Book more meetings with Calendly + LinkedIn

For many small businesses, solopreneurs, and service providers, LinkedIn is a must-have tool for business growth. When you add Calendly to the mix, you can turn connections and conversations into booked meetings right from LinkedIn.

With Calendly + LinkedIn, you can:

• Source more leads by adding your Calendly scheduling link to your LinkedIn profile as a custom button or text link

• Turn messages into meetings by sharing your scheduling link(s) from LinkedIn Messaging, including LinkedIn Recruiter and Sales Navigator toolbars

Connecting Calendly and LinkedIn makes it easier for inbound leads to schedule with you, so you create a better client experience, book more meetings, and connect with the right people faster. You don’t have to toggle between browser tabs or apps, giving you more time back to focus on building those relationships.

Here’s how Calendly + LinkedIn work together to help you grow your business, including real-world examples from solopreneurs and small businesses.

Add a “Book an appointment” button to your LinkedIn profile

Make it faster and easier for prospective clients to book with you by adding a custom “Book an appointment” button to your LinkedIn profile. Available to LinkedIn Premium Business subscribers, the custom button appears on your profile, posts, messages, and search results — and links directly to your Calendly booking page.

Corrina Owens, Founder and Go-to-Market (GTM) Advisor, doesn’t have a website for her business. Instead, she uses a LinkedIn Premium Business profile with a “Book an appointment” button to bring in new client inquiries.

“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.”

Over 90% of Corrina’s meetings come from people who have never messaged her. They’ve been following her content, and when they’re ready to learn more, they book a time with her directly. “This type of frictionless experience is something buyers have come to expect as table stakes,” says Corrina.

Liam Darmody has seen similar results for Liam’s Brand Stand, his personal branding and executive coaching consultancy. “Incorporating my Calendly link into the ‘Book an appointment’ button on my LinkedIn profile page has improved my entire go-to-market strategy,” says Liam.

“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.”

Liam has booked nearly 200 meetings with inbound leads through the custom button. Adding Calendly to his profile helps Liam:

• Add clear calls-to-action (CTAs) to his LinkedIn posts: “Interested in building your personal brand on LinkedIn? Book an appointment with me via the button at the top of this post and let's chat!”

• Offer an easier, faster way for potential clients to book with him

• Free up time to focus on other work

You need a LinkedIn Premium Business account to add a custom button that appears on your profile, posts, messages, and search results. On the free version of LinkedIn, you can add your scheduling link to the website field on your profile. The website field appears as a text link when viewers click “Contact info” on your profile.

Turn LinkedIn messages into meetings

Picture this: You’ve connected with a prospective client on LinkedIn, and you’re having a great conversation via LinkedIn Messaging. They’re ready to hop on a call to learn more about your services.

Now you just need to share your scheduling link.

Without Calendly + LinkedIn: You navigate away from LinkedIn, hunt through tabs for your scheduling app, find the right link, copy it, and then return to LinkedIn. That delay is just long enough for your prospect to disengage.

With Calendly + LinkedIn: You have the Calendly browser extension, so you can insert the scheduling link for your “30 Minute Consultation” Event Type right from the LinkedIn Messaging toolbar. Your prospect clicks through, sees your availability, and chooses a time that works for them. You just booked an intro call without ever leaving LinkedIn.

Calendly’s free browser extension for Chrome, Edge, and Firefox adds a Calendly button to LinkedIn Messaging, Sales Navigator, and Recruiter. With one click, you can see your recent Event Types and copy and paste your scheduling links. Connections, prospects, and candidates can click the link, see your availability, and book a meeting at the height of their interest.

See it in action:

The browser extension also lets you create and share a one-off meeting link to book a one-time, high-priority meeting that doesn’t match your regular Event Types or schedule. Need to get together with a group? Create and send a Meeting Poll via LinkedIn Messaging so everyone can vote on their preferred meeting time.

Calendly for LinkedIn Messaging is available to all Calendly users, including on the free plan. Learn how to install and use Calendly for LinkedIn Messaging in this help center article.
