Organizing meetings online
January 30, 2012
Do you need to organize a convenient meeting time for a group of people? This is not an easy task and it is wise to use a meeting organizer such as ScheduleOnce.
ScheduleOnce enables you to easily organize meetings online and propose times in which the meeting can take place and then have the invitees provide their availability against these times. This process is quick and easy and is done by sending a simple web link to the invitees. Once all invitees have replied everyone's availability is laid out in a horizontal free/busy view and you can easily see the times that work best. If its a large meeting with many attendees, let's say 20 or more the chances that you will find a time that works for all is slim. It's about finding the time that works for the highest number of invitees so that you can maximize meeting attendance.
Its also important to say that ScheduleOnce can easily connect to your calendar. When a meeting is scheduled in ScheduleOnce it automatically gets scheduled in your calendar, increasing productivity and ensuring you never get double booked.
Outbound scheduling is typically used for Organizing group Meetings Online. You propose a few times and invitees respond with their availability. You then pick a time and schedule the meeting.
Inbound scheduling is used for scheduling one on one meetings and appointments. People click your MeetMe link, see when you're available and schedule time with you in seconds.
How does it work? You create a new invitation which is just like an invitation in any personal calendar. The difference is that the ScheduleOnce invitation allows you to propose more than one time. you actually provide a range of times in which the meeting can take place. You then save and create the invitation. A unique link is generated and you can share this link with your invitees who click on it and provide their availability to the times that you proposed. When all have replied you can see everyone's availability laid out nicely and can pick the best time effortlessly.
ScheduleOnce can also connect to your calendar so once you schedule the meeting it will automatically show up in your calendar and notify all your invitees.
So if you are organizing meetings online give ScheduleOnce a try and see how much time you will save.
