Using Customization for Appointment Setting Scripts

Appointment Setters can follow a predetermined script for the purpose of setting appointments for business transactions, getting new clients or otherwise generating interest in the services or products on offer. They organize and process the shipment of sales materials like promotional material samples, free stuff or brochures to interested parties. Most appointment setters have a written record of the calls they've taken, who the called was and what the next step is expected to be. They may send invoices, vouchers, receipts or other documents as proof of the meeting or transaction. In some cases, the person who attends the meeting has to sign or initial the document or other legal documents to authenticate the meeting.

Some appointment setters are sophisticated software that operates using voice-recognition technology. The system allows the user to record the name and other identifying data of the caller, the duration of the call and where it was made. Then, it dials designated telephone numbers and presses the numbers on the caller's phone record until it gets a match. If there is no match, the system dials another number or begins dialing the ones that are on the caller's list. Eventually, the system learns from the records and matches the calls to appropriate prospects, contacts or leads.

One of the main purposes of appointment setters is to minimize the number of objections that could potentially occur during a real estate sale or other business development activity. Some prospects have objections, some will decline to work with the company, and some won't be convinced to take action or buy from them. To address the needs of each type of buyer or prospect, these appointment setters should have a wide variety of techniques in place. The key is to have enough techniques for all possible objections so that any prospect who is contacted can be effectively informed of the process. At the same time, these methods should also be flexible enough to accommodate the changing market conditions that can impact on the success of any sales effort.

In terms of appointment setters' flexibility, it's a common practice for them to have a set of rules or policies in place regarding the number of appointments they'll consider for a given week. These rules might be as simple as the maximum number of appointments they'll accept or the maximum number of lead/prospects they'll consider for a given session. In many cases, these number of number settings are determined by specific revenue streams. For example, if a company has a small to medium-sized television and sign-in counter space, it may have a maximum of ten appointments per week, while a large, higher-end chain could have as many as a hundred appointments per week.

This flexibility within appointment setters is helpful to businesses that are looking to increase their sales process. Real estate sales reps and others who work with agents are increasingly becoming savvy at cold calling to increase their client base and increase their revenues. However, in the last few years, many real estate agents have gravitated toward online lead capture systems, such as Skype, which can be accessed by hundreds of people at the same time. This means that if an agent has several clients who are willing to make appointments, he or she can simply enter the names of the leads that are interested in a particular real estate property, and then set up a call with each one.

Using appointment setters to set appointments is helpful because it gives agents an advantage that increases their productivity and profitability. However, some companies have been clever enough to take advantage of the inherent flexibility of these setters. This ability to leverage a service like this comes from the ability to adjust the setter parameters to effectively capture objections or ambivalence.

For example, rather than capturing objection or ambivalence based on whether a prospect is a single or married person, business owners can use appointment setters to capture objection based on whether they are taking their job seriously enough by calling every two weeks or more. If an agent were to only target calls that lasted a maximum of two minutes, the business owner would be forced to spend a large amount of time re-entering the sales process, while also paying the price for hiring new agents who are only interested in taking calls that result in a long-term sale. This cost is much less than paying agents to call every two weeks. This flexibility allows agents who want to take on a higher level of activity to do so without incurring a large penalty for doing so. However, this type of job description flexibility also has a drawback-it leaves job descriptions and workload requirements up to the discretion of the agent who set the appointments.

If an agent has the ability to customize the way in which they set appointments, he or she can take advantage of the flexibility inherent in appointment setting scripts. For example, if a person is interested in taking calls that last longer than two minutes, the agent can set the appointment to occur at a specific time and date. If it is desirable for a sales presentation to take place in the morning, after the workday has begun, or any other time, then the agent can tailor the appointment setting script so that it is appropriate for each particular situation. By using an appointment setting script that matches the type of product or service that is being sold, agents can ensure that they are meeting the needs of their customers and setting appointments accordingly. This allows them to make the most of their time, rather than spending it performing maintenance or other types of work.
