We launched Appointment Reminders a few months ago in February, so we figured it was the perfect time to do a deep dive and answer any questions about this new feature!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Led by SkySwitch CMO, Andy Abramson and SkySwitch VP of Support, Corey Stoker, we started with a high-level overview of SkySwitch\u2019s vBroadcast service, what types of businesses can benefit from the Appointment Reminders feature, how resellers can set themselves apart from the competition with Appointment Reminders, important telemarketing and dialer restrictions resellers need to be aware of and more \u2014 which can all be viewed in the recording and slide deck below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"SkySwitch Webinar: Everything You Need to Know About SkySwitch&#039;s Appointment Reminders on vBroadcast\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/fiGoFjMtSaQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a role=\"button\" href=\"https:\/\/skyswitch.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Appointment-Reminder-Webinar-5-12-2020.pdf\">DOWNLOAD SLIDE DECK<br><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is vBroadcast?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before we dive into the latest and greatest with Appointment Reminders, it\u2019s important to understand what vBroadcast is and what it\u2019s capable of doing. The vBroadcast application was launched in September 2017 and is designed to be used in conjunction with the SkySwitch WebContact Call Center Suite. It was first introduced for automated call campaigns that would allow the user to place outbound calls and play a pre-recorded message, or transfer the call to a Call Center agent.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since its inception, there have been lots of updates and new features added on, including SMS campaigns and now, Appointment Reminders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Does the Appointment Reminders Feature Work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Appointment Reminders feature has four core abilities: Appointment and Report Management, Reminder Configuration, SMS Reminders, and Voice Reminders.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This feature is incredibly valuable to service-based businesses or any business that needs to notify or send reminders to their customers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the webinar, we invited SkySwitch Reseller, Clark DeLeon of <a href=\"https:\/\/teamuptelecom.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">TeamUp Telecom<\/a>, to talk about how the Appointment Reminders feature was able to help one of his customers and how he was able to pair the Appointment Reminders feature with SkySwitch\u2019s SMS Responder to create a unique solution for his customer. Make sure to check out our Webinar Rewind to hear more about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Do You Set Up And Use Appointment Reminders?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After we detailed what Appointment Reminders can do, we went into a live demo, led by Corey, to show resellers how to set up and use this new feature. The setup is fairly simple and quick, taking only minutes, and there is currently no setup or activation fees for resellers who want to use Appointment Reminders. Be sure to watch the replay to see Corey\u2019s setup explanation, and if you have any questions about pricing, make sure to contact your SkySwitch Sales rep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Webinar Bonus: Our \u201cCreative Challenge\u201d &amp; Prizes!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Clark DeLeon\u2019s unique use of Appointment Reminders inspired our team to think of innovative ways this feature can be used. We\u2019d like to invite all SkySwitch Resellers to participate in our \u201cCreative Challenge\u201d.
