What You Get

Our appointment setting services run on We Call for You, our done-for-you service, which is built for one thing: qualified meetings on your calendar. Every campaign includes:

  • A dedicated caller working only on your campaign
  • Call script written and tested with you
  • Daily management and quality checks by our team
  • Meetings booked straight onto your calendar
  • A recording of every call
  • Weekly report: calls made, conversations, meetings booked

Your part is small but important: tell us who you sell to, approve the script and the caller, take the meetings, and tell us which ones were a good fit.

What Counts as a Qualified Meeting

A meeting count means little until you know what counts. Before calls start, we write down with you what a qualified meeting is, using four checks:

CheckWhat it means for your campaign
Right companyThe industry, company size and location you sell to, written down before the first call
Right personThe job titles that can say yes to a meeting with you
Real reason to talkThey have the problem you solve, or they're open to hearing how others solve it
Meeting heldThe prospect actually joins at the agreed time, rather than just accepting the invite

Your weekly report shows calls made, conversations and meetings booked. When you tell us which meetings were held and were a good fit, your caller learns what a good meeting looks like for you.

How Our Appointment Setting Services Work

  1. A 30-minute call. Your offer, your buyers, the markets you sell into and what a good meeting looks like.
  2. We agree on the qualified-meeting definition and the list. Who to call, and what has to be true before a meeting counts.
  3. We match a country and test callers. Candidates do role-play calls using your offer. You hear the recordings and approve your caller.
  4. We write the script with you and check your list against the local do-not-call rules.
  5. Calls start in about 2 weeks. Your caller works your prospects' business hours and books meetings straight onto your calendar.
  6. We manage and improve. Daily quality checks, a recording of every call and a weekly report. We change one thing at a time, like the opener or the ask, based on what the calls show.

Why We Charge per Caller, Not per Meeting

Appointment setting services charge in three main ways. Here's how they compare:

ModelWhat you pay forWatch out for
Pay per appointmentEach meeting booked or heldPressure to book anyone who says yes, and extra fees for lists or setup
Monthly retainerA team's time, whatever the resultLong minimum terms and slow months you still pay for
Dedicated caller (how we charge)One full-time caller working only on your campaignYou need to agree on a clear script and a qualified-meeting definition

With a flat price per caller, you know your cost every month. As your caller gets better at your market, your cost per meeting falls, and there's no reason to book people who don't fit. Our guide to working out your real cost per meeting shows how to compare quotes.

Appointment Setting and Calling Rules

Every market has its own rules for B2B calls, such as TPS and CTPS screening in the UK, calling hours in Australia and the UAE, and presumed consent in Germany. We check your list against the local do-not-call rules before calls start, and anyone who asks not to be called again is never called again.

See the rules for each country in cold calling laws by country, or open the page for your market from the markets we call into.

Would you rather manage the caller yourself? Hire a Caller gives you a dedicated appointment setter on your team from $1,499 a month, or see our Filipino appointment setters.

FAQ

Appointment Setting Services: FAQs

What it costs, how it works and what you can expect.

What are appointment setting services?
Appointment setting services contact your prospects for you, check that they fit, and book meetings with your sales team, so you get meetings on your calendar instead of a list of leads. With Switchstack, a dedicated caller does this from $2,199 a month, with no setup fee.
How much do appointment setting services cost?
Ours cost $2,199 to $3,099 a month per full-time caller, set by the country your caller works from, with no setup fee and no per-meeting charges. Across the market, agencies' own price guides quote about $50 to $300 per meeting for pay-per-appointment, and $3,000 to $10,000 a month for agency retainers. Compare options on what each qualified meeting held costs you, not on the headline price.
How many meetings will I get?
We don't promise a number before we've called your market, because it depends on your offer, your list and your buyers. You see calls made, conversations and meetings booked every week, and you can listen to any call. If your caller isn't a fit in the first 30 days, we replace them for free.
Do you charge per meeting?
No. You pay one flat monthly price per full-time caller. That keeps the focus on meetings that fit your definition, not on booking anyone who says yes.
Who makes the calls?
A dedicated caller who works only on your campaign, from the Philippines, India, South Africa or Latin America, chosen to match your market. Every caller is tested on role-play calls using your offer, and you hear the recordings and approve your caller before calls start.
What counts as a qualified meeting?
The definition you agree on with us before calls start: the right type of company, the right person, a real reason to talk, and a meeting that actually happens. We write it down so you, your caller and the weekly numbers all use the same rule.
Which countries can you book meetings in?
We call into 19 markets, including the US, the UK, Canada, Australia, the UAE, Singapore, Germany and the Nordics. Each has a page with its calling rules and the caller country we recommend.
What is the difference between appointment setting and lead generation?
Lead generation finds people who might buy. Appointment setting contacts them, checks that they fit, and books a meeting with your seller. Our appointment setting services do the second part, working the list you give us or one we agree on together.
How quickly can you start?
Calls usually start in about 2 weeks: a 30-minute call with you, then we test callers on your offer, you approve one, and we agree on the script and the qualified-meeting definition.
