The companies

What each company says it offers

Belkins

Belkins’ website describes monthly retainer packages. It lists a Growth plan (100+ appointments a year), Growth Plus (200+ a year) and a smaller option for lean teams (30+ a year), which it says is “delivered through partnering agencies”. Cold email and LinkedIn outreach are listed on all three. Cold calling, paid advertising and webinar support vary by plan. (belkins.io/pricing, checked 26 Oct 2026)

Might suit you if: you want a set number of appointments a year.

Callbox

Callbox’s website describes multi-channel campaigns run by dedicated sales development reps. Its website describes “Campaign Pods”, each with one dedicated SDR, a campaign manager, contact data and weekly reporting. (callboxinc.com, checked 26 Oct 2026)

Might suit you if: you want phone as well as email and LinkedIn. See also Callbox alternatives.

CIENCE

CIENCE offers SDRs based offshore or in the US and Europe, with a performance bonus tied to each SDR’s held-meeting target (no bonus below 60% of target). It says setup is “live in less than 14 days”. Terms are “month to month, no long contract”. (cience.com/pricing, checked 26 Oct 2026)

Might suit you if: you want a team of SDRs and month-to-month terms.

Leadium

Leadium’s website says “all of our contracts are month-to-month” and that onboarding starts on the 1st or 15th of the month. It guarantees “service and sales activity deliverables” but says “we do not provide performance guarantees for the outcomes” of appointment setting. (leadium.com/pricing, checked 26 Oct 2026)

Might suit you if: you want month-to-month terms and channels beyond email, such as gifting.

Martal

Martal’s website describes outbound tiers with a pilot of three or four months, followed by a monthly subscription. Its higher tiers add a flat monthly fee plus a sales commission. Outreach runs across email, LinkedIn and calls. (martal.ca/pricing, checked 26 Oct 2026)

Might suit you if: you’re open to a pilot of several months, or to a commission-based model.

Every booked meeting is backed by our 100% satisfaction guarantee, and every service comes with a risk-free first month. We work month to month with 30 days’ notice.

Might suit you if: you want phone-led appointment setting with no long-term commitment.

How to choose

How to choose a B2B lead generation company

Ask every company the same questions, and get the answers in writing:

  1. What exactly is included? Lists, channels, reply handling and meeting booking. Ask for the full scope for your first three months.
  2. How long am I committed? Month to month, a pilot period or a fixed term.
  3. Who will you contact, and how? Ask to see the targeting and sample messages before launch.
  4. Do you book meetings or send leads? If they book meetings, ask what counts as a qualified meeting.
  5. What happens if a meeting isn’t a fit? Some providers guarantee activity, some guarantee meeting quality, some guarantee neither.
  6. Who owns the work? Lists, copy and landing pages.

Best appointment setting companies

If you want meetings on your calendar rather than lists of leads, look for providers that handle replies and book meetings for you. Every company above describes booking appointments or meetings on its website. Compare how each defines a qualified meeting. See our appointment setting service.

Best LinkedIn lead generation agencies

Six of the seven list LinkedIn as a channel on the pages we checked (SalesRoads’ homepage describes calls and email). Ask any provider how they use LinkedIn: LinkedIn’s User Agreement prohibits bots and other unauthorized automated methods to send messages or add contacts (linkedin.com/legal/user-agreement, effective 3 Nov 2025). See our LinkedIn outreach service.
