What is the etiquette for asking someone to use your calendar link?

<p>This is a conversation that needs to be had more often because I don’t think enough people understand how to use a calendar link without coming off as rude.</p> <p> </p> <p>Steve Ramona started us off by saying you have to have a relationship first. Don’t just throw your link at people and expect them to book time with you.</p> <p> </p> <p>Janice Dru-Bennett agreed and added that it depends on the relationship you have with the person. A good friend is likely to be put off if you send them your booking link.</p> <p> </p> <p>She also brought up the great point of cancellations. If she uses your link to schedule and you cancel, it’s on you to reschedule. And if both send each other their link, who is it on to schedule?</p> <p> </p> <p>Kevin Wash is old school. He doesn’t have a link and he doesn’t use them to schedule. If he can’t talk to the person he needs to meet with, or at least their assistant, there isn’t much point in setting up a meeting.</p> <p> </p> <p>I would rather use someone else’s link because I don’t like random meetings all over my calendar. I want like meeting bunched together. And I think it is ridiculous when I go to schedule with someone and they have one slot six weeks from now. </p> <p> </p> <p>Connect with the panelists: Steve Ramona: <a href='https://www.linkedin.com/in/steveramona/'>https://www.linkedin.com/in/steveramona/</a></p> <p>Global Sales Director at InPhone, a podcast coach and the host of the podcast, Doing Business with a Servant’s Heart.
