Challenge: Managing phone calls and bookings without interrupting in-person services
Prior to TrueLark, Weena juggled Vagaro for online booking and Google Voice for communication. However, constant phone calls disrupted her team (shown above), impacting the client experience and work environment. Weena explained “I wanted to find a solution that could respond to questions without having to stop what we were doing.”
Solution: TrueLark AI Communications + Booking
In early 2023, Weena’s search led her to TrueLark. Impressed by the platform’s ability to handle client communication and booking via SMS, she saw an opportunity to free up stylists. The initial demo showcased how TrueLark could run in the background, continuously engaging callers. This would allow her team to focus on in-person services without neglecting new inquiries. Furthermore, TrueLark doesn’t just engage in a dialogue, it discerns intent and helps the caller accomplish the goal of the call.
Weena, always prioritizing client experience, approved of the user-friendly interface for both clients and providers. The onboarding process further solidified her decision. The TrueLark team customized the software to align with Renaissance Curls’ services, providers, and booking procedures. She also appreciated the ability to personalize the SMS communication flow, ensuring a seamless and informative experience. Recognizing the dynamic needs of her business, Weena relies on the platform’s flexibility, which allows her to update the booking flow and other functionalities whenever needed. This agility ensures Renaissance Curls can continue to deliver a top notch guest experience as they grow and evolve.
