Offshore Appointment Setters Staffing

An offshore appointment setter handles outbound prospecting on behalf of your sales team. Day to day, that means researching target accounts, reaching out via phone, email, and LinkedIn, running short discovery calls to confirm interest and fit, and scheduling qualified meetings directly into your AEs' calendars. They also log all activity and contact notes in your CRM so nothing gets lost between conversations. The setter works your hours, follows your qualification criteria, and operates inside the tools you already use.

Offshore appointment setters placed through Kore BPO typically cost 60–70% less than a comparable US-based SDR when you factor in salary, benefits, payroll tax, and recruiting overhead. The exact number depends on experience level, language requirements, and the market we source from. Kore charges a flat monthly management fee rather than a percentage of salary. There are no hidden markups on benefits or compliance costs. Contact us for a current pricing sheet based on your specific requirements.

Kore BPO places appointment setters primarily from the Philippines and India, two markets with deep pools of English-fluent, B2B-experienced sales talent. For clients who need closer time zone alignment or Spanish-language outreach, we also source from Latin America, including Colombia and Mexico. All candidates are evaluated for spoken and written English quality before we present them to you. The sourcing market is discussed and agreed upon during your discovery call based on your specific coverage needs.

Clients typically have a setter actively prospecting within three to four weeks of signing. The timeline breaks down as follows: one week for intake and brief finalization, one to two weeks for candidate screening and your interview, and a few days for compliance paperwork and IT setup before the start date. Clients who have a clear ICP, a working sequence in their preferred outreach tool, and a short onboarding guide for new team members move fastest. We can walk you through what preparation makes sense during the discovery call.

Yes. English proficiency is one of the first filters in our screening process. We evaluate candidates on both written and spoken English, including pronunciation clarity, active listening, and the ability to handle objections under pressure. We do not present candidates who need accommodation or who would struggle on a live discovery call. If you have specific regional accent preferences or pronunciation requirements for your target market, let us know during intake and we will filter accordingly. Clients typically conduct a trial call with finalists before making a hiring decision.

Offshore appointment setters placed through Kore BPO are experienced with the most common outbound tech stacks. On the outreach side, they typically work in Apollo, Outreach, Salesloft, or Instantly. For prospecting and list building, they use LinkedIn Sales Navigator, ZoomInfo, or Apollo's prospecting module. CRM experience covers Salesforce, HubSpot, and Pipedrive at a minimum. They also use Calendly or your preferred scheduling tool for meeting booking. If your stack includes less common tools, share them during intake and we will confirm proficiency with shortlisted candidates before their interview.
