What the market charges for a B2B meeting

Before you take a pricing call with anyone, ours included, know the going rates. The numbers below come from published pricing pages and industry sources. Use them to pressure-test every vendor you talk to. There are three ways to buy meetings, and they produce three very different bills.

How you buy What you pay What the money buys
Retainer agency $2,500 to $15,000+ per month. Most commonly $3,000 to $12,000. Activity. Seats and touches per day. No booked-meeting guarantee.
In-house SDR Roughly $9,800 to $14,200 per month fully loaded, which pencils out to about $700 to $1,150 per qualified meeting (industry estimates). Salary, commission, benefits, data, tools, and management. Months of ramp billed at full cost.
Per meeting: SMB floor Around $80 per meeting. Lightly qualified SMB appointments at the bottom of the market.
Per meeting: mainstream B2B $150 to $600 per meeting. A booked meeting with a standard qualification bar.
Per meeting: premium qualified $600 to $900 per meeting. Meetings screened against strict criteria before they ever bill.
Per meeting: enterprise $1,000+ per meeting. Long-cycle enterprise targets with heavy account research.

Where we sit: the per-meeting column. You pay one flat rate per booked, double-confirmed meeting, plus a one-time setup. The exact number depends on your industry, your qualification bar, and your meeting volume. A meeting qualified against a strict revenue bar is a different unit of work than a loosely screened intro call, and any rate card that ignores that is lying to somebody. That is why your rate is quoted, not guessed. The full model is on the B2B overview.

Why we quote your rate instead of publishing a rate card

Fair question. Here is the honest answer, in three parts.

The honest number varies

Industry, qualification depth, and volume move the rate in both directions. A single published number would overcharge some readers and lowball others. The market bands above are wide for the same reason.

The quote is the number

One per-meeting rate plus a one-time setup quote. No platform fee, no data fee, no per-seat charge, no minimums layered underneath. What you hear on the call is the whole bill.

It takes 15 minutes

You leave the call with your exact rate and setup quote, whether or not you move forward. We also check fit on the same call: a clear ICP, capacity to take 10+ meetings a month, and a human who shows up to take them.

We will not call this transparent pricing. It is quoted pricing with every mechanic published: the billing trigger, the replacement policy, the receipts, the caps. Read the rest of this page and you will know more about what you are actually paying for than most retainer clients learn in a quarter.

What counts as a billable meeting

The billing trigger is the whole game in pay-per-appointment, and the market proves it. Newson, a UK pay-per-appointment operator, publishes three tiers: £1,000 setup with £100 per booked meeting, £500 with £200, or £350 with £300 per meeting charged only when the prospect actually sat the meeting. The held-only trigger costs three times the booked trigger. Same operator, same meetings. The price difference is purely the definition of delivered.

So before you buy meetings from anyone, get their trigger in writing. Here is ours: we bill on the booked trigger, then take the show risk ourselves through double confirmation and free replacement. You get the cheaper trigger without eating the ghosts.

Condition One

Booked and double-confirmed

A meeting bills when it lands on your calendar and survives the 24-hour, 2-hour, and 15-minute confirmation sequence. Not for leads, not for replies, not for activity.

Condition Two

Matches your signed criteria

One page, written with you at kickoff, signed before launch: firmographics, revenue bar, decision-maker, confirmed interest. A meeting outside it is replaced or credited. Free, no argument.

Condition Three

Charged from our logs

Each billable meeting auto-charges the card on file at your quoted rate, and everything rolls up in a weekly statement. Nothing hides in a month-end invoice.

The Receipt

A paper trail behind every charge

Every billed meeting comes with the SMS transcript where your prospect chose the time, plus the full confirmation log. Audit any charge, any week, without asking permission.

What you never pay for

Most appointment-setting horror stories come from paying for things that never should have billed. This list is short on purpose.

No-shows

The 10-minute rule: if the prospect has not shown within 10 minutes of start time, the meeting does not count as held. We rebook or replace it within 5 business days, free. You never pay for a ghost twice. Free no-show replacement is already being framed as the standard buyers should demand from any vendor. We agree, so we built it into the billing.

Off-criteria meetings

If a meeting does not match the one-page qualification criteria you signed, it is replaced or credited. No dispute process, no ticket queue. The criteria doc is the referee, and you wrote it.

Retainers and minimums

No monthly fee, no seat fee, no minimum commitment, no ramp period billed at full price. A month with zero booked meetings costs zero. Our incentive is to book meetings that hold up, because that is the only way we get paid.

Cancellation

There is no contract term, so there is nothing to cancel and no notice period to run out. Stop whenever you want. You keep your qualification doc and every transcript we ever sent you.

How billing runs, week to week

No invoices to chase, no surprises to dispute. Six moving parts, all of them visible to you. The machine that produces the meetings is documented on the how it works page.

01

Card on file

Stripe, card on file at kickoff. Your payment details are processed by Stripe and never stored on our servers.

02

Auto-charge per meeting

Each booked, double-confirmed, on-criteria meeting charges the card at your quoted rate. No meeting, no charge. Ever.

03

Weekly statement

Every meeting, charge, transcript, and replacement from the week in one statement. Reconcile it in minutes, not month-end.

04

Optional weekly cap

Set a maximum number of billed meetings per week and we stop booking at the cap. Your spend can never run ahead of your calendar or your budget.

05

Prepaid packs, optional

Packs exist only as a discount lever for teams that want one. Never required. Pay-as-you-go is the default and stays available forever.

06

One-time setup

Quoted with your rate. It covers your list build, campaign build, calendar integration, and qualification doc. For contrast, SalesHive charges $0 setup on a $7,000 per month retainer. We flip that: a small one-time setup on zero retainer. You fund the system once, not the effort every month.

Pricing questions, answered straight

Is the per-meeting rate all-in?
Almost. You pay two numbers, ever: your per-meeting rate and a one-time setup quoted alongside it. No platform fees, no data fees, no per-seat charges, no monthly minimums. Both numbers are on the table before the 15-minute call ends.
Do I have to sign a contract?
No retainer, no term, no monthly fee. You pay per booked meeting and you can stop whenever you want. The one page you do sign is your qualification criteria, and that document protects you, not us. It defines what you pay for.
How is my rate set?
Three inputs: your industry, your qualification bar, and your meeting volume. A meeting qualified against strict criteria takes more conversations to produce than a loose one, so it costs more. Book the 15-minute call and you get the exact rate and setup quote on the spot.
Why is there a setup fee at all?
It covers your list build, campaign build, calendar integration, and qualification doc, and it filters out tire-kickers so our capacity goes to clients we can actually deliver for. For context, SalesHive charges $0 setup on a $7,000 per month retainer. We charge a small one-time setup on zero retainer. Once the system is built, you only ever pay for meetings.
What happens if meeting quality slips?
The criteria doc settles it. Any meeting outside your signed qualification criteria is replaced or credited, free, no argument. And every billed meeting carries its SMS transcript and confirmation log, so quality disputes get settled by receipts, not memory.
I can buy $20 appointments. Why would I pay more?
You can. Synergy Direct Solution sells pre-set appointment leads at $20, sliding to $10 at 100+ volume, and its own pricing page discloses that these 'appointments' are callback leads. A callback lead pulled from resold data and a double-confirmed meeting on your calendar with a prospect qualified against your written criteria are different units. Price the unit, not the label.
Can I cap what I spend in a week?
Yes. Set an optional weekly cap and we stop booking when you hit it. Between the cap, the weekly statement, and pay-as-you-go billing, your spend can never run ahead of your calendar.
How fast can we launch?
Campaigns go live within 48 to 72 hours of kickoff: qualification criteria signed, list built, campaign launched. First bookings typically land in week one, and your card is only charged when a meeting actually books.
