How do you meet?

Its your lucky day! Your project just got the funding which you have been asking for four months now! Now, to get the ball rolling and start the product development process as fast as you can. You need to call in a meeting with your team immediately. For the meeting, you need to have Mike from Los Angeles, Sanjay from Bangalore, India, Brent from Boston and Linda from your office, here in California. And of course, you need to make sure that John, the VP who works out of the New York office is also present.

So, you set out to create a meeting request email in your friendly and trusty Outlook. You put down the probable free times and the location details. You then send out the email and wait to get back the responses. You do get responses but not the kind that you had in mind! Mike has a conflict on those times and cannot do it. Sanjay has not even replied to the email, Linda is on leave on that day and John is way over booked for that day.

What a nightmare! How do you make all of these raging individuals agree to a common time date and location? How do you get them to respond quickly? How much time are you going to spend to try and organize this meeting? How do you make sure that all participants will remember to come for this meeting? And God forbid, if you have to cancel the meeting for some reason! What chaos will it create?

Does this sound all too familiar to you? Have you ‘been there and done that’? Have you felt this pain before?

Well, we felt the pain too and decided to do something about it. We started to work on a new product called Zytoo. The product details will be out very soon but in the mean while, you can help us with taking our 1 minute survey. Or just comment on this blog.
All your feedbacks will help us tremendously.

Together, we CAN build a better product for managing our meeting scheduling mess!
