How a Publishing CEO Filters Out the Wrong Clients Before the Call Even Starts

💡As founder and CEO of Prominence Publishing, Suzanne Doyle-Ingram works with leaders who are serious about turning their ideas into impactful books. Her role isn’t just about publishing—it’s about strategy, positioning, and helping clients decide whether a book is the right move for their business at all. That level of work demands focus, discernment, and clear boundaries around her time 🌟 As Prominence Publishing grew, Suzanne became increasingly intentional about how people accessed her calendar. Not every inquiry was the right fit, and not every conversation deserved the same amount of her energy. For Suzanne, scheduling wasn’t about convenience—it was about qualification, respect, and making sure that time spent together was genuinely valuable for both sides. She needed a way to let the right people book conversations, gather context before they showed up, and protect her calendar from becoming a free-for-all. That search led her to YouCanBookMe—a scheduling system for small businesses that’s now been part of her setup for nearly a decade, supporting more than 1,800 purposeful conversations and helping her run her practice with clarity and control. 💡 Read more: https://youcanbook.me/blog/how-ycbm-helps-qualify-clients Timestamps 0:00–0:13 Intro 0:14–1:10 Meet Suzanne Doyle-Ingram – CEO of Prominence Publishing in Vancouver 1:11–2:50 How do you publish a book? 2:51–5:37 How Suzanne got into the publishing business 5:38–6:47 What she’d do differently (and why staying on your path matters) 6:48–7:26 Worries and challenges in the business 7:27–9:00 Using pre-qualification questions to protect your time 9:01–9:25 How Suzanne gets her customers on referrals and LinkedIn 9:26–10:50 Using YouCanBookMe's booking software with 1,800+ bookings 10:51–12:08 Would you rather?” with Suzanne Doyle-Ingram 12:09–12:16 Outro 🔗 Connect with Suzanne Doyle-Ingram Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/suzannedoyleingram/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@UCX6Ff-fedr9SZA90P-dbxKA LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/suzannedoyleingram/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/suzannedoyleingram/ _______________________________________________ 🌟 Streamline Your Scheduling with YouCanBookMe! 🌟 Say goodbye to back-and-forth emails and hello to hassle-free booking. 💡 What is YouCanBookMe?
