You like your sales team well enough, but as CEO you’d rather they not be hanging around the office so much. You need them doing what they do best – selling – and the best place for them to do that is on appointments, either face-to-face, phone or web-based. As you grow a backlog of qualified relationships through b2b lead generation it will become physically impossible for your sales team to stay on top of every opportunity. That’s where we come in.

Why Smart CEOs Choose Smart Systems
Unlike other appointment setting firms that focus only on quantity of appointments, Smart Systems Technology considers the quality of an appointment equally important. After all, what good is an appointment if the prospect doesn’t have a need for your products or services? Also, it takes a highly-trained appointment setter to intelligently converse with C-level executives. You can’t get that with a $5/hr service.
Without intelligent appointment setting your sales team will continue to wear many hats, being responsible for finding, qualifying, scheduling and selling. Appointment volume will remain low and, as is often the case, lead to high turnover rates. If you try to use a bargain lead generation service you’ll spend time and money chasing unqualified leads and no-show appointments and will ultimately end up unsatisfied and soured on outbound marketing.
If you aren’t a b2b company with average first-time sales contracts of at least 5 figures, this service probably won’t be able to help you. We specialize in sales involving complex and expensive products and services. You may find what you are looking for with our New Media offerings.
Layers of Certainty
We take a number of extra steps to ensure appointment quality and to protect against no-shows.
Step 1
Confirmation Email
After confirming an appointment on the phone, our system generates a confirmation email that is sent on behalf of the client, reminding the propsect of the appointment they’ve just scheduled.
Step 2
Calendar Synchronization
Prior to a project launch we set up an online or shared calendar. When an appointment is set our staff knows to block the time off on your calendar, helping protect against double-booking.
Step 3
Initiate an Invitation
Sometimes prospects prefer an official Outlook invitation that they can review and accept. We remind our clients to generate them and send to prospects in advance of meetings.
Step 4
Email Reminders
As the final step to ensure better attendance, our system sends out reminder notification emails to our clients: seven days before physical appointments and an hour before phone appointments.
