AssistBPO gives you a named appointment setter who researches and works lists you approve, sends a short email with your line sheet or media kit, follows up by phone within consent rules, qualifies on fit such as store count, category and location, and books the meeting onto the founder's or sales lead's calendar with a confirmation and reminder. The setter never negotiates terms or promises pricing; the script positions the meeting. Every contact and outcome is logged in HubSpot, Pipedrive or your sheet by list and source, so you can see which channels produce buyers. Existing wholesale accounts are contacted for reorder calls and seasonal previews as customers, not prospects. Weekly reports show contacts, meetings booked and show rate. Plain definition ## What is an appointment setting service? An appointment setting service is outsourced outbound work where trained setters contact prospects by phone, email and message, qualify them against agreed criteria and book a meeting for your sales team. Good services work from consented or lawfully sourced lists, scrub against do-not-call registers, follow a script you approve and hand over a calendar booking with notes, so the rep walks into a conversation that has already started. ## What tasks does appointment setting cover for e-commerce brands? - Research and clean lists of boutiques, retailers and distributors you approve - Send introduction emails with your line sheet or media kit - Follow up by phone with lawful consent and do-not-call scrubbing - Qualify on store count, category, location and season - Book buyer and distributor meetings onto the sales calendar with confirmations - Schedule creator, affiliate and corporate gifting calls - Book reorder and seasonal preview calls with existing wholesale accounts - Log every contact and outcome by list and source ## The KPI that matters here Qualified buyer meetings booked per 100 contacts, with show rate tracked beside it. A brand's wholesale channel grows one kept meeting at a time. ## What rules does appointment setting follow for e-commerce? 1. **PCI DSS and payment data.** Assistants never see or take full card numbers. Refunds, partial refunds and replacements are processed inside Shopify, Amazon, WooCommerce or your payment provider's dashboard, and customers who offer card details by phone or chat are redirected to checkout. That keeps your PCI DSS scope where it belongs, with your payment processor. 2. **Shipping delays and consumer rights.** The FTC Mail, Internet or Telephone Order Merchandise Rule requires shipment within the stated time or 30 days, with a delay notice and the option to cancel for a refund. UK customers have 14-day cancellation rights under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, and Australian customers have consumer guarantees under the Australian Consumer Law enforced by the ACCC. Assistants send the notices and honor the rights. 3. **Amazon and marketplace policies.** Buyer-Seller Messaging rules require a response within 24 hours and forbid marketing or review requests that offer anything in return. Order Defect Rate, late shipment and cancellation metrics decide account health. Assistants answer inside the window, handle A-to-z claims with evidence and follow Etsy and eBay messaging rules the same way. 4. **Marketing consent: CAN-SPAM, TCPA, CASL, PECR.** Email campaigns carry identification and an unsubscribe link under CAN-SPAM; SMS through Attentive or Postscript needs prior express written consent under the TCPA; Canadian subscribers need CASL express consent and UK subscribers PECR consent. Assistants process opt-outs the same day and never add contacts without a consent record. Reviews and UGC follow FTC endorsement rules. ## E-commerce software we work in - [Shopify](https://assistbpo.com/software/shopify/) - [Amazon Seller Central](https://assistbpo.com/software/amazon-seller-central/) - [Gorgias](https://assistbpo.com/software/gorgias/) - [Zendesk](https://assistbpo.com/software/zendesk/) - [Klaviyo](https://assistbpo.com/software/klaviyo/) - [WooCommerce](https://assistbpo.com/software/woocommerce/) - [Etsy](https://assistbpo.com/software/etsy/) Also in use - ShipStation [See all 80 tools we work in](https://assistbpo.com/software/) ## More for e-commerce brands Other services for e-commerce - [CRM management](https://assistbpo.com/industries/ecommerce/crm-management/) - [Social media assistant](https://assistbpo.com/industries/ecommerce/social-media-virtual-assistant/) - [After-hours answering](https://assistbpo.com/industries/ecommerce/after-hours-answering/) - [Client intake](https://assistbpo.com/industries/ecommerce/client-intake/) - [Virtual assistant](https://assistbpo.com/industries/ecommerce/virtual-assistant/) - [Virtual receptionist](https://assistbpo.com/industries/ecommerce/virtual-receptionist/) - [The e-commerce pod](https://assistbpo.com/industries/ecommerce/) Appointment setting in other industries - [SaaS & startups](https://assistbpo.com/industries/saas-startups/appointment-setting/) - [IT & MSPs](https://assistbpo.com/industries/it-msp/appointment-setting/) - [Marketing agencies](https://assistbpo.com/industries/marketing-agencies/appointment-setting/) - [Education & tutoring](https://assistbpo.com/industries/education/appointment-setting/) - [The full appointment setting page](https://assistbpo.com/services/appointment-setting/) ## Frequently asked questions ### Is outreach to retailers subject to the same calling rules as consumers? Business-to-business calls have fewer restrictions than consumer calls, but we treat them the same way: lawful consent where required, scrubbing against the National Do Not Call Registry and your suppression list, calls between business hours in the recipient's time zone, identification on every email under CAN-SPAM and, for Canadian or UK stores, CASL and PECR consent rules. Contacts who ask not to be called are flagged the same day. ### What can the setter say about wholesale terms? Only what you approve in the script: typical minimums, whether you offer net terms, the categories you sell and where to find the line sheet. The setter positions the meeting and books it; the founder or sales lead handles pricing, exclusivity and terms on the call. Questions the setter cannot answer are logged for the meeting, and the team lead checks recordings monthly for anything beyond the script. ### Can you work creator and affiliate outreach the same way? Yes, with your criteria. The setter checks creators against follower range, content fit and past brand work, sends your media kit or program terms, follows up and books calls or logs sign-ups in your affiliate platform. Gifting requests are tracked so the same creator is not sent product twice. Disclosure requirements under FTC endorsement rules are included in the program terms the setter sends.
