One sales tactic that is often overlooked by sales professionals is creating a personal meeting link in their email signature. This particular feature is extremely useful due to the flexibility, integration capabilities, automation, and allowing the prospect to choose when it's a good time to meet. Let's get started with creating your first personal meeting link in HubSpot and you can read a more detailed blog on HubSpot's Knowledge Base.
The Details Section

2. Click “Sales” in the top menu
3. In the dropdown, click “Meetings”
4. In the top right corner click the orange button “Create meeting link”
5. In the dropdown click “Personal”
6. By clicking “Change photo” you can add a personal image to your meeting profile.

Availability Section
This section is completely up to the individual but I would recommend not leaving your calendar wide open each and every day because you have a variety of other sales tasks that you are trying to complete. Also, since your calendar is integrated with HubSpot someone will not be able to book a meeting with you if you have a meeting, event, or vacation time on your calendar.
Once you have established your availability, click “Next” in the bottom right-hand corner.
Form Question Section
1. Click the button “+ Contact property”
2. In the search bar type in “phone” and select “Phone number”
3. Click “Save”
4. In the bottom right, click “Save changes”

That's It!
From here you can make a lot of modifications and add various types of automation to make booking your next sales meeting easier.
