Next up, we wan na stay 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. If this is conferences or visits that people are going to be scheduling with you, I suggest that you put your nice profile picture here along with your name and perhaps a welcome message simply when they land on your beginning page. Next step, you likewise wan na make a fast stop at the branding page to add your business logo design or some other image that you would like to include here. And finally, we can click on the my link.
Now this is probably more important than you think. You’re gon na wan na put the name of your service or possibly it’s your complete name. However remember, this is the URL that you are gon na be showing users. This is what you can link from your website or your social networks accounts or you can just copy and paste this and give it to individuals directly so that they can land on your Calendly page. All right, as soon as you have actually been finished with your account settings, let’s go back to the house screen. I just wan na show you where some of those modifications take place. I’m gon na click on my link here simply to show you where this appears. So this is the initial landing page where people are gon na see my profile image, my name which welcome message. I have actually got 2 events currently that people can pick from and when they click on among those events, they are likewise gon na see my branding here. This is where the logo comes into play. But now let’s move on to the occasions themselves and how can you establish one or more occasions so that it’s as simple for your prospective leads or for your clients to come in here and book time with you. Let’s go back to our menu within our account screen here. And this is really our main page here on the house screen where you can add and edit existing events. I’ve got 2 occasions that I’m utilizing at the moment but let’s go and develop a new occasion from scratch. We gon na choose that new occasion type, which is gon na open up a brand-new screen. We have actually got 2 options here, we can either create an individually conference or a group conference. Now a group conference lets multiple invitees consult with you at a single time. This might be excellent for an instructor or if you are offering a group webinar or something along those lines here. However for the most part, most of people are utilizing Calendly for one-on-one meeting.
So let’s state create for individually. On this screen, the first thing that we need to do is give it an occasion name. Now remember, this is more than simply your referral. When they land on your Calendly page, this is what people are gon na be seen. So I’m just gon na call this one, Meeting Scott, truly simple here. So I can identify, oop, Meeting with Scott. Let’s keep that in there. Our second step is to include a location and you can see we can inform our users upfront, is this a personally conference, a call or is it gon na be a specific conferencing meeting such as utilizing Google Meet, Zoom, GoToMeeting or perhaps something customized, something that’s not even noted here. In our example, I’m gon na pick telephone call in this case. And in most cases, depending upon the alternative that you choose, you might have some additional options waiting for you. Do I wan na pick if I will call my guest in this case, it’s gon na need the individual who’s scheduling that time to note their phone number. I require to know who I’m calling or I can pick this alternative, my guest must call me. In this case, I can include my preferred phone number here and the great thing with Calendly is that it’s not going to display this number till they have actually scheduled the appointment. So if somebody is thinking about scheduling time with me, it’s not as if they’re gon na see my contact number or my dial in number immediately, it’s only after they have actually scheduled the time will this number be exposed. In this case, I’m gon na say, I will call my invitees ’cause I’m gon na ask them to provide their phone number. I’m gon na state upgrade, that’s gon na conserve that option here. If you have several events that you’re gon na be providing to your users, down below we can include a description which is something you do not wan na neglect especially. I’m just gon na state, this is a meeting with Scott for a consulting session, something like that, just something so they can separate what this event is about compared to possibly some of the other occasions that I have readily available. And after that just below the description, we have our occasion link. Now we already talked briefly about having your domain or your organization name or maybe your complete name to get them to your main Calendly page but this is something that you can share in addition, a different URL. In this case again, you wan na attempt make it as particular as possible. Perhaps I’m gon na state, meeting Scott, something like that, something that’s so easy for me to determine but likewise if I just copy and paste this link, they know what they’re getting.
