when they cannot answer the phone. Build AI chatbots that handle appointment scheduling via their website, checking availability through Calendly or Google Calendar integration. Charge $250-500 setup plus $75-150 monthly. Each bot captures bookings that would otherwise be lost.
🚀 First Step
Build a demo appointment bot for a hair salon that checks availability and books slots, then walk into 3 local salons and offer a free 14-day trial.
🔑 Keys to Success
- Integrate with 2-3 popular scheduling tools like Calendly, Acuity, and Google Calendar
- Add automated SMS or email reminders sent through the chatbot to reduce no-shows
- Create an industry-specific template for salons, then duplicate and adapt for dentists, coaches, etc.
