Book a call with Tim, straight from the Scalus app

Booking a call with me used to be a back and forth. A client would message "can we have a quick call", I would send a couple of times, they would pick one, and then somebody would need to pass the video link on to whoever else was joining. If the call was for two people at the business, the second person usually heard about it by word of mouth and had no link and no reminder.

What you can do now

In the Scalus app, under Support, there is now Book a call with Tim and Call Tim now. Book a call opens a page with your details already filled in and the free times on my calendar for the next three weeks. Every call is 20 minutes on video.

• Pick a time. Only times I am actually free are shown, so there is no back and forth.
• Add your team with one tap. Anyone else on your business account appears as a button. Tap it and they are on the call. You can add anyone else by name and mobile too.
• One confirmation email. It carries the video link, a calendar invite, and buttons for Google Calendar, Outlook and Apple Calendar. Everyone you added gets the same.
• Text reminders. Every mobile on the booking gets a text from Scalus 1 hour before and 10 minutes before, with a tap to join link and my number in case anything goes wrong.
• Move or cancel yourself. The link in your email lets you change the time or cancel without messaging me.

Pick a time, tap your teammates in, and the invite and the reminders take care of the rest.

If you ask in the chat

If you message me in the app asking for a call, you will get the booking link back and the menu item will show a small pointing finger until you open it. And if you would rather just ring, Call Tim now does exactly that, Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm.
