Hello there.
I'm happy to hunt yet another GrowthHacking tool.
CalendarHunter helps you discover hidden meeting scheduling links like Calendly. CalendarHunter can help you find leads on Linkedin, Twitter, and Reddit.
You will have to schedule meetings for those leads so you will have to focus on quality and not quantity.
The tool is still early stage so any feedback is welcome.

I had a negative experience with this in the past. If someone schedules a meeting without prior notice, I won’t accept the meeting and will consider blocking them. This will set a poor precedent and I discourage it strongly.
@fabian_maume No, I would not consider the meeting request just based on additional context in the invite. It's essential for me to have prior discussions or at least some preliminary communication before committing to any scheduled meetings. This helps ensure that the meeting is relevant and valuable for everyone involved, it's not just my time, they're booking, they're booking my employer's time, they're taking time away from legitimate people I've spoken to in advance and have tried to schedule them.
If its a legitimate use-case, contact me the way everyone else has, either via email or social media, but "breaking in" to my calendar and booking an unsolicited meeting I might take the first one just to tell them off, but they will get nothing from me other than that and then I'll hang up on them.
Furthermore I will probably tell or spread the word to all my industry colleagues to be on the lookout, its disrespectful to all the ones that have earned the right to a meeting, that have worked hard to get their foot in the door and get their email read or their social DM replied to. There is not enough context that will make me consider this viable or want to take a meeting with someone who books with me this way.
@fabian_maume@mogabr But when people publish their meeting links online, they are saying: schedule a meeting with me. I actually meet random people all the time because I published my meeting link on my website -- in some cases I end the meeting early when I see they are wasting my time, in some cases I gain a client because someone really wanted to get in touch with me.
@fabian_maume@berthakgokong I see the value in posting meeting links online for roles like consultants or those focusing on generating leads and building relationships. If you're sharing these links within your network or community, it's a strategic move. But remember, once these links are online, they could reach people outside of your intended audience.
I respect your approach to take meetings and quickly assess their value, cutting them short if they don't meet your expectations. However, for me, that approach doesn't work. Each meeting I take is a commitment, and I'd rather ensure that time is well spent on interactions that are already somewhat vetted and more likely to be productive. I find that this careful selection saves me from potential time wasted, allowing me to focus on those who truly deserve my time.
@fabian_maume@berthakgokong At the very least I will give you this, regardless of how I feel about this particular product, you've generated interest in it, you've got me talking about aside from my initial comment, and others are reaching out to me on social to ask me about it, I think they think I know more about it than what I have said or what I feel. 😂
Listen, I applaud everyone that is thinking of innovative solutions, this one particularly isn't one that I can personally get behind. But that doesn't mean you won't do something else later that I will really love, so I wish you the best.
Congrats on the launch but I must say I am a little skeptical about this product, if people start booking calls on calendars to make a cold pitch then that would be a lot of wasted time and a wasted calendar slot which equals a wasted opportunity. I really hope this type of outreach does not take off, if I have this wrong in anyway please do correct me
@umar_lateef What if there is a good context provided on the calendly form ("Please share anything that will help prepare for our meeting.")? Will you consider the outreach?
@umar_lateef@fabian_maume no serious or important person in their right mind would consider that. This is a hack to expose what was intended as private information with 0 practicality or use. Its offensive to the vast majority of people receiving said invites. some tough love, move on!....
