Scheduling meetings shouldn't require multiple emails. Give prospects and customers appointment scheduling power with a meeting scheduler.
A meeting scheduler is software that facilitates a group of individuals scheduling a meeting easily and quickly.
Rather than having back-and-forth conversations finding a time that works, a meeting scheduler is a link that your team can send to one or more individuals allowing them to see available times for the person or group they are trying to book with.
Here is a list of software
to book appointments online:
HubSpot Free Meeting Scheduler
HubSpot’s meeting scheduler automatically syncs to your Google or Office 365 calendar, so existing and prospective customers can always find times that work for them and you.
Send group meeting links to allow prospects to schedule time with more than one person in your organization.
No designated sales rep? Set up a round-robin meeting scheduler so prospects can book appointments with the sales rep whose availability works best for their schedule.
As prospects schedule meetings, they’ll automatically be added to your HubSpot contacts database, so your database grows and stays organized.
Schedule more meetings and generate more leads by embedding your calendar on your website—no coding needed. Then sit back as prospects conveniently schedule meetings with you directly on your website.
And if you’re already emailing with a prospect, include your calendar link in your message to make scheduling appointments convenient (and headache-free) for all

timetrade
Since TimeTrade integrates with both Outlook and Google Calendar, it lets you know immediately when someone has made an appointment. The time slot is then blocked automatically so that there are no overbookings. In fact, if you get carried away with your pencil before checking your calendar, you may find that TimeTrade has already done the job.
It is easy to use, the customer service is outstanding and since my focus is on marketing and service, I appreciate how TimeTrade extends presence online in such a way to make it simple to understand and use by those who want to connect with me. (They even send an automatic reminder to the person who made an appointment.)
The TimeTrade scheduling tool becomes an interactive experience each step of the way for the user as they can input answers to specific questions.
Bookafy
Bookafy was built on the belief that appointments, no-shows and calling to confirm shouldn’t run your business– you should!
Bookafy works with small businesses around the globe to simplify appointment setting for a variety of industries including salons, home service companies, wellness clinics, counselors and more.
With Bookafy, your clients can schedule appointments online 24/7 and you will be notified the moment you get a new booking. You can see your new appointments right on your phone or on any of your other calendar devices with our calendar synchronizing with Google, Outlook, Office 365, AOL and many others.
Bookafy also accepts payments via credit card processing. Something I am unable to do with TimeTrade. This is a big plus. Note how customer service is available 24/7 and the company offers are real contact phone number. No mystery. Sure, this company is in Seattle which gives it extra points on my list.
Bookafy starts at "free."
