- Each Directory profile requires a booking link created by the Counselor via their chosen booking tool. CounselMore is integrated with Calendly and Acuity and Sync - if you need assistance please book a time.
- The CounselMore Counselor, Directory profile member will create a booking link for the specific purpose of an introductory meeting and add that link to the profile form.
- A prospective client will click on the booking link in the directory profile and a payment link will launch. A one time payment will be collected from the prospective client. The transaction will be processed by CounselMore and the appointment information, prospective client information and collected funds (minus transaction processing fees) will be forwarded to the owner of the directory profile page.
- All introductory meetings for prospective clients are offered at a standard rate of $99. This approach helps eliminate false comparisons among similar services, as it allows potential customers to focus on finding the best match based on relevant criteria rather than cost alone. The $99 introductory rate is the only fee required for this initial meeting. Afterward, service providers are free to set their rates and offer services as they see fit.
- This initial meeting can be as brief as 30 minutes. Any rates you choose to set after the intro meeting are independent of CounselMore. After the sales lead is passed to the account owner creating the registry profile, all subsequent arrangements are the responsibility of the account owner and not CounselMore. CounselMore will credit the account owner's account and notify the user via the verified account email address.
