Setting appointments can feel like a tough game. You reach out, they ignore you. You follow up, they vanish. But what if there’s a way to book meetings without feeling pushy?
Most people don’t say no because they hate you. They say no because they don’t know you, don’t trust you, or don’t see the value. Your job? Fix these three things.
The "No-Pitch" Pitch
Instead of saying: 🚫 "We help businesses grow! Let’s book a call?"
Try this: ✅ "I noticed [specific problem]. Are you open to a quick chat about a possible fix?"
The Magic of Follow-Ups
Most meetings happen after the 5th follow-up. But don’t be annoying. Instead of: 🚫 "Hey, following up!"
Try: ✅ "Saw this [article/stat] and thought of you. Worth a chat?"
The "Takeaway" Close
If they ignore you, flip the script: ✅ "Totally okay if now isn’t the right time. Should I circle back in a few months?"
When you stop chasing, people get curious.
Final Thoughts
Appointment setting isn’t about pushing. It’s about helping the right people at the right time. Get that right, and you’ll book more meetings than ever.
