In practice

How Doodle and Caletus handle the same job.

The situation

A prospect wants to talk to sales this week.

With DoodleA poll asks the prospect and others to vote first, so the meeting waits until the votes are in. A Doodle booking page avoids this but has fewer team options.

With CaletusThe prospect picks a slot directly. The invite with a Zoom link goes out right away.

What it means: The meeting is booked while the buyer is still interested.
