Does anybody else constantly deal with scheduling issues, such as people canceling, no-showing, last-minute changes, etc.? It's getting old having to reach out to the same parties over and over to try to find times that work and pray they reply in a timely fashion. Do you have any tips for making this process smoother? Is there any software that you use? Secret techniques?
