Yeah, I think roughly that sort of message is what I’ll use from now on, as a result of the (rather unexpected!) data this thread has provided. It still seems to me that Calendly (at least given my flexible schedule) will very likely tend to save both parties time and effectively give them more choice over timings, but I’ll provide some particular option alongside the link from now on.
I think this would also help in cases where the person I’m talking to would feel it’s easier to make a decision if one or two options are singled out for them (e.g. Lukas, based on his comment).
Maybe one option would be to both send the Calendly and write a more standard email? E.g.:
“When would suit you? How about Tuesday 3pm or Wednesday 4pm? Alternatively, you could check my Calendly, if you prefer.”
Maybe some find that overly roundabout.
