Both LinkedIn and Calendly are essential tools for client engagement, especially for solopreneurs, recruiters, and small business leaders who rely on social selling – 78% of social sellers outperform peers who don’t use social media during the sales cycle according to LinkedIn. By connecting Calendly and LinkedIn, subscribers eliminate the need to toggle between workplace apps and browsers, freeing up more time to improve essential relationships. With Calendly, busy professionals can take a hands-off approach to managing their schedule, meetings are confirmed instantly and added to their calendar, and reminders are sent automatically to increase attendance.

“Incorporating my Calendly link into the ‘Book an Appointment’ button on my LinkedIn profile page has improved my entire go-to-market strategy,” said Liam Darmody, founder of Liam’s Brand Stand, a personal branding and executive coaching consultancy. “The fact that a prospective client doesn’t need to message me to book a meeting, and can instead schedule at their convenience, makes inbound lead sourcing a much more efficient and effective process. The Calendly-powered LinkedIn button works on my behalf and has allowed me to book nearly 200 new business meetings since I added it to my profile.”

“LinkedIn is my digital storefront, and with the ‘Book an Appointment’ button with Calendly now integrated directly into my profile, scheduling a meeting is effortless—no extra steps, no separate website,” said Corrina Owens, Founder and GTM Advisor. “Over 90% of my sales meetings come from people who’ve never messaged me; they’ve been quietly following my content, and when they’re ready, they book a time directly. This type of frictionless experience is something buyers have come to expect as table stakes.”

The announcement builds on Calendly and LinkedIn’s existing partnership. The Calendly browser extension offers LinkedIn users one-click access to the scheduling platform from LinkedIn Messaging and InMail.

“Since launching custom buttons, personalized call to action links on your profile, we’ve been encouraged to see subscribers more than double their leads,” says Ora Levit, Vice President of Product at LinkedIn. “Now with Calendly we’re making it easier than ever to connect with those prospective leads.”

In 2013, driven by his own frustrations with scheduling meetings, Tope Awotona invested his life savings into creating Calendly. The platform simplifies the process of scheduling by eliminating the back-and-forth emails typically involved in setting up meetings. Under his leadership, Calendly has experienced significant growth and, as of 2022, was valued at over $3 billion.

Beyond his business achievements, Awotona is committed to giving back to the community. He and Calendly have donated more than $100,000 to organizations such as Black Girls Code and My Brother’s Keeper, reflecting his dedication to supporting educational and entrepreneurial opportunities for underrepresented groups.
