How can you get an appointment setting campaign started?

Here are steps:

1. Any marketing program takes careful planning. What is your end goal? Do you want x number of new clients in so many months or are you preparing for a long-term campaign where you set up the ground work today for sales in 2-12 months?
2. Who is your target? Who do you want to do business with? What is your geographical area-counties, zip codes or maybe your market is nationwide.
3. Contact list. Determine factors for your contact list. Review city, employee count, revenue and SIC.
4. What makes a lead/prospect viable to you? Do they need to have a need within a month, 6 months or maybe a year? What is the criteria that you determined that makes a prospect your ideal customer?
5. Do you want in person-face to face appointments or would you prefer to qualify someone on the phone before making the trip in person? Maybe your business is better presented with web meetings or go to meeting style appointments.
