Here is how our schedules work
At J&B, we know our clients have busy schedules that require careful planning in advance to ensure that all of their commitments take place smoothly. For this reason, we offer two different scheduling options to fit the needs of our highly motivated clients:
Option 1: Flexible Schedules
We have clients who prefer to flexibly schedule meetings with us, perhaps meeting us on different days of the week and/or times of the day, depending on what works for them. For these clients, we allow full access to J&B’s available session hours, which are Mondays to Fridays, 8 am to 8 pm EST, and Saturdays, 8 am to 12 pm EST. If you’re someone whose schedule is likely to change week by week, then J&B’s flexible scheduling option is for you! If you’re interested in creating a flexible schedule with J&B, just let us know what works for you.
Option 2: Fixed Schedules
For clients interested in creating fixed schedules, we allow them to select a fixed time and date that allows them to meet us on the same day and at the same time, every week. We strategically set up our fixed schedules during hours when we have found our clients are the least busy with their other commitments. This is a great option for clients with predictable schedules and regular weekly routines or activities. If you’re interested in selecting a fixed schedule with J&B, you can choose your preferred time/date from this schedule:
[Monday and Thursday]
✓ 11am EST
✓ 12pm EST
✓ 1pm EST
✓ 4pm EST
[Tuesday and Friday]
✓ 11am EST
