How our appointment setting works

We take care of everything between a target list and a booked meeting: research, outreach, qualification and scheduling. Your sales team simply steps into prepared meetings with the right people.

  1. Tell us your goals

    Who you sell to, where in the UK, and how many meetings you need each month.

  2. We build your campaign

    Target list, talk track and qualification criteria – agreed with you before we pick up the phone.

  3. Meetings in your diary

    Our appointment setters book qualified meetings with decision-makers straight into your calendar.

  4. Track the results

    Regular reports show calls, conversations and appointments against target.

Appointment setting that plays by UK rules

Outbound sales in the UK is governed by UK GDPR, the Data Protection Act 2018 and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR). The Data (Use and Access) Act 2025 raises the maximum PECR fine to UK GDPR levels. Every campaign we run is built to follow these rules.

UK GDPR and legitimate interests

Most B2B prospecting relies on legitimate interests as its lawful basis. That means a documented legitimate interests assessment, contacting people in relevant roles about relevant offers, and giving privacy information at the first point of contact.

Read the guide

TPS and Corporate TPS screening

PECR bans unsolicited sales calls to numbers on the Corporate Telephone Preference Service (CTPS) and, for sole traders and most partnerships, the TPS. Lists are screened before every campaign and at least every 28 days.

PECR rules for B2B email

Limited companies, LLPs and public bodies can be emailed without prior consent, as long as the sender is identified and every message offers an easy opt-out. Sole traders and most partnerships need consent or the soft opt-in.

Opt-outs honoured immediately

The right to object to direct marketing is absolute. Anyone who asks not to be contacted again is suppressed straight away across every channel – and callers always present a valid, returnable caller ID.

This is general information, not legal advice. The Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) publishes detailed guidance on direct marketing.

FAQ about appointment setting in the UK

Something we haven't covered? Send us your question – advice is free and comes with no obligation.

How do we get started with B2B Appointment Setting?

You tell us about your offer, target market and goals – either through the form or on a short call. We then propose a campaign set-up and a pricing model that fits your budget, and send you a tailored quote.

The consultation and the quote are free, and you are under no obligation to go ahead.

How is the quality of booked appointments ensured?

Before outreach begins, we agree the qualification criteria with you – for example job title, company size, need and timing. Every appointment is checked against those criteria before it lands in your calendar.

Regular reporting and your feedback after each meeting let us tighten or adjust the criteria as the campaign develops.

What do I need to prepare before a campaign starts?

A clear description of your offer, the types of organisation and job titles you want to meet, what counts as a qualified appointment and access to the calendars meetings should be booked into. Examples of your best existing customers help the appointment setter build an accurate target list.

What is the typical contract length?

It varies with your goals. Short agreements suit pilots and one-off projects, while longer agreements – often three to twelve months – usually come with better rates and give the campaign time to mature.

We will propose terms that fit your objectives rather than lock you into more than you need.

Can I switch pricing model after the campaign has started?

Often, yes. A common route is to start on an hourly rate or a short retainer to prove the market, then move to pay-per-appointment once there is enough data to agree a fair price per meeting. We are happy to agree how and when a switch would work before you sign.

Do you have experience of our industry?

We run campaigns across a wide range of B2B sectors, including technology and SaaS, professional services, manufacturing, logistics and financial services. Every campaign starts with learning your buyers' language and challenges, so conversations sound credible from the first call.

How quickly can a campaign start?

Once the brief, target list and talk track are agreed, outreach can usually begin within a couple of weeks. Expect the first month to include some learning as messaging and targeting are refined.
