I don’t do sales, but I use this all the time with friends - not to force a particular schedule, but to remove ambiguity about my availability. Folks are generally happy to suggest another time if they aren’t available.
If I put “let’s catch up” out there with no information about when I am available, I’m giving the other person the mental labour of initiating the scheduling process.
- bee_rider 2y agoI often say something along the lines of “I suggest X day, but I picked it completely at random just to get the ball rolling, so feel free to overrule.” I do find that people tend to just sort of be overwhelmed by the options when scheduling stuff, so it is easier to just suggest something. But, I hope/think putting all my cards on the table and explicitly pointing out how arbitrary it is makes it seem less presumptuous.
