What are people's thoughts on using Calendly and the like? I'm asking people for meetings a lot lately, and usually after they agree I send them a link and ask them to "find whatever time works best for you."
Practically, this seems like the nicest thing to do. They get to pick a time in my very open schedule and there's no back and forth. But emotionally, it feels like I'm giving a task to someone who just accepted to help me.
These are all 20 minute video calls, by the way.
- michaelbuckbee 7y agoI came here after reading the article to ask the same question as I do worry about it feeling weird. The middle ground I've settled on is to say something like: "I'd love to meet, either give me some times that work for you can pick a time from my Calendly [link]" and then most people go for the Calendly link.
- travisjungroth 7y agoThanks. I think I'll combine our strategies. After they've already agreed to meet, I'll ask if they want to send over times and I'll give them my link.
