Call Me Ready — LinkedIn Meeting Prep

Call Me Ready is a free Chrome extension that adds a meeting-prep button to LinkedIn profiles. Open the profile of whoever you are meeting, click once, and get a short brief covering who they are, what their company does, and the talking points worth raising. It is built for sales, business development, and anyone who walks into calls under-prepared.

Chrome Web Store

Call Me Ready installs in a couple of clicks and runs entirely in your browser on the LinkedIn profiles you already visit.

Why meeting prep gets skipped

Most people intend to research the person they are meeting and then run out of time. The profile is right there, but reading a full work history, scanning recent posts, and working out what the company actually sells takes longer than the gap between two calls.

The result is a first meeting spent asking questions the profile already answered. That costs credibility in the opening minutes, which is exactly where a call is won or lost.

How a one-click brief changes the routine

Because the extension works on the profile page itself, prep happens where you already are. There is no separate tab, no pasting a URL into another tool, and no notes document to maintain.

A short brief is also easier to use than a long one. Two or three specifics — a recent role change, a company focus, a topic they post about — give you enough to open a conversation properly without sounding rehearsed.
