The best appointment setting agency for an Australian luxury travel operator is the one that calls a fresh enquiry within minutes, books a held consultation, and charges in a way you can check. LeadsNow ranks #1 because it books calls with AI calling, SMS and DM follow-up and is paid on results, with no-shows not charged. At an assumed AUD 30,000 itinerary and 15% margin, one booked consultation is worth about AUD 945.
Disclosure: LeadsNow publishes this page and ranks itself first. Read the ranking as our opinion. We checked every other agency on its own live site on 20 October 2026, and every claim about an agency is attributed to that site. No agency paid to be included.
- #1 LeadsNow: AI calling, SMS and DM follow-up that books consultations; paid on results, no retainer.
- #2 LeadCallers by Evolved Contact: Melbourne callers who ring the enquiries you already have, up to 6 calls per contact (its site).
- #3 Telemarketing Professionals: an Australian call centre that also sells an AI appointment setter (its site).
- The rule that bites: telemarketing calls in Australia are allowed 9:00am to 8:00pm weekdays and 9:00am to 5:00pm Saturday, never Sunday or national public holidays, unless the consumer consented to that time.
How the three luxury travel appointment setters compare
The three luxury travel appointment setters below differ most on pricing model and on who makes the call: an AI-led service paid on results, a per-record human calling service, and a call centre with an AI setter.
| Agency | Type | Channels | Pricing model (as published) | Best fit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| LeadsNow | Done-for-you AI setting service | AI calling, SMS, DM follow-up | 5–25% revenue share, a fee per appointment, or a mix of both; no-shows aren’t charged; 14 days notice | Operators with steady enquiry volume and a consultation-led sale |
| LeadCallers by Evolved Contact | Human calling service (Melbourne) | Phone: live transfer, callback, appointment setting | Fixed cost per record called, plus a success fee on its performance plan; month to month, 14 days notice | Operators who already generate enquiries and want AU callers to work them |
| Telemarketing Professionals | Call centre with an AI setter | Phone, web forms, inbound and outbound AI calls | We did not find a published price on the pages we read | Operators who want one vendor for human telemarketing and an AI setter |

Frequently asked questions
What are the best appointment setting agencies for luxury travel operators in Australia?
LeadsNow ranks first for AI-led setting paid on results, followed by LeadCallers by Evolved Contact for Melbourne callers working enquiries you already have, and Telemarketing Professionals for a call centre with an AI setter.
Can an appointment setter call a travel enquiry on a Sunday in Australia?
Telemarketing calls are not allowed on Sundays or national public holidays unless the consumer has consented to being called at that time, according to the Do Not Call Register industry standard.
Should a luxury travel operator pay a setter per appointment or a retainer?
Per-appointment or revenue-share pricing ties the fee to booked consultations, while a retainer or per-record fee pays for effort. Compare both by dividing total monthly cost by booked consultations that showed.
Is an AI setter good enough for high-value travel clients?
An AI setter is strongest on speed and persistence: the first call, reminders and rebooking. The travel planner should still run the consultation itself, where trust and destination knowledge close the sale.
Pay-Per-Result appointments

We book qualified sales appointments for you and you pay on results, not retainers. Our booking page asks a few quick questions so you find out in two minutes whether that model suits your business.
- 50,769+ appointments booked without cold calling.
- Pay-Per-Result pricing — you pay for booked, qualified calls.
- Pick your own time on our live calendar, no phone tag.
#1 LeadsNow: AI setting paid on results
LeadsNow is a pay-per-result AI appointment setting agency that turns luxury travel enquiries into booked consultations using AI calling, SMS and DM follow-up. You pay 5–25% of the revenue it generates for you (a revenue share), an equivalent fee per appointment, or a mix of both. The rate depends on lead volume, what is being sold and its price, the type of product and business, and which part (or all) of the sales funnel LeadsNow runs. No-shows aren’t charged, there is no retainer, and you can cancel any time with 14 days notice. LeadsNow has booked 50,769+ AI-booked sales appointments since 2017 and generated 1M+ leads. Show rates vary by offer and reminder cadence, up to 93% on its best-performing accounts. More on the model: how AI appointment setting works.
The honest trade-off: an AI-led first touch suits operators with enough enquiries to keep it busy. A boutique operator taking a handful of enquiries a month may do better answering each one personally.
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 LeadCallers by Evolved Contact: Melbourne callers for enquiries you already have
LeadCallers is a Melbourne calling service from Evolved Contact that phones leads you send it, up to 6 times per contact, and returns a live transfer, callback or booked appointment. Its site says Evolved Contact has worked since 2016, uses professional AU-based callers, offers live transfers, lead qualifying, appointment setting and lead reinvigorating, and runs month to month with 14 days notice to cancel. Its performance plan is a fixed cost per record called plus a success fee. Its site also says it does not run cold calling campaigns, so it fits a travel operator whose ads, agents or trade shows already produce enquiries (LeadCallers).
#3 Telemarketing Professionals: a call centre with an AI appointment setter
Telemarketing Professionals is an Australian telemarketing and call centre firm whose AI appointment setter engages leads, qualifies interest and books them into your calendar. Its site says prospects hear back in under 60 seconds (its claim), that the automation handles web forms, inbound and outbound calls, and that it works to ACMA and Do Not Call rules. Its site also lists appointment setting pages for Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Canberra and Darwin, and says the AI hands complex calls to local agents (Telemarketing Professionals AI appointment setter). It fits an operator who wants human and AI calling under one contract.

What is one booked consultation worth to a luxury travel operator?
One booked luxury travel consultation is worth about AUD 945 under the assumptions below, which is the ceiling a per-appointment fee has to sit under. Replace each input with your own numbers.
| Step | Assumption | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Average itinerary value | AUD 30,000 (assumption) | AUD 30,000 |
| Gross margin kept by the operator | 15% (assumption) | AUD 4,500 per sale |
| Held consultations that become bookings | 30% (assumption) | AUD 1,350 per held consultation |
| Booked consultations that show | 70% (assumption) | AUD 945 per booked consultation |
The Booked-Consult Ceiling rule (our own rule of thumb, not an industry benchmark): if a setter’s fee per booked consultation is more than about a third of that ceiling (here roughly AUD 315), the margin left for your planners, commissions and supplier risk gets thin. On a per-record model like LeadCallers’, divide the monthly cost by booked consultations to compare on the same unit. The appointment setting cost guide for Australia walks through the market pricing models.
How we chose and scored these appointment setters
Methodology: we scored appointment setting providers on four things, each checked on the provider’s own site on 20 October 2026: speed to lead (how fast a new enquiry is contacted), show-rate controls (reminders, confirmation), qualification (budget, dates, party size before the consult), and a pricing model you can check per appointment. We did not use third-party ratings, review counts or ad spend. LeadsNow wrote this page and ranks itself first because it is paid on results and books calls with AI calling, SMS and DM follow-up.
The scoring method above favours setters that can show their unit of result, because a luxury travel sale takes weeks and the booked consultation is the only early point both sides can count.
When can an appointment setter call luxury travel enquiries in Australia?
Australian telemarketing calls are allowed 9:00am to 8:00pm on weekdays and 9:00am to 5:00pm on Saturdays, with no calls on Sundays or national public holidays, unless the consumer has consented to being called at that time (Do Not Call Register industry standard). That matters for travel, because many enquiries arrive on a Sunday after a weekend of browsing. A Sunday web enquiry asking for a call may count as consent to that call. SMS and email follow-up fall under the Spam Act 2003, and the ACMA says you need consent and a working unsubscribe for commercial messages (ACMA: avoid sending spam). This is general information, not legal advice.
What to ask a luxury travel appointment setter before you sign
Five questions sort luxury travel appointment setters quickly, and each answer should be a number or a document rather than a promise.
- How many minutes from enquiry to first call, and what happens to an enquiry that lands at 9pm Saturday?
- What counts as a booked consultation, and what do you charge when the guest does not show?
- Which qualifying questions do you ask: travel window, party size, budget band, destination?
- Who holds the consent records for SMS and email under the Spam Act?
- Can I hear recorded calls before launch?
