Episode 4 - How to convert cake enquiries into bookings
In the previous episode (episode 3), we explored enquiry to cake booking conversion rates and how understanding your numbers helps you predict how many enquiries you need to reach your booking goals.
In this episode, Cheryl breaks down what happens between the cake enquiry and the booking.
Many cake makers lose potential bookings not because of their skills or visibility, but because they don’t have a structured enquiry management process.
This episode explains the cake enquiry journey and how small improvements in communication and follow up can significantly increase booking rates.
In this episode you’ll learn:
Why enquiries represent genuine interest from customers
The most common points where cake makers lose bookings
Why following up is professional rather than pushy
How improving your enquiry process can increase your conversion rate
Cheryl also explains why tracking enquiries is essential for understanding how your cake business is performing.
If you currently manage enquiries across Instagram DMs, emails, WhatsApp messages, or handwritten notes, you may find enquiries slipping through the cracks.
This is exactly why Cheryl created Tier & Co Cake Management Software, a system designed specifically for cake makers to organise enquiries, track booking status, and manage their cake business with more structure.
