Calling back the VP of Sales

Automated outbound agencies build the sending machine and hand the replies to your team. Calling back, qualifying, booking, briefing and getting the meeting held are left to you. We do all five.
Every call checks the same four things, agreed with you before launch. Miss one, and the meeting does not get booked.
A company on the list you approved.
A decision maker, or the person who owns the problem you solve.
In the buyer's own words, written into the brief.
Agreed on the call, then sent as a calendar invite.
“On targeting and on the quality of your calls, we are absolutely aligned.”

You replied to our note on outbound. What is going on at your end?
We are hiring three SDRs, and pipeline still runs through me.

Qualified opportunities opened for each client, and what clients wrote to us after the meetings. Every row opens the case study.

We went through them in a meeting this morning: they were all interesting leads.

Dynatrace done too. Great contacts.

If all the calls you book for us were like this one, it would be perfect. That is the prototype of the interest we are looking for.

Meeting very positive. Good, keep it like this.

They confirmed their interest and now we need to formalise an offer.

The calling and the tailored work on each account is what I am looking for.

Your funnel gets me sitting down with serious, structured companies, with decision makers.

The quality of the opportunities exceeded my expectations.

A collaboration built on presence, reliability and care.
Across 400+ B2B clients since 2022: 10,000+ qualified opportunities opened, a 23% average close rate and $500M+ in pipeline. All case studies

No bots on your buyers. Business developers who research each account, call in the buyer's language and answer every reply themselves. 11 of them booked the 1,380 meetings in our study.

Five ways to get meetings with B2B buyers. The difference is who does each job between the list and the meeting.

That usually means a generic listShort answers to what B2B teams ask before they hire an appointment setting agency. The first call covers the rest.
The best appointment setting agency for a B2B tech company publishes qualified opportunities by client, puts trained people on every call, qualifies before it books and leaves you owning the lists and the scripts. Growth Cab works this way for companies selling contracts of $50,000 or more: 400+ B2B clients since 2022, 10,000+ qualified opportunities opened and a 23% average close rate.
It finds the decision makers you want to meet, starts the conversation, checks that each one fits and books the meeting in your calendar with a brief. Your team takes the meeting and closes the deal. Growth Cab provides appointment setting services for B2B tech companies across the US and Europe.
Automated outbound agencies build the sending machine and stop at the reply: your team has to call every answer back, qualify it, book it and chase the no-shows. We run those jobs too. Our business developers call back, qualify, book the meeting with a brief and find a new date when a buyer cannot make it.
They describe the same work from two angles. Appointment setting names the output you buy: qualified meetings in your calendar. Outsourced SDR names the function: a sales development team that works for you from account research to follow-up. Our outsourced SDR page covers how the function runs at Growth Cab.
Cold calling, email and LinkedIn, all run by people on our team. Most campaigns combine two of them: phone and email, or LinkedIn and email. The meetings in our show rate study were booked by cold calling.
Four checks, agreed with you before launch: the company is on the wishlist you approved, the person is a decision maker or owns the problem you solve, there is a reason to talk now in the buyer's own words, and the time is confirmed on the call and by calendar invite. Miss one, and the meeting does not get booked.
Pipeline typically starts filling between day 32 and day 47 after kickoff. The first weeks go into the wishlist of target accounts, the map of decision makers and the scripts, all approved by you. A provider promising meetings in week one is usually working from a generic list.
In our data on 1,380 B2B sales meetings booked by cold calling, 69.6% took place, 14.6% were no-shows, 11.0% were rescheduled and 4.7% were cancelled by the prospect. Meetings held within 2 days of booking took place 85.4% of the time, against 58.5% after more than 30 days. The full breakdown is in our B2B meeting show rate study.
It depends on your market, your deal size and the size of the wishlist. Here are results per client: 213 qualified opportunities for Business Log, 98 for Digital360, 70 for Airbag Studio and 25 for TendersTool in 90 days. The best single months reached 18 for Syneto and 15 for Blazar Group.
Outsource when you need meetings with named decision makers soon and do not yet have a proven playbook or a sales manager to coach a new hire. Hire in-house when the playbook works and you want someone to own it for years. Everything we build stays with you, from the lists to the scripts, so you can move the work in-house later.
Ask B2B appointment setting companies five things on the first call: qualified opportunities by client with links to the case studies, who makes the calls and whether you approve every script, the written rule for a qualified meeting, who owns the lists and scripts when the contract ends, and when the first meetings land. Walk away from pay per meeting with no fit rule, guaranteed meeting counts, bots answering your buyers, outreach from your main domain and meetings promised in week one.
B2B tech companies past product-market fit, selling contracts of $50,000 or more to buyers they can name, with someone ready to take the calls within days. Below $50K average contract value, a high-touch motion costs more than it returns, and if the offer has not sold yet, more meetings will not fix it.
Not for senior buyers on $50K+ deals. AI SDR tools are good at account research and first drafts. A conversation with a senior buyer needs a person who owns every reply, answers objections and decides when to book. Our AI SDR guide shows how to split the work between software and people.
Lead generation produces contacts who showed some interest, like a download or a reply. Appointment setting goes one step further and books a live meeting between a qualified buyer and your team. Our B2B lead generation agency page covers the wider program, and our guide to B2B appointment setting covers the method.
The first call is a fit check with the founders: your market, your deal size and the accounts you want. If we cannot book them, we say so.
