PSAs vs. calendar links

Sharing your calendar link when you have a lot of free slots feels miserable.

People think you're not a busy person, but the truth is you're simply able to shift your work around to accommodate the other side.

Solution

Send a calendar booking linkSend a personal scheduling agent link and have the agent work out a time in a way that skips the wide-angle view.

maria.coach/myagent

Then the agent will help them find a slot in a way that doesn't make you look un-busy!

Maria's booking agent
Hello, I'm Maria's scheduling agent! Let me know what time works for you, or if you like I can suggest Thursday at 3pm Eastern.
That doesn't work for me, anything on Friday in the morning?
Yes I've got Friday morning at 10am, how does that sound?
Have you got 9am?
Maria has something at that time but it's an engagement she's labelled as possible to move, would you like me to pencil it in?
Yes if you can thanks.
Great, I've created the meeting and you should see a Google calendar invite email. I'll leave it to Maria to reach out if that's not going to work.

The difference

PSA links versus calendar links

One hands over your calendar. One handles the conversation.

Visibility
Calendar linkAll of your free slots are visible for the person to see.
Personal scheduling agent (PSA) linkThe agent can subtly steer the person towards a suitable time without revealing how free you are (or could be mistakenly understood to be).
Negotiation
Calendar linkTake a slot or leave the page. Nothing suitable means an email asking for something else.
Personal scheduling agent (PSA) linkNothing suits? Say so. The agent offers alternatives, holds a tentative time, or asks you before promising anything.
Context
Calendar linkA name, an email, and a one-line reason if you added the field.
Personal scheduling agent (PSA) linkThe agent draws out what the meeting is actually about, pushes back on thin answers, and sends it to you as a Google Form before you meet.
Different situations
Calendar linkOne link, or a separate event type to configure for each kind of meeting.
Personal scheduling agent (PSA) linkA link per situation, each with its own agent that knows the rules for friends, for clients, or for meeting somewhere in person.
You, in the loop
Calendar linkYou find out when the invite lands.
Personal scheduling agent (PSA) linkWatch the conversation live, and jump in yourself when something has just opened up or the answer needs to be yours.
Where it lives
Calendar linkTheir domain, their servers, their subscription.
Personal scheduling agent (PSA) linkYour own domain and your own accounts, for a one-time fee, and we cannot see the conversations.
