And what I indicate by this, is things beyond just Calendly appointments however things that are taking place possibly in your personal life or other conferences that show up as a part of your day. Down below here, you can also look for disputes. You can utilize several calendars to look for disputes more than just the one that you have actually picked up here and you can also specify which calendar to add those consultations to. This is absolutely gon na be your very first stop to make sure that you have your calendar connections set up properly. Just select include calendar account here and you can verify with any calendar service including Google Calendar and Microsoft Outlook. Next up, we wan na stay with our account settings this time we’re gon na go to account account settings and I just wan na encourage you to submit an image. If this is conferences or visits that people are going to be scheduling with you, I recommend that you put your good profile photo here along with your name and maybe a welcome message simply when they land on your beginning page. Next action, you likewise wan na make a quick stop at the branding page to include your business logo design or some other image that you wish to include here. And last but not least, we can click on the my link.
Now this is most likely more crucial than you think. In many cases, you’re gon na wan na put the name of your service or maybe it’s your full name. Remember, this is the URL that you are gon na be sharing with users. This is what you can link from your website or your social networks accounts or you can simply copy and paste this and give it to individuals straight so that they can arrive on your Calendly page. All right, once you have actually been finished with your account settings, let’s return to the home screen. I just wan na reveal you where some of those changes occur. I’m gon na click my link here just to show you where this shows up. This is the preliminary landing page where individuals are gon na see my profile image, my name and that welcome message. I’ve got two occasions presently that people can choose from and when they click among those occasions, they are also gon na see my branding here. This is where the logo enters 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 potential leads or for your customers 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 primary page here on the house screen where you can include and modify existing events. I have actually got 2 events that I’m using at the moment but let’s go and create a brand-new event from scratch. We gon na choose that new event type, which is gon na open a new screen. We have actually got two options here, we can either develop an individually meeting or a group conference. Now a group meeting lets several invitees meet you at a single time. This may be fantastic for an instructor or if you are offering a group webinar or something along those lines here. But in many cases, most of individuals are utilizing Calendly for individually meeting.
Let’s say produce for individually. On this screen, the first thing that we need to do is give it an event name. Now keep in mind, this is more than simply your recommendation. This is what people are gon na be seen when they arrive at your Calendly page. I’m simply gon na call this one, Fulfilling with Scott, really basic here. I can determine, oop, Meeting with Scott. Let’s keep that in there. Our 2nd step is to include a location and you can see we can tell our users upfront, is this a personally meeting, a phone call or is it gon na be a specific conferencing conference such as utilizing Google Meet, Zoom, GoToMeeting or possibly something customized, something that’s not even noted here. In our example, I’m gon na select telephone call in this case. And in many cases, depending upon the choice that you pick, you may have some extra options awaiting you. For instance, do I wan na choose if I will call my invitee in this case, it’s gon na require the person who’s booking that time to list their telephone number. I need to know who I’m calling or I can choose this option, my guest should call me. In this case, I can include my wanted phone number here and the fantastic thing with Calendly is that it’s not going to display this number up until they have scheduled the visit. So if somebody is thinking about reserving time with me, it’s not as if they’re gon na see my telephone number or my dial in number right away, it’s only after they’ve scheduled the time will this number be revealed. In this case, I’m gon na state, I will call my guests ’cause I’m gon na ask them to supply their phone number. I’m gon na state upgrade, that’s gon na save that option here. Down listed below we can include a description which is something you don’t wan na overlook particularly if you have several events that you’re gon na be offering to your users. So I’m just gon na state, this is a conference with Scott for a consulting session, something like that, just something so they can distinguish what this event has to do with compared to perhaps some of the other occasions that I have available. And then just listed below the description, we have our occasion link. Now we currently talked briefly about having your domain name or your service name or maybe your full name to get them to your primary Calendly page but this is something that you can share in addition, a separate URL. In this case again, you wan na attempt make it as particular as possible. So possibly I’m gon na say, fulfilling Scott, something like that, something that’s so easy for me to identify however likewise if I just copy and paste this link, they know what they’re getting as well.
And last but not least, we can choose a various color. This is really useful if you have several occasions, I’m gon na pick red in this case just so it stands out from the other occasions that I have actually currently produced. Now as soon as we hit next, we’re gon na get to the nuts and bolts of our occasion. In this menu screen called when can people book this event. So by opening this app, you’re gon na see a lot of
