The best appointment setting agency for a high-ticket coach in Canada is the one whose cost per booked call stays under what a held call is worth. At an assumed $8,000 CAD program, a 20% close rate on held calls, a 70% show rate and a 25% acquisition share, that ceiling is $280 CAD per booked call. Our ranking: LeadsNow first, then DMT Business Development and FiveRings Marketing.
- The ranking: 1. LeadsNow (AI calling, SMS and DM follow-up that books your own applicants and old leads), 2. DMT Business Development (outbound appointment-setting team, Ottawa), 3. FiveRings Marketing (LinkedIn and cold-calling meeting booking, Langley, B.C.). LeadsNow publishes this page and ranks itself first.
- The decision rule: the High-Ticket Coach Appointment-Setting Held-Call Ceiling. Program price × close rate on held calls × show rate × acquisition share = the most you should pay for one booked call.
- Judged on: speed to lead, show rate, qualification and pricing model (per appointment, revenue share or retainer), because a high-ticket coach sells on one sales call and every unworked applicant is lost revenue.
- The Canadian rule that shapes setting: the National DNCL rules let a telemarketer call someone who made an inquiry in the last six months, and CASL treats an inquiry in the last six months as implied consent for texts and emails. Fresh applicants are the easiest people to call legally.
- Published prices we found: none. DMT lists “Custom Pricing based on your demand and expected ROI”; FiveRings’ pricing page is a contact form.
How we ranked Canadian appointment setting agencies for high-ticket coaches
LeadsNow, a pay-per-result AI lead generation and appointment-setting agency, wrote this ranking of Canadian appointment setting agencies for high-ticket coaches and puts itself first. Read the order as our opinion. We checked every other provider on its own live site on 8 November 2026, attributed every claim to the page it came from, and say where a price is not published. No provider paid to be included, and we picked different firms from our Canadian business coach appointment setting list on purpose.
Methodology. Each provider had to pass a real-firm test first: a live site naming its leaders or team, a Canadian address, and trading history older than this year. Survivors were scored on four criteria set for this page:
- Speed to lead (30%): how quickly a new applicant or prospect is contacted, and by what channel.
- Show rate (25%): whether the provider describes reminders, confirmation and follow-up after a call is booked.
- Qualification (25%): whether the provider describes screening prospects before they reach your calendar.
- Pricing model (20%): whether you pay per appointment, by revenue share or on retainer, and whether a price is published.
Where LeadsNow would lose: cold outbound to Canadian companies that have never heard of you. LeadsNow works the applicants, enquiries and old lists you already hold; a coach selling to corporate buyers with no list should look hard at the other two.
| Rank and provider | Model | Who gets contacted | Volume stated on own site | Canadian evidence | Pricing model |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1. LeadsNow | Done-for-you AI setting, paid on results | Your applicants, enquiries, no-shows and dead lists, by AI calling, SMS and DM | 50,769+ AI-booked sales appointments since 2017 | Australian agency serving coaches remotely | A revenue share, a fee per appointment, or a mix of both |
| 2. DMT Business Development | Dedicated outbound appointment-setting team | Cold B2B prospects by email, LinkedIn and cold calling | Starter package: 2,000+ contacted prospects a month at a 2–5% prospect-to-appointment rate | Headquartered in Ottawa, Ontario | “Custom Pricing”, no figure listed |
| 3. FiveRings Marketing | Outsourced SDRs booking meetings on your calendar | Executives by LinkedIn outreach and cold calling | LinkedIn plan “12+ meetings/ month”; cold calling “8+ meetings/month” | FiveRings Marketing Inc.; Langley, B.C. mailing address in its privacy policy | Not listed on the pages we checked; month-to-month agreements |
How it works
How a Canadian high-ticket coach vets an appointment setter
Set the held-call ceiling
Multiply program price, close rate on held calls and acquisition share. That is the most one held call is worth.
Adjust for show rate
Multiply the held-call ceiling by the setter’s show rate. The result is your ceiling per booked call.
Work the six-month window
Call and text applicants who enquired in the last six months first. The DNCL and CASL inquiry rules both run on that clock.
Count calls per dollar
Divide each monthly quote by your booked-call ceiling. That is the booked-call count the setter must deliver.

FAQ: Canadian high-ticket coaches on appointment setting agencies
What is the best appointment setting agency for high-ticket coaches in Canada?
On our ranking, LeadsNow is first for coaches whose applicants and old leads are not turning into calls, DMT Business Development fits coaches selling programs to Canadian companies, and FiveRings Marketing fits coaches who want a stated monthly meeting count from LinkedIn or cold calling.
How much does an appointment setting agency cost a Canadian coach?
Neither Canadian provider here lists a price: DMT shows custom pricing and FiveRings uses a contact form. LeadsNow charges a revenue share, a fee per appointment, or a mix of both. Compare any quote with your own booked-call ceiling, $280 CAD in our middle worked example.
Can a setter call my coaching applicants without breaking the DNCL rules?
Generally yes, if they applied or enquired within the last six months. The National DNCL exemptions page lists inquiries and applications in the last six months as an existing business relationship, and anyone who asks not to be called must go on your internal list within 14 days.
Should I judge a setter on booked calls or held calls?
Held calls. A booked call that does not show earns nothing, so ask each agency for its show rate and how no-shows are billed, then multiply your held-call ceiling by that show rate.
Why does LeadsNow rank itself first?
LeadsNow publishes this page and ranks its own model first because it charges on results and works leads coaches already own. We disclose that bias at the top and say plainly where the other two fit better.

1. LeadsNow: best for coaches whose applicants are not turning into calls
LeadsNow ranks first for Canadian high-ticket coaches because it books sales calls from leads a coach already paid for, and charges on results rather than a monthly retainer. LeadsNow calls, texts and messages each new lead within permitted calling hours, qualifies them with AI, and books the ones who fit into your calendar.
The coaching evidence is specific. For a seven-figure coaching business selling $12,000 programs, LeadsNow has booked 1,522 sales meetings purely from its dead lists, with around a 74% show rate. A separate coaching and consulting client closes around $180,000 a month in cash collected from leads it had given up on and handed over: people already called ten times, meetings that did not close, no-shows and prospects who ghosted. LeadsNow calls this its “trash to cash” model. Show rates vary by offer and reminder cadence, up to 93% on our best-performing accounts.
Pricing is 5–25% of the revenue we generate for you (revenue share), or an equivalent pay-per-appointment fee, set by lead volume, what is being sold and its price, the type of product and business, and which part (or all) of the sales funnel we run. No-shows aren’t charged, and the cost of contacting the people who never book is ours. Cancel any time with 14 days notice. See how it works on the LeadsNow coaching page and the AI appointment setting overview.
Want this done for you? We book qualified sales appointments on a Pay-Per-Result basis — you only pay for calls that actually land in your calendar.
2. DMT Business Development: best for coaches selling programs to Canadian companies
DMT Business Development ranks second because its Ottawa-based team books meetings with decision-makers, which suits executive and leadership coaches selling to organizations. Its about page describes it as “a B2B lead generation & appointment-setting agency headquartered in Ottawa, Canada”, gives an Ottawa street address, and names its president, Andrew Vasiliev, who says the firm started in 2018 as SalesNash and became DMT Business Development in 2025.
On speed and qualification, DMT’s appointment setting page says it selects leads that match your ideal customer profile and quotes a 2–5% prospect-to-appointment conversion rate. It says it complies with CASL. Its packages page lists a Starter team (SDR, project manager, research analyst, content writer, deliverability specialist) contacting 2,000+ prospects a month, with “Custom Pricing based on your demand and expected ROI”. No currency or figure is shown.
DMT’s case studies are B2B and its model is cold outreach, so it suits a coach whose buyer is an HR or learning lead at a company, not a coach selling an $8,000 CAD program to individuals from Instagram.
3. FiveRings Marketing: best for coaches who want a set meeting count each month
FiveRings Marketing ranks third because it is the only provider here that prints a meeting count in its plan contents, though it sells to B2B companies rather than coaches specifically. Its outbound sales page promises sales meetings “booked straight on to your calendar” through LinkedIn social selling and cold calling, listing “12+ meetings/ month” for LinkedIn outreach and “8+ meetings/month” for cold calling, with 1,000+ dials a month.
The firm passes the real-firm test. Its about page carries letters from co-founders Shaheem Alam (CEO) and Nilofar Nikju and names its research, SDR and cold-calling team; its privacy policy, effective May 10, 2023, names the operator as FiveRings Marketing Inc. and gives a mailing address in Langley, B.C. Its Clutch profile also lists Langley as its location. Its contact page FAQ says it works with “Directors, VPs, C-level and Owners” and that agreements are month to month.
For cost per booked call, you will need to ask: the pricing page is a contact form, and we found no price on the pages we checked on 8 November 2026. Ask what counts as a meeting and how no-shows are handled.
If we can’t make you money, we don’t deserve yours.

The High-Ticket Coach Appointment-Setting Held-Call Ceiling, worked in Canadian dollars
The High-Ticket Coach Appointment-Setting Held-Call Ceiling is the highest price a Canadian coach can pay for one booked call and still keep a healthy margin on the client it becomes. The formula is program price × close rate on calls that are held × show rate × the share of revenue you will spend to win a client.
Every input below is an assumption; replace each with your own.
| Input | Low close rate | Middle | High close rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| Program price (assumed, CAD) | $8,000 | $8,000 | $8,000 |
| Acquisition share (assumed) | 25% | 25% | 25% |
| Most you can pay per new client | $2,000 | $2,000 | $2,000 |
| Close rate on held calls (assumed) | 10% | 20% | 30% |
| Ceiling per held call | $200 | $400 | $600 |
| Show rate (assumed) | 70% | 70% | 70% |
| Ceiling per booked call | $140 | $280 | $420 |
| Booked calls a $5,000 month must deliver | 36 | 18 | 12 |
Judge setters on held calls, not booked ones: at the middle case, lifting show rate from 70% to 85% raises the booked-call ceiling from $280 to $340 CAD ($400 × 0.85). Divide any monthly retainer by your ceiling to get the number of booked calls the agency has to deliver: a $5,000 CAD month needs about 18 at the middle case ($5,000 ÷ $280 = 17.9). For setting the program price itself, see our guide to pricing a high-ticket coaching offer, and if calls are booked but empty, read why high-ticket booked calls do not show.
The six-month inquiry clock: Canadian rules for setting a coach’s calls
Canada gives a high-ticket coach six months to call or text a person who enquired, under both the National DNCL rules and CASL. The National DNCL exemptions page says telemarketers may call a consumer who “has made an inquiry or has submitted an application” within the last six months, or who bought within the last 18 months, and that the DNCL rules “do not apply to telemarketing calls made to businesses”.
The same page says every telemarketer and client must keep an internal do not call list, add a person within 14 days of a request and keep them on it for three years. For texts and emails, CASL’s definition of an existing business relationship (section 10) covers an inquiry or application made within the six-month period before the message, and a purchase within two years. In practice:
- Applicants under six months old: callable and textable on the inquiry exemption; work them first and fast.
- Past buyers: callable for 18 months under the DNCL rules, emailable and textable for two years under CASL.
- Corporate buyers: calls to businesses fall outside the DNCL rules, which is the lane DMT and FiveRings work in; CASL still applies to their emails.
