Request Meetings That Get Accepted

Busy people ignore vague meeting requests. AI helps you write focused requests with clear value propositions.

Works with:

ChatGPTClaudeGrok

Example Prompt

I need to request a meeting with [PERSON AND ROLE]. Purpose: [WHY YOU WANT TO MEET]. What I want to discuss: [SPECIFIC TOPICS]. Preferred length: [TIME]. Write a meeting request that: 1) Clearly states the purpose, 2) Explains why it's worth their time, 3) Suggests specific times or asks for their availability.

Pro Tip

Propose 2-3 specific time slots rather than asking "when are you free?" It reduces back-and-forth and shows you respect their time.

Request Meetings That Get Accepted

"Can we meet sometime?" rarely works. Busy people need to know exactly what they're agreeing to.

The Problem

Bad meeting requests:

  • Don't explain the purpose
  • Ask for too much time
  • Create scheduling ping-pong

How AI Helps

AI crafts meeting requests that clearly communicate value, making it easy for recipients to say yes and find time.

When to Use This

  • Requesting time with executives
  • Scheduling client calls
  • Setting up project kickoffs
  • Arranging mentorship sessions
  • Planning cross-team collaboration

Tips for Best Results

  1. Lead with purpose - Why should they meet with you?
  2. Be specific about time - 15 minutes or 30? Don't waste their time
  3. Offer options - Suggest times, don't just ask "when works?"
  4. Include an agenda preview - What will you cover?

Try It Now

Copy the prompt, describe your meeting purpose, and create a request that gets accepted.
