APPOINTMENT SETTING

Successful appointment setting requires meaningful human interaction with senior decision makers

To achieve high-value conversions means securing the time of your senior prospects, either face-to-face or over the phone. However, confirming appointments with decision makers takes time, skill and strong powers of persuasion.

Reach Senior Decision Makers

Identify and reach high value decision makers

A phone call combined with the persuasive skills of seasoned telemarketers, persistent and undeterred by gatekeepers, gets you the attention of the senior decision makers you struggle to reach through digital channels.

Compliant with your needs

High quality appointments

Our expert appointment setting service not only frees up sales time but ensures well-qualified appointments, fully compliant with your needs.

Quality:

Systematic qualification through BANT (Budget, Authority, Need, Timescale) or other criteria and rigorous checks ensure time is spent with qualified, interested, budget-holding decision makers.

Opportunity:

Agents work unscripted to establish pain points and understand customer needs, bringing high-value opportunities and account intelligence to the surface.

Insight:

Shared with sales staff increases their ability to convert, provides market and competitor intelligence, and feeds long-term strategy.

Performance:

Call recordings, closed loop feedback, and live online reporting support continuous programme improvements.

Your Questions Answered

Answers to common questions about pricing, people, data, processes and more…

Can you set appointments with C-suite decision makers?

Yes. Telemarketing is one of the most effective ways to engage busy C-suite contacts who may not be actively searching online or aware of your brand. A live conversation cuts through digital noise, builds rapport and opens doors that email alone often cannot.

Can you target specific industries?

Yes. TTMC tailors every campaign to target your specified industries, company sizes, decision-maker types and objectives.

We work across a broad range of sectors – including technology, finance, manufacturing, professional services, healthcare and regulated industries. As an FCA-authorised business, we frequently support financial services organisations with compliance-sensitive campaigns.

See the breadth of industry experience in our Customer Success Stories.

Do appointment setters follow a script?

Yes and no – depending on the model. TTMC uses structured calls, but our agents do not read rigid scripts. Instead, they follow a flexible framework that covers key points and qualifying questions while allowing natural, engaging conversations that still achieve the required outcomes.

Do you provide data or use my existing database?

Both. TTMC can work with your existing database or source data aligned to your ideal customer profile. We also provide data cleanse and enhancement services to ensure accuracy and completeness.

Do your appointment setting services cover both inbound and outbound calls?

Yes. TTMC agents can proactively reach out to new prospects or follow up and qualify inbound leads that have already engaged with your brand.
