The first thing that you’re gon na wan na do is make sure that you include one or more calendar accounts.

And what I suggest by this, is things beyond simply Calendly consultations but things that are occurring possibly in your personal life or other meetings that come up as a part of your day. This is absolutely gon na be your very first stop to make sure that you have your calendar connections set up properly. Next up, we wan na remain with our account settings this time we’re gon na go to account account settings and I simply wan na encourage you to publish an image.
Now this is most likely more important than you believe. You’re gon na wan na put the name of your organization or possibly it’s your complete name. But keep in mind, this is the URL that you are gon na be showing users. This is what you can connect from your site or your social media accounts or you can simply copy and paste this and give it to people directly so that they can arrive at your Calendly page. All right, when you have actually been finished with your account settings, let’s go back to the house screen. I just wan na show you where a few of those changes take place. I’m gon na click my link here simply to show you where this shows up. This is the initial landing page where individuals are gon na see my profile image, my name and that welcome message. I have actually got two events presently that individuals can choose from and when they click on among those occasions, they are likewise gon na see my branding here. This is where the logo enters into play. Now let’s move on to the events themselves and how can you set up one or more occasions so that it’s as easy for your prospective leads or for your customers to come in here and book time with you. So let’s go back to our menu within our account screen here. And this is actually our main page here on the house screen where you can include and modify existing events. I have actually got 2 occasions that I’m utilizing at the moment but let’s go and produce a brand-new occasion from scratch. We gon na choose that brand-new occasion type, which is gon na open up a new screen. We have actually got 2 choices here, we can either create an one-on-one conference or a group meeting. Now a group conference lets multiple invitees meet you at a single time. This may be fantastic for a teacher or if you are supplying a group webinar or something along those lines here. In a lot of cases, the majority of people are utilizing Calendly for individually conference.
Let’s say create for one-on-one. On this screen, the first thing that we need to do is give it an occasion name. Now keep in mind, this is more than just your reference. This is what individuals are gon na be seen when they land on your Calendly page. So I’m simply gon na call this one, Meeting with Scott, truly easy here. So I can identify, oop, Meeting Scott. Let’s keep that therein. Our 2nd action is to include a place and you can see we can tell our users upfront, is this an in person conference, a phone call or is it gon na be a specific conferencing conference such as utilizing Google Meet, Zoom, GoToMeeting or perhaps something customized, something that’s not even listed here. In our example, I’m gon na pick call in this case. And in most cases, depending upon the alternative that you choose, you might have some additional choices awaiting you. Do I wan na choose if I will call my invitee in this case, it’s gon na require the individual who’s scheduling that time to list their phone number. I need to understand who I’m calling or I can choose this option, my invitee must call me. In this case, I can include my wanted contact number here and the excellent thing with Calendly is that it’s not going to display this number until they have reserved the visit. If someone is thinking about booking time with me, it’s not as if they’re gon na see my phone number or my dial in number right away, it’s only after they have actually scheduled the time will this number be exposed. However in this case, I’m gon na state, I will call my guests ’cause I’m gon na inquire to supply their contact number. I’m gon na state update, that’s gon na save that option here. Down listed below we can include a description which is something you don’t wan na ignore particularly if you have numerous events that you’re gon na be using to your users. I’m simply gon na say, this is a conference with Scott for a consulting session, something like that, simply something so they can separate what this event is about compared to possibly some of the other occasions that I have available. And then just below the description, we have our occasion link. Now we currently talked briefly about having your domain or your business name or possibly your full name to get them to your main Calendly page however this is something that you can share in addition, a different URL. So in this case once again, you wan na try make it as particular as possible. So maybe I’m gon na state, satisfying Scott, something like that, something that’s so easy for me to recognize however also if I simply copy and paste this link, they understand what they’re getting also.
And lastly, we can pick a different color. This is very valuable if you have multiple events, I’m gon na pick red in this case just so it sticks out from the other occasions that I’ve currently produced. Now as soon as we hit next, we’re gon na get to the nuts and bolts of our event. When can people book this event, in this menu screen called. So by opening this app, you’re gon na see a great deal of
