Overview:

Managing your real-time availability via your calendar is imperative to operating a smooth business.

Our data indicates that upcoming availability is a major factor for a learner's decision to book an instructor, so it is critical to keep it up to date. Learners view your availability and book straight into your calendar, they are able to do this up to 5 hours before a booking start time. By keeping your calendar up to date with personal events, this will help to reduce rescheduling and cancellation.

There are a number of reasons that you might need to use a personal event to manage your availability, some examples are provided below:

A driving lesson booking in your own business
A personal appointment (eg. doctor, dentist etc)
Lunch Break
