Why This Template Works
A well-crafted meeting confirmation email does more than remind prospects of the appointment—it sets the stage for a productive conversation and dramatically reduces no-shows. Studies show that proper confirmation emails can reduce no-show rates by up to 40%.
The agenda section is critical. When prospects know exactly what to expect, they come prepared and engaged. It also positions you as organized and respectful of their time, which builds trust before you even meet.
Including a clear meeting link and asking for input accomplishes two things: it removes friction from joining, and it gives you valuable intel about their priorities before the call even starts.
When to Use This Template
Key Elements That Make It Work
Clear Date/Time/Timezone
Always specify the timezone to avoid confusion. Include the day of the week as a reference point. Consider linking to a world clock for international meetings.
Structured Agenda
List 3-4 specific topics you'll cover with time estimates. This shows you've prepared and helps the prospect mentally prepare as well.
Easy-Access Meeting Link
Make the join link prominent and easy to find. Test it before sending. Include dial-in options for backup.
Pre-Meeting Question
Asking what they'd like to address gives you insight and increases their commitment to attending. Their response also confirms they've seen the email.

Frequently Asked Questions
Should I send a confirmation email if the calendar invite went out?
Yes. Calendar invites often lack context and can get lost among dozens of other meetings. A personal confirmation email with an agenda shows you've prepared and increases show rates significantly.
How far in advance should I send the confirmation?
Send the detailed confirmation immediately after booking, then a brief reminder 24 hours before. For meetings booked more than a week out, consider an additional reminder 3 days prior.
What if they don't respond to my confirmation email?
Don't panic—many people read confirmations without replying. The 24-hour reminder serves as a second touchpoint. If they haven't responded to either and it's an important meeting, a quick LinkedIn message can help.
Should I include a reschedule option in the confirmation?
Yes, especially in the reminder email. Making it easy to reschedule prevents no-shows from people who forgot to tell you they can't make it. It's better to reschedule than to have a no-show.
How detailed should the agenda be?
Keep it to 3-4 bullet points with rough time estimates. Too detailed feels rigid; too vague doesn't help them prepare. Focus on the value they'll get from each section, not just topics.
