01
Agree on who belongs on your calendar
On a short intro call, we write down your ideal client: title, niche, geography, company size, and anything else that matters. That sheet is what “qualified” means — not a vague lead.
Appointment setting for marketing agencies
We book qualified sales calls. You only pay when they show up.
AppointTide puts decision-makers on your calendar. You run the sales conversations. There is no monthly retainer — you pay per qualified appointment that the prospect actually attends.
$250 per attended, qualified appointment. A new agency, taking on a small number of founding clients.
How it works
Three steps. You stay on the sales calls.
AppointTide runs the outreach and the booking. You approve the message, define who is worth a call, and take the meetings.
02
We reach out on your behalf
We contact prospects who match the sheet, using copy you approve. Outreach identifies AppointTide honestly. We honor opt-outs and keep a suppression list so your existing clients and do-not-contact names are left alone.
03
Qualified prospects land on your calendar
When someone agrees to talk, we book them into your calendar. You take the sales call and close the work. You are billed only when a qualified prospect attends.
What counts
A qualified appointment is defined in writing before we start.
We do not bill for curiosity clicks, unqualified conversations, or people who never show. The exact criteria are agreed with you. In general, a billable appointment means all of the following:
- The person is an owner, partner, or named decision-maker who can buy your service.
- The company matches the niche, geography, and size criteria on your qualification sheet.
- They are not an existing client, an active opportunity, or on your do-not-contact list.
- They attend a live call of at least 15 minutes on your calendar.
- If they no-show, and you report it within 24 hours of the scheduled start, you are not billed. We will try to rebook them.
Pricing
Pay only for attended, qualified appointments.
No monthly retainer. Either side can end the engagement with 30 days’ written notice. Accrued fees for appointments that already qualified and attended remain due.
Per appointment
$250 attended and qualified
- Billed monthly for appointments that met the written sheet and were attended.
- No-shows reported within 24 hours are not billed.
- No retainer and no minimum monthly spend.
- Any onboarding, if needed later, is discussed on the intro call — not charged as a published package today.
How we start
A 15-minute intro call, then a written qualification sheet
We agree in writing on who counts as a qualified prospect before any outreach begins, so you only pay for calls you actually wanted.
- Same qualification rules and 24-hour no-show policy for every appointment.
- 30 days’ written notice to stop.
FAQ
Straight answers.
Who is AppointTide for?
Marketing agencies that sell a clear, high-ticket service and still take sales calls — especially agencies that work with roofers and other home-improvement contractors. If a new client is not worth several times $250, this model is probably not a fit.
Is this a new agency?
Yes. AppointTide is a new appointment-setting practice based in Charleston, South Carolina. We are honest about that. We are taking on a small number of founding clients while we prove the work, rather than advertising results we have not earned yet.
Do you guarantee a number of appointments?
No. Appointment volume depends on the list, the offer, reply rates, and how you handle the calls. We will not invent a quota or a case-study return to win the intro conversation.
What if a prospect does not show up?
Tell us within 24 hours of the scheduled start. No-shows reported that way are not billed. We will attempt to rebook the prospect on your calendar.
Who takes the sales call?
You do. AppointTide books the meeting. We do not close deals or deliver your service.
Is there a retainer or a setup fee?
There is no monthly retainer. You pay per qualified, attended appointment. We are not publishing an onboarding fee. If a specific campaign needs extra setup later, we will talk through it on the intro call before anything is charged.
How do you contact prospects?
Primarily through carefully written outbound email, using messaging you approve. Emails identify AppointTide honestly, include a physical mailing address, and give a clear way to opt out. We do not pretend to be a customer or a prospect.
How do we stop if it is not working?
Either party can end the engagement with 30 days’ written notice. We stop new outreach cleanly. Fees already earned for qualified, attended appointments remain due.

We will see whether your niche and close process are a fit, and leave you with a clear qualification sheet either way.
