/ B2B appointment setting

Appointments with decision-makers in your target market, without your sales team having to make the calls

New customers come from conversations with the right people, not from lists. You get appointments with decision-makers who have a clear need, and your sales team spends its time on what it does best: selling.

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT

90% of scheduled appointments take place. We call the other 10% back and reschedule them.

Appointments in the short term

You only receive appointments that meet four criteria:

✓

a decision-maker or influencer on the line

✓

the company fits your target market

✓

the company fits your target market

✓

realistic timing

A pipeline for the months ahead

Not every company is ready for a conversation today. You know exactly which companies to approach again, when and why. That is how you build a predictable pipeline.

Market intelligence

You learn why companies don't want an appointment: an existing contract, a satisfied supplier, no budget, other priorities or objections to your proposition. You see which objections keep coming up and can sharpen your sales pitch accordingly.

A good fit if you

✓

want to reach business customers with a service that needs a conversation

✓

know who the decision-makers are, or want to identify them together

✓

have a sales team that can follow up appointments

Less suitable if you

want to reach consumers

sell a product that is bought online without a conversation

do not yet have the capacity to follow up appointments

Are there appointments to be won in your target market?

A one-hour introductory meeting gives you an honest answer. You then receive a proposal for a pilot of 10 calling days or more.
