How to Add Calendly to Hotpresso: Boost Your Scheduling Efficiency

Hey there, Hotpresso users!

Ready to give your scheduling process a much-needed caffeine boost? Let's explore how Calendly and Hotpresso can work together to streamline your meeting bookings and increase your conversion rates.

Picture this: You're running a SaaS startup and using Hotpresso for outreach. Your email invites prospects to check out a key feature that could improve their revenue with a personalized Hotpresso link.

When they click, they land on your Hotpresso page. There's a video showcasing your product, and right next to it, a Calendly widget or CTA for booking a personalized demo. With just one click, your prospect can set up that crucial demo call. Pretty neat, right?

The cherry on top? You're not cluttering your emails with multiple links anymore. One Hotpresso link does it all — it's more likely to land in the primary inbox and makes it super easy for prospects to explore your product and book meetings.

Best Practices for Success

Our favorite is at the end, serving as a final, gentle nudge after visitors have learned about your product. Whether it's following a compelling demo video or a persuasive pitch, prompt prospects to act at the perfect moment to boost conversion rates.

2. Compelling CTAs: Get creative with your call-to-action text. Instead of a simple "Book Now," try something like "Grab Your Spot Now!" to encourage bookings. Personalize your CTAs to boost conversions even further.

3. Leverage Free Features: Make the most of Calendly's robust free tier before considering upgrades. This allows you to test the integration and see its impact on your booking rates before investing in a paid plan.
