Should I hire a commission only appointment setter or outsource the calling to a company?

    QUICK ANSWER

    A commission only setter costs nothing up front, which is also why it so often goes nowhere. Experienced callers rarely work for commission only, they take salaried or contracted seats, so the people who accept the deal are usually new, working several roofing companies at once, and gone before they get good. You also have to manage them, supply the list, and check every appointment yourself. If you already know someone you trust who wants the work, try it. If you want steady volume you can staff crews around, an outsourced team is more predictable. Lead Engine runs month to month, with no long term contract.
