Missed Appointment & No-Show Recovery for Sporting Goods Stores

{"faqs":[{"answer":"There's no per-seat or software pricing and no surprise line items — you pay a flat one-time setup fee quoted at the free list review, plus outreach minutes at 9¢–21¢ that step down as volume grows, with texts and emails folded into the quote. More importantly, real humans with real judgment make the calls, you approve every message, and everything is sent in your store's name so it feels like a personal follow-up, not a blast.","question":"How is this different from running my own email blasts or hiring a call center?"}],"steps":[{"step":"1","title":"Free List Review","gradient":"from-orange-500 to-red-500","description":"Send us your customer list — CRM, spreadsheet, or point-of-sale export.

For a specialty retailer squeezed by consolidation and price competition, mining your own list is the highest-margin move available.

Every outreach is approved by you before it goes out.","proof_point":"Reactivating a customer is ~5x cheaper than acquiring one; ~of revenue often comes from repeat customers (callmycustomers.com/results)"},{"icon":"Target","title":"Reasons to reconnect that feel useful, not pushy","gradient":"from-green-500 to-blue-500","description":"Seasonal gear needs, old quotes with a fresh angle, renewal reminders before lapse, post-purchase thank-yous — every outreach is framed around a genuine reason to come back, which matters when customers have endless options for sporting goods online shopping. Example: a spring bike-fit reminder referencing their last fitting date, or a fall team-gear follow-up on an old quote.
