Appointment Setter

[John Galt]

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.-

I disagree completely, thats all Im gonna say about your post, pure nonsense. Most top producers have an appt setter. Its a personal choice, there is no right or wrong answer, so what if a producer wants to hire an appt setter and spend $500 to $1000 month...if they hate setting appts its a very good option. You have to keep yourself happy, many producers down right suck on the phone, when you factor working a lot of hours in the field and working many leads an appt setter just plain makes sense. Not just in insurance, in any industry. So why do you care if someone uses one or not, its their business....you do it your way and they do it their way, case closed.

Now that I think about it, you do realize you are in the FE section right? Or did that slip by you Holmes.

Are you arguing with yourself??

I'm really good on the phone. On Saturdays I can set 6-10 appointments in 45min-1.5 hours. But to me, I feel like I'm wasting my Saturday morning and my whole Wednesday to set appts. I run appts Mon and Thur. So maybe I'll get an appt setter one day.

Why would you spend the time hiring one? You know they'd quit after 2 days!?
