The P I’m networking with didn’t join our 1:1 Skype call. He logged off before the call time 😭. I want to ask if he’d want to reschedule “sorry we missed the call today. Would you want to reschedule?

If he didn't click accept someone might have booked over your meeting. This happens so just reschedule it.

Just find another time on their calendar. Reduce the back and forth.

Please let me know if there is a time you prefer.” for this first Skype meeting, he did say his calendar was up to date and he’s only out on Wednesday. That’s why I schedule on a free slot on his Thursday schedule. But then he didn’t join today.

It might be better to call directly versus setting up a Skype meeting

Honestly, most partners I know prefer it. Just put on the location invite "sc to call partner at (partner cell phone number)'

If it’s not urgent, schedule it for next year. Most people are trying to wrap up and leave early. And don’t apologize, just be bold and reschedule.
