When to Use This Template

Scheduling meetings with clients should be frictionless, yet many agencies turn it into an email chain of 5-10 messages just to find a mutually available time. This template streamlines the process by providing clear options and removing ambiguity. Use this template whenever you need to schedule a call, review session, or strategy meeting with a client. It works for both initial meetings with prospects and regular check-ins with existing clients. The key is presenting 2-3 specific time options rather than the vague "When are you free?" that leads to endless back-and-forth. For recurring meetings (weekly standups, monthly reviews), use this template once to establish the cadence, then set up calendar invites. For one-off meetings, consider using a scheduling tool link alongside your proposed times to give the client maximum flexibility while minimizing the coordination effort.

Best Practices

Offer Specific Times, Not Open Availability

Saying "I am available Tuesday at 2pm, Wednesday at 10am, or Thursday at 3pm" is far more effective than "Let me know when you are free." Specific options reduce decision fatigue and typically lead to scheduling confirmation in one exchange instead of three or four.

Include the Meeting Purpose and Duration

Always state why you are meeting and how long it will take. "30-minute call to review the Q1 campaign results and discuss Q2 strategy" helps the client prepare appropriately and block the right amount of time. Vague meeting requests get deprioritized or forgotten.

Account for Time Zones

If you work with clients in different time zones, always specify the time zone when proposing times. Better yet, present times in both your time zone and theirs. This small detail prevents no-shows caused by timezone confusion and demonstrates attention to detail.

Send a Calendar Invite Immediately

As soon as a time is confirmed, send a calendar invite with a video call link, agenda, and any preparation notes. Do not wait for the client to ask. Proactive calendar management reduces no-shows and demonstrates the organizational professionalism clients expect from their agency.

  • Always include a clear purpose and agenda so they can prepare

  • Send a reminder 24 hours before the meeting

Frequently Asked Questions

How far in advance should I request meetings?

Request meetings 1-2 weeks in advance for best availability. For urgent matters, same-week scheduling is fine, but be flexible. Always provide multiple time options or a calendar link.

Should I include an agenda in the scheduling email?

Yes, always include a brief agenda. It helps attendees prepare, shows you respect their time, and ensures productive meetings. Keep it concise—3-5 bullet points is ideal.

What if they don't respond to my meeting request?

Follow up after 3-5 days with a gentle reminder and additional time options. If still no response after 2 follow-ups, consider if the meeting is truly necessary or if email/async communication would work better.

Should I use calendar booking tools?

Yes, calendar booking tools (Calendly, Acuity, etc.) reduce back-and-forth and let clients choose times that work. Include both options: specific times and a booking link for maximum flexibility.
