What is Calendly?

Calendly is sleek, simple scheduling software that makes life easy for business professionals and their customers by streamlining the appointment scheduling process.

What is the problem you are trying to solve?

Few tasks are as inefficient as playing phone or email tag to find a meeting time that fits two parties’ schedules, as the process typically requires time zone accommodation, multiple suggested meeting times that might be booked by others before a decision is made, or the chasing down of contact information at the last minute. This adds up to a lot of low-value communication and wasted time.Calendly users gain that time back by setting up their weekly recurring availability once, sharing their Calendly link with anyone who wants to meet with them, and allowing invitees to pick a time immediately--without having to pay, download or sign up for anything.
