B2B Appointment Setting Services: Qualified Meetings, Booked For You
Reachly is a specialist appointment setting agency. We find the right prospects, run coordinated outreach across email and LinkedIn, qualify every reply, and book meetings straight onto your calendar. You show up and close.
Illustrative example. Meetings are booked directly on your calendar via your existing tools.
How Our Appointment Setting Service Works
Most B2B appointment setting services hand you a list of names and call it lead generation. We build the entire system that turns a cold contact into a booked meeting and run it for you end to end.
Precision targeting around real buying signals
We don't reach out to everyone who fits a loose description of your ICP. We identify the specific accounts showing real buying signals right now: recent funding, new leadership hires, headcount growth, active ad spend. Your outreach list is built around those signals so messages land when prospects are most likely to respond.
Coordinated campaigns across email and LinkedIn
We run cold email and LinkedIn as two channels working together rather than in isolation. A prospect who sees your name on LinkedIn before your email arrives is significantly more likely to open, read, and reply.
Reply handling and lead qualification
When replies come in, we handle them. Our team qualifies intent, answers initial questions, and moves interested prospects toward a booked meeting. Every lead gets passed to your sales team with full context so your team walks into every call prepared.
Meetings booked directly on your calendar
Confirmed meetings land on your calendar with the prospect's background, the conversation history, and everything your sales team needs to run a strong opening call. You show up. You close.
Done-For-You Lead Generation & Meeting Booking
Done-for-you lead generation means exactly what it says. You don't configure tools, write sequences, manage inboxes, or chase prospects who went quiet after one reply. We do all of it.
Every Reachly B2B appointment setting engagement covers the full outbound stack. Throughout the engagement, you have live visibility into every send, reply, and meeting via your reporting dashboard, plus a weekly performance update so you always know exactly where your pipeline stands.
TAM Mapping from 10+ Data Sources
We map your Total Addressable Market across databases, directories, and signal sources so no high-value account gets missed.
Contact Sourcing and Verification
Every contact is sourced, verified, and enriched before entering a sequence. Your sender reputation stays protected throughout.
Real-Time Intent Enrichment
Each account gets enriched with live intent data so your highest-value targets get reached first, when they're most likely to respond.
Cold Email and LinkedIn Sequences
Signal-led copy written around the specific reasons each prospect is on your list. Connection requests, opening messages, and follow-ups all handled.
Full Reply and Inbox Management
We qualify every reply, handle objections, and move warm prospects toward a confirmed booking. Nothing slips through the cracks.
Live Dashboard and Weekly Reporting
Full visibility into every send, reply, and meeting booked. Weekly updates so you always know exactly where your pipeline stands.
B2B Appointment Setting Process
From onboarding to consistent pipeline, here is exactly what happens and when.
Onboarding and Setup
We run a deep-dive session to understand your ICP, your offer, and what a good meeting looks like for your sales team. We map your TAM, build your target list, set up secondary email domains, and configure your LinkedIn profiles for outreach.
LinkedIn Launch
LinkedIn campaigns go live first. Connection requests and opening messages start reaching your target accounts, while cold email infrastructure finishes warming up in the background.
Cold Email Launch
Cold email sequences go live once sending domains are fully warmed and deliverability is locked in. Both channels now run as a coordinated system targeting the same accounts.
Ongoing Optimization
We review performance data weekly including reply rates, meeting conversion, and account-level signal performance, then sharpen messaging, targeting, and timing based on what's working. Campaigns compound over time.
What Results to Expect from Reachly's B2B Appointment Setting Services
Realistic expectations matter more than best-case projections. Here's what our B2B appointment setting services typically deliver.
Qualified meetings per month
Completed calls with decision-makers from your exact ICP, not calendar invites that don't show up. Volume depends on outreach scope, ICP specificity, and market.
Weeks to first meetings
LinkedIn campaigns generate early replies fast. Cold email adds volume from week 4 onward.
Improving performance over time
The first month establishes the baseline. By month 3, optimized messaging and sharpened targeting produce better reply rates and meeting quality.
ICP clarity matters
The sharper your ICP definition, the better our targeting. We help refine this during onboarding but the clearer your ideal buyer, the faster results compound.
Offer strength affects conversion
Strong offers with clear value propositions convert better. We'll tell you honestly on the discovery call if your positioning needs work before outbound can perform.
Campaigns improve with data
Each week of performance data makes the next week sharper. Reply rates, meeting conversion, and pipeline quality all improve as we optimize based on what's working.
Honest projections on the discovery call
We give realistic projections based on your market and ICP, and we'll tell you upfront if your setup isn't a strong fit for outbound before you commit to anything.

Client results
What booked meetings looked like for The Great Room
The Great Room runs premium co-working space in Singapore and Australia. Their own reps spent their time closing warm inbound, and internal outbound was producing about two face-to-face meetings a quarter.
The Great Room
Premium co-working · Singapore and Australia · 18 to 20 months
- ~$250K
- Contract value closed, about nine months into the engagement
- 2/qtr → 2/mo
- Face-to-face meetings, before and during the engagement
- ~30%
- Drop-off after qualification, against ~50% from paid
Building the motion in-house carried its own cost: one outbound hire would have run close to $10,000 a month once salary, tools, CRM seats, and LinkedIn accounts were counted. Reachly ran the whole motion instead, targeting on headcount growth, workplace and ops hiring, new funding, market entry, team-size thresholds, and proximity to a location. Reachly acted as the SDR layer and qualified every conversation before it reached the sales team, so reps only met buyers who were ready to tour.

What is B2B appointment setting?
It is the part of outbound sales that turns interest into a confirmed meeting. Reachly researches accounts matching your ICP, reaches the decision maker across email, LinkedIn, and phone, qualifies the reply against criteria you sign off, and books the meeting onto a seller's calendar. Ten to forty of them a month.
-
Stage 1
Research
The market is mapped, then narrowed to accounts showing a live buying signal. Contacts sourced and verified per client.
-
Stage 2
Outreach
Sequences across cold email, LinkedIn, and phone, from dedicated domains and mailboxes. Never your main domain.
-
Stage 3
Qualification
Every reply read and scored against written criteria. Interested but unqualified replies get nurtured, not booked.
-
Stage 4
Handover
The meeting lands on the calendar carrying the signal, the thread, and the qualification notes.
-
Stage 5
The meeting
Discovery, qualification in the room, and whatever your sales process does next.
Stage four is the line between appointment setting and lead generation. Lead generation hands you a warm reply. Appointment setting carries the conversation through qualification and books the time.
Appointment setting, lead generation, or an outsourced SDR?
Three things get quoted against each other constantly, and they buy different outcomes. Pick by which part of your funnel is actually empty.
Lead generation
- You buy
- Targeting, data, and outreach that creates interest
- You receive
- Replies and warm contacts to work
- Right when
- Your sellers have time to chase and qualify
Appointment setting
This page- You buy
- The same engine plus qualification and booking
- You receive
- Confirmed meetings with qualified decision makers
- Right when
- Your sellers should be closing, not prospecting
Outsourced SDR
- You buy
- Headcount, usually priced per seat
- You receive
- Whatever that person produces
- Right when
- You want to direct the work yourself day to day
Appointment setting runs on top of a full outbound system, so targeting, copy, sending infrastructure, and reply handling all sit with one team. To take the replies and work them yourself, the outbound lead generation service is the same engine without the booking layer, and that page covers retainer pricing, the in-house SDR comparison, and whether a team outside the US can sell into it.
What does a booked meeting cost?
The retainer is flat, starting at $3,500 a month, and it does not move with volume. So the cost of a meeting is a function of how many the month produces, and it falls as the engine warms up.
Per qualified meeting, across the published range of 10 to 40 meetings a month at a $3,500 retainer. Data, domains, mailboxes, copywriting, sending, reply handling, and reporting are inside the fee.
Paying per appointment pays a provider to book meetings, and what you want paid for is qualified meetings. A flat fee keeps that incentive intact whether the month produces ten or forty. Settle four things before launch: what makes a booking billable, who decides whether it qualified, what happens to a rejected meeting, and whether the fee moves with volume. On a flat retainer it does not. The retainer models themselves are broken down on the outbound lead generation page.
What counts as a qualified meeting?
Qualification is the whole product, so it gets written down before the first send rather than argued about afterwards. Four tests, agreed during onboarding, and every reply is scored against all four before anything reaches a calendar.
-
1Fit
The company matches the ICP on the attributes you named: size, market, industry, tech in use, geography. A curious prospect outside the profile is a nurture, not a booking.
-
2Authority
The person can buy, or can bring the person who can. Where a champion replies instead, the goal of the meeting changes and you are told that up front.
-
3Need
There is a problem this actually solves, named by the prospect in their own words in the thread.
-
4Timing
Something makes now the moment: a hire, a funding round, a tool change, a deadline. Interest with no timing gets sequenced for later rather than booked into a dead call.
Turned away on purpose: students and job seekers, competitors doing research, agencies pitching back, anyone asking for pricing with no company attached, and positive replies from outside the agreed ICP. All of those inflate a meeting count and cost a seller an hour. Ask any provider to show you their written criteria before you sign.
What happens when a prospect no-shows?
Show rate is the quietest way an appointment setting program fails. Meetings get booked, the count looks healthy, and half the calendar evaporates. It is part of the deliverable here rather than your problem to absorb.
The invite goes out inside the thread
Booking happens in the conversation the prospect is already in, not through a cold calendar link sent separately.
Times are set to the buyer's calendar
Slots are offered in the prospect's working hours, which removes the most common reason a meeting quietly dies.
Reminders run before the call
Confirmation at booking, then a reminder close to the meeting, both from the address the prospect has been talking to.
A no-show gets re-engaged
A missed call is usually a diary problem. The thread reopens and the meeting gets rebooked where the interest is still real.
Reschedules stay with us
Your seller does not chase the new time. A rebooked meeting counts once, not twice.
Four numbers are reported against all of this every month: positive reply rate, qualified appointment rate, meeting show rate, and pipeline generated. Never open rates.
Is your sales process ready for booked meetings?
Appointment setting only pays back when a booked meeting has somewhere to go. Where the process behind the call is thin, the retainer produces a full calendar and very little pipeline.
Ready
- A named person runs the calls. Meetings landing on a shared calendar with nobody accountable is the most common way this fails.
- Contract value clears roughly $8,000. Below about $5,000 the math on reaching a decision maker rarely closes.
- Someone has sold this before. The objections are known and the discovery call has a shape.
- Cycles run inside about 60 days. Longer and the feedback loop is too slow to sharpen targeting against.
- There is capacity for the volume. Ten to forty meetings a month needs the hours to run them.
Fix this first
- No agreed definition of a good meeting. Without written criteria every booking becomes a debate.
- Nobody follows up after the call. A qualified meeting with no next step is a wasted hour on both sides.
- Product market fit is still open. Cold outreach tests a message, and it cannot test whether the thing is worth buying.
- Procurement runs the decision. Enterprise and public-company cycles do not respond to this motion.
Reachly says no to these on the discovery call rather than taking the retainer, and the ROI calculator will usually show you the answer before you book one.
