Can a Filipino appointment setter handle US accounts?
Yes. Most appointment setters work night-shift (9 PM–6 AM Manila) to cover US business hours. They use neutral English and have typically come out of the BPO industry with 2–5 years of outbound experience.
What's a realistic meeting-booking volume?
8–15 qualified appointments per week is a solid benchmark for a full-time appointment setter working 180+ dials per day with a clean list. Better lists and warmer intros push that to 20+.
How is this different from a cold caller?
Cold callers focus on top-of-funnel outreach (opening conversations, generating interest). Appointment setters take qualified leads further — handling objections, booking meetings, and logging detailed context in your CRM for the closer.
How much does a Filipino appointment setter cost?
Base rates run $5–$9/hr. Most employers also pay a per-appointment commission ($5–$20 per booked meeting) to keep setters motivated. Total compensation typically lands around $1,000–$1,800/month for full-time, all-in.
