“Can you do tomorrow at 3pm?” 😩
No. No I cannot. But you can check my calendar and book yourself. 😎
I use Calendly. Link in my email footer.
Customers book themselves.
On my terms. At my availability.
Some folks are scared to share a booking link. 😱 They think they’ll lose control. But the opposite is true. You’re more in control.
💡 Why?
- You decide when you’re available.
- You decide how long meetings are.
- You decide how many per day.
🧠 No more:
- Back-and-forth emails
- Ad hoc calls
- “When are you free?” texts
I work from Kuala Lumpur for mostly Netherlands clients. I have overlap in the early morning — which is late afternoon for them. Perfect setup: all my meetings in one block. The rest of the day, I can focus on work. 💪
On some days I open up 9–11PM slots (after the kids are down). Clients know it’s out-of-office, and respect that. But if there’s an emergency — they have the option.
Calendly made me more async 😎 And less annoyed 🧘♂️
Do you use a booking tool already? Or still living in “when are you free?” land?
