Definition
Appointment setting is a specialized sales function focused only on booking discovery calls with qualified buyers. The closer runs the actual sales cycle.
Why it matters
Splitting the setter and closer roles lets each person specialize. Setters book more meetings per hour, closers spend more time in real deals, and pipeline becomes predictable.
How it works
- Setter calls, emails, and messages a target list
- Qualifies against budget, authority, need, and timing
- Books the prospect directly on the account executive calendar
- Sends a confirmation email and a same day reminder
- Hands off notes to the closer 15 minutes before the call
