How To Suggest Time For A Meeting (With Examples)

What’s the best way to suggest time for a meeting?

Current tools range from being useful to archaic. Back and forth emails? Obviously inefficient. Assistants? Helpful but under-armed. Calendar links? Triple-edged sword: convenient at times, suboptimal at others and in a few cases, wholly inappropriate.

The ideal scheduling experience gives you control, efficiency, and conveys respect for other peoples’ time.

Your Scheduling Behavior Sends A Social Message

Our goal as busy professionals is more than just getting a meeting scheduled-it’s about the relationships you build along the way. And the scheduling experience you provide people is an underrated part of this relationship-building formula.

Here’s why.

The way you schedule a meeting sends a “social message.” It conveys whether or not you respect someone’s time.

The calendar may be “the most expensive social capital negotiation out there.” And it can feel overwhelming when people are demanding your time. Now imagine that, on top of already feeling busy and overwhelmed, you’re also required to exert enormous mental effort to meet with someone. Maybe they ask you to find time through their calendar link, or they resort to sub-par ways of finding a mutually-preferred time (like endless back-and-forth emails).

There’s a better way to make this experience more seamless and remove scheduling headaches.

Let me show you how Undock can help.
