B2B Appointment Setting

The process of setting up appointments to sell products or services to new companies is paramount for any organization. You should set up appointments with new potential clients if your organization isn’t growing.
The responsibility of salespeople is usually to set up appointments with potential customers. There are positions dedicated to appointment setting, called inside salespeople. An inside salesperson’s job is to initiate new conversations, which is precisely what appointment setters do. Several organizations outsource the appointment setting process to third parties and pay them per appointment set.////

Appointment setup is the process of delegating prospects to sales reps so that closing salespeople can focus on qualifying leads. You wouldn’t have much luck closing deals if you didn’t have an appointment setup strategy in place.////

The cost of setting an appointment ranges widely. A few key components determine how much setting an appointment can cost.
1. Identify your buyer personas – You will need to consider the type of buyer you are targeting when calculating the overall cost. If you need to speak with the CFO of a company, should you contact its directors and managers? There are more potential buyers, so you have to pay less per appointment
2. Technology – Will you be using the appointment setting company’s technology or your own? How about outreach and salesloft cadence tools?
3. Databases – Do you have contact information for potential buyers, such as emails and phone numbers? These will add to the cost if they need to be purchased or built.
4. The resource requirements include- Would the appointment setter have to be in the BD for this complex sale, or could you use someone from outside the BD? The overall cost depends on the type of resource you need.
5. Contract Length/Minimum – How long do you plan on hiring an appointment setting service for? Most businesses offer better pricing options the longer you work with them.
6. Setup of the contract – Would you prefer to pay per appointment, or add a percentage of commission based on closed deals? If you are only paying for appointments, the price will be higher than if you are paying per appointment plus a percentage of closed deals. The overall cost can also be influenced by bonuses for the actual appointment setters or for the company on specific performance.////

Scheduling an appointment is challenging for everyone! The same challenges apply to a third party company as well when it comes to outbound marketing. If you treat appointment setting companies as you would a new hire; training, on boarding, etc., you are more likely to be successful.

The purpose of appointment setting is to get your company in front of a large number of new clients so that you can form new alliances or sell more products. The purpose of lead generation, on the other hand, is to locate new potential clients who are interested in your product or service.
