I like that language. I'll have to try that.

Agreed. Perhaps it's less about the nice words one uses and more about the features (embed in a website, embed times in an email) that reduce the work for the person trying to book a meeting.

It's a good point. There is a feature which allows the sender to "reserve times" in a one-off meeting. That way, they don't get booked before you have an opportunity to select a time.

The family example was meant to be a silly example -- most of use Calendly for work -- but it's helpful feedback that it's probably better to say "my availability" versus "my Calendly."

I recommend using a "polite" script many people use: "Feel free to let me know when you're available. If you prefer, you can choose from my availability here." It opens the door for the other person first.

I like that. Ask them for their scheduling link.

Do you think this would have landed better if the recruiter would have first asked you for YOUR availability before sending their link? Or was it just the act of sending a link of any type that required a click on your part?
11.
by jeffinpdx 5y ago
Yeah, I feel like the sender should do the extra work of embedding the times in an email. I like your idea of a script that's auto-generated.

Hey, there. I wrote the post. I agree: From my experience people "jockeying for power" tend to get the most irritated by a scheduling link getting dropped on them without some sort of niceties surrounding it.

You just have to realize that somewhere out there is someone who is hating on you too. We're all the envy of someone else. It gives you perspective that will help you transcend the envy.
