We still coordinate meetings as if everyone’s availability were written in a paper planner. When you want to meet someone outside your company, you usually ask when they are free. And from there, you all iterate until you find a suitable date for every participant. That is exactly how meeting coordination worked when calendars were paper planners. The only way to know when someone was available was to ask them to look. Today, everyone’s availability is already stored in a digital calendar, but we still move that information around manually through emails, messages and phone calls. The cost is easy to overlook because it comes a few minutes at a time. But those minutes add up: time lost in emails, follow-ups, interruptions and context switching; meetings happening later, which slows decisions, projects and sales cycles; and sometimes lost opportunities when coordination simply takes too long. Ask My Envoy lets you focus on the meeting, not on the work of making it happen. Instead of bothering everyone with “Are you available next Tuesday?”, you ask your Envoy to handle the coordination, so you can focus on preparing the meeting instead of making it happen.
