Life coaches: booking free discovery calls online

A free discovery call is how a prospect decides whether to work with you, and arranging it by email loses people along the way. Put it on your booking page as a short service with a few slots a week, ask two or three questions in the description, and send your video link after each booking. Prospects book the moment they're ready, you arrive knowing why they came, and the first paid session is booked at the end of the call.

On Book, each service has a name, a price and an optional description shown on your public page, and each slot belongs to one service, sits within one day and has its own capacity.

Durations and prices are examples: set your own. Leave the price empty for the discovery call, or write "Free" in its description; a price of zero shows as €0.00.

Free calls can take over a week. Open a fixed number, such as four on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons, and keep the rest for paying clients. Slots repeat each week on the weekdays you choose until an end date. When a slot is booked, it leaves your page.

The booking form takes first name, last name, email and phone, plus an optional note that reaches you in the new booking email and appears in the prospect's calendar file. Ask for a line or two, not their life story.

Book doesn't create video links. Send yours by email after each booking, and say in the description that it will come by email. Prospects who give their email also get a confirmation with a calendar file.

If the prospect wants to start, book the first sessions from your bookings list before you hang up; first and last name are enough. A fixed weekly time helps a coaching programme keep its rhythm.

Prospects can't move or cancel online: they email you and you move the call. Book doesn't take payments or send reminders. Book costs €5/month, everything included: unlimited services and bookings, no commission, no contract.
