Appointment Setter

I didn't ask for opinions or what you think. If you want to help recommend someone I can use to set my appointments.

Despite what you may think, responses like this don't help you and reflect an inability to take constructive criticism.

You have gotten two different takes on the issue. A smart man would listen and if hell bent on it, would talk privately to those who support the idea.
 
I have talked to someone of my situation. My mentor who makes $300K a year recommended I get an appointment setter. I am following his instructions. I don't do things blindly. But someone making suggestions without asking me of the details knows nothing. Maybe they should have sent me a message to find out what's going on instead of having diarrhea of the mouth.
 
Wow, you guys must be working a LOT of leads... how many? 30, 40, 50 leads a week?

My experience is that unless you're just terrible on the phone or working a LOT of leads, an appointment setter is a good way of throwing money away!

Think about it! Does your appointment setter spend $20-$30 on each lead? Nope! So she won't treat each lead the way you will!

Wondering why you would hire an appointment setter if you are already buying leads...

Its paying double; might as well hire a producer to work the leads...

An appointment setter is mainly worthwhile if you have a regular list that is cheep which the caller cultivates over time.

For example: on a commercial campaign you would get a big list by industry, employee count demographics... can get it for 50 or so bucks like from josh.

this list is not leads. They are just records phone numbers essentially.
You would pay the telemarketer to call gather renewals and set appointments along the way.

If your paying for leads people supposedly interested already appointment setting is not the way to go. Honestly appointment setters I find are last resorts because you cannot buy certain types of leads. Not many companies sell leads for 50+ employees on P&C so you have to cultivate it from scratch. Its much cheaper buying leads and having producers work them for 20$ a lead or w.e then paying a caller hourly + spiffs to generate leads. Especially if most of the effective dates they mine are for next year... waiting months to have a shot of it becoming revenue generating.

To be helpful I can suggest a few companies that do appointment setting for b2b such as general liability, workers comp etc.-

Yes, you did. You clearly 100% asked for opinions. May I quote you?

"I am also looking for an appointment setter. Any tips like how much to pay etc. will help out. Thanks"

The forum gave you tips - you just didn't like them. ;)
