    Show Rate

    The percentage of booked sales meetings that the prospect actually attends.

    Definition

    Show rate is meetings held divided by meetings booked. A healthy outbound program runs at 60 to 80 percent.

    Want booked sales meetings on your calendar?

    Month to month. Scoped on a 20 minute call.

    Why it matters

    Booking meetings that no one attends is worse than booking fewer real ones. Show rate is the truest measure of meeting quality.

    How it works

    • Confirm the meeting within 30 minutes of booking
    • Send a same day reminder and a 30 minute reminder
    • Text the mobile if the prospect gave one
    • Track show rate weekly by SDR and by list source
