Managing a missed customer appointment
A missed appointment needs a factual record and a respectful next step.
A practical approach
Confirm whether the time was actually accepted and whether access or communication changed. Record what happened without assuming the customer’s reason. Follow the team’s rescheduling process and the customer’s contact preferences. If an internal scheduling mistake contributed, acknowledge it and correct the record rather than labeling the customer a no-show automatically.
Put it into practice
- Verify the confirmed appointment
- Record facts without assumptions
- Follow the rescheduling process
