What to do if you have scheduling conflicts when cold emailing?

If you give multiple people your availability for coffee chats and they both choose the same time, what’s the best way to handle it professionally? I'm a sophomore trying to network for IB.

Investment Banking 7 Stories Review

“Andre's strong background makes him a very motivating mentor for candidates. He is intellectual and kind, and he used our time efficiently. His feedback was clear, honest and realistic, which I value a lot. He does not just tell people what they want to hear; he pushes them to succeed. He helped me structure my 7 stories and made the whole process much easier. Without Andre, I would not have gotten my 7 stories right. I will definitely work with him again, and I am looking forward to our next meeting.”

Investment Banking Why [Industry] Review

“Andrew was incredibly knowledgeable, understanding, and genuinely helpful throughout the entire session. He took the time to understand the issues I was having, explained everything clearly, and helped me resolve them. What I really appreciated was that he went above and beyond what the session was originally booked for, offering additional advice and guidance on other areas that I hadn't even considered. He was patient, approachable, and clearly knows what he's talking about. I came away from the session with a much better understanding of everything and some really useful advice moving forward. Overall, a great experience, and I'll definitely be booking another session with him. Highly recommend!”
