Appointment setting is often the missing link between lead generation and actual revenue. It’s not just about booking a time—it’s about making sure the prospect is qualified, interested and ready to hear your offer.

Appointment setting is the act of scheduling meetings with prospects who match your target audience. This can be done through cold calls, emails or LinkedIn messages. The goal is to create sales-ready conversations for your team.
