How outbound agencies usually price

Most appointment setting and outbound agencies use one of three models. Each one changes what the agency is paid to optimise for.

ModelHow you payWhat it rewards
Monthly retainerA fixed fee per monthA consistent process: research, messaging, testing and reporting
Pay per meetingA fee for each meeting bookedMeeting volume, which can pull quality down if "meeting" is loosely defined
HybridA lower base fee plus a per-meeting or performance feeA mix of both, depending on how the performance part is defined

WhiteLine uses a retainer. The reason is below.

Why there is no meeting guarantee

A meeting guarantee pushes an agency to book anyone who says yes. WhiteLine would rather book fewer, better meetings against a clear definition.

Qualified meeting: an ICP company, a relevant buyer, confirmed interest and an agreed meeting time. Booked and attended meetings are reported separately.

Who it is priced for

  • B2B companies with 11-200 employees
  • A typical annual contract value of $10,000 or more
  • A monthly outbound budget of $2,000 or more
  • Selling into the US and Canada, or the UK and Europe

It is not a fit for consumer products, deals under $10,000 a year, or teams without someone who can run the demo and close.

Pricing questions

How much does WhiteLine cost?

A monthly retainer, typically $3,000 to $4,000 depending on scope, billed upfront. The exact figure is agreed during the fit check.

Is there a long-term contract?

No. The minimum is one month. After that it runs month-to-month unless a longer term is agreed.

Do you charge per meeting?

No. WhiteLine uses a flat monthly retainer, not pay-per-meeting pricing, so the incentive is to book qualified meetings rather than as many meetings as possible.

Is there a guarantee on meetings?

No. Targets are set after initial validation as operating goals, never guarantees. Results depend on the offer, market and ICP fit.

What is included in the retainer?

ICP and messaging, data research and QA, outreach on email, LinkedIn and phone, reply handling, qualification, meeting booking and weekly reporting.
