Action Friction — Every Extra Step Loses a Batch

A law of conversion research: **every additional required action in a flow drops completion by a notch.**

The form's action list: switch to form page → parse the field structure → pick a service (a dozen options) → pick a date (calendar widget) → pick a slot (possibly again) → enter name → enter phone → (maybe pick an artist, add notes) → submit → wait for confirmation.

The conversation's action list: ask one question → tap one option → done.

This isn't about form design quality (of course forms can be optimized) — it's that **the format itself** has a different friction coefficient. A client's booking intent is impulsive, emotional, in-the-moment — it's born in the context of "talking to someone." The form demands the client translate this impulsive intent into structured fields, and the translation process is the attrition process.

**The essence of conversational booking: no translation required. Intent completes where it's born.**
