The best appointment setting agency for an Australian mastermind program is the one that turns applications into held sales calls at the lowest cost per held call. Our ranking: LeadsNow #1, because it is paid on results and no-shows aren’t charged, then DevCommX (managed setting from $6,000 a month) and Book Meetings. On our worked example, show rate alone moves the cost per held call from $400 to $250.
- The ranking: LeadsNow, DevCommX, Book Meetings. LeadsNow publishes this page and ranks itself first; the reasons and the trade-offs are below.
- Three setting models: AI calling, SMS and DM follow-up paid on results (LeadsNow), a managed multi-channel B2B setting program on a monthly fee (DevCommX, Sydney page), and a Melbourne phone and face-to-face appointment setting team (Book Meetings).
- The decision rule: the Held-Call Cost Test. Divide what you pay the setter each month by the sales calls that actually happen, then compare with what one held call is worth to your mastermind.
- What to judge: speed to first contact, show rate, how applicants are qualified, and whether you pay per appointment or a retainer.
- The Australian rule that bites: the telemarketing industry standard, which limits sales calls to 9am–8pm on weekdays and 9am–5pm on Saturdays, with no calls on Sundays or national public holidays unless the person has consented.

Questions Australian mastermind founders ask about appointment setters
What is the best appointment setting agency for mastermind programs in Australia?
LeadsNow ranks first on this page (we publish it) because it works applications with AI calling, SMS and DM follow-up, is paid on results and doesn’t charge for no-shows. DevCommX suits outbound to B2B founders on a monthly fee; Book Meetings suits human phone setting to business owners from Melbourne.
Should a mastermind pay a setter per appointment or a retainer?
Pay per appointment or on revenue when applications already exist and show rate is the risk, because no-shows then cost the setter. A retainer suits outbound programs where volume is predictable. Compare both on cost per held call using the Held-Call Cost Test.
Can a setter call my mastermind applicants on a Sunday in Australia?
Not for telemarketing calls, unless the person has consented to being called at that time. The ACMA’s industry standards page allows 9am to 8pm on weekdays and 9am to 5pm on Saturdays, with no calls on Sundays or national public holidays.
What show rate should a mastermind expect from an appointment setter?
It varies by offer and reminder cadence, so ask each setter for its own reported figure and how it is measured. LeadsNow’s is up to 93% on its best-performing accounts, which is not typical. Our worked example shows why show rate drives cost per held call.
Is an AI setter good enough for a high-ticket mastermind?
For first contact, follow-up and booking, often yes, because speed and persistence matter most at that stage. The enrolment conversation itself should stay with the founder or a trained closer who can judge fit for the room.

How we ranked appointment setting agencies for Australian masterminds
We ranked appointment setting agencies for Australian mastermind programs on five weighted criteria, with 30% on show rate and held calls rather than appointments booked.
Methodology and disclosure. LeadsNow publishes this page and ranks itself #1. We put ourselves first because we think a mastermind founder should pay for sales calls that happen, not for setter hours, and our pricing is built that way. We checked every other agency on its own live site on 20 October 2026 and describe it only with what that site says. No agency paid to be included.
- Show rate and held calls (30%): does the setter run reminders and no-show follow-up, and report held calls?
- Speed to lead (20%): how fast is a new application contacted, including evenings and Saturdays?
- Qualification (20%): are applicants screened on revenue, stage and fit before they reach your calendar?
- Pricing model (20%): per appointment, revenue share or retainer, and what you pay when nobody turns up.
- Telemarketing and Spam Act handling (10%): calling hours, Do Not Call Register washing, consent records.
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.
The ranked list: three appointment setting agencies for mastermind programs in Australia
The ranked list of appointment setting agencies for Australian mastermind programs runs LeadsNow, DevCommX and Book Meetings, and each entry says which founder it suits.
#1 LeadsNow: AI setting paid on results, no-shows not charged
Best for: Australian mastermind founders with a steady flow of applications, webinar registrants or alumni who need contacting within minutes and reminding until the call happens.
LeadsNow books sales calls using AI calling, SMS and DM follow-up, then hands each applicant to you with reminders in place. Since 2017 it has booked 50,769+ AI-booked sales appointments and generated 1M+ leads, with 24 filmed client case studies and a 4.7/5 rating from 60 Google and Facebook reviews. Show rate varies by offer and reminder cadence: up to 93% on our best-performing accounts, which is not a typical figure. Pricing is 5–25% of the revenue we generate for you (revenue share), or an equivalent pay-per-appointment fee, or a mix of both, 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, there is no retainer, and you can cancel any time with 14 days notice. Our AI appointment setting page explains the process, and our methodology page defines a 7x average sales lift and discloses that the median is closer to 4x.
Where we lose: we do not run the enrolment conversation itself. If your close rate on held calls is the problem, fix the sales call first.
#2 DevCommX: managed multi-channel setting for B2B founders
Best for: executive or B2B masterminds that need outbound conversations with founders, CEOs and sales leaders rather than follow-up of inbound applications.
DevCommX’s Sydney appointment setting page describes managed programs that source prospects, run email, LinkedIn and phone sequences per buyer persona, qualify interest against your criteria and deliver confirmed, briefed meetings into your calendar. Its deliverables include calendar management, reminders, no-show follow-up and a weekly report on meetings booked, show rate and qualification. It lists CEO / Founder among the roles it serves, says pricing is scoped in AUD, and publishes a managed engagement “from $6,000/month”.
#3 Book Meetings: a Melbourne calling team for decision makers
Best for: masterminds that target business owners in specific industries and want human callers to book phone or face-to-face meetings.
Book Meetings’ homepage says it specialises in B2B appointment setting in Melbourne, with setters experienced across more than 40 industries who reach key decision makers by phone or face-to-face meetings. Its process asks you to state your brand, industry and how many leads you require; its team then calls and qualifies prospects, sets appointments and sends a brief on each lead. Its education sector page says it has worked with schools, universities and educational companies.
The Held-Call Cost Test: what a setter really costs a mastermind
The Held-Call Cost Test divides monthly setter cost by held sales calls, and at $6,000 a month and 30 bookings it ranges from $400 at a 50% show rate to $250 at 80%.
The inputs are assumptions for illustration, not measured figures: a $6,000 monthly fee (DevCommX’s published starting price, used only as a real anchor for a retainer-style setter), 30 sales calls booked a month, a $15,000 annual seat at a 60% contribution margin ($9,000 per seat), and a 25% close rate on held calls. Replace each with your own numbers.
| Show rate (assumed) | Held calls from 30 bookings | Setter cost per held call ($6,000 ÷ held) | Seats at 25% close | Contribution at $9,000 a seat |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 50% | 15 | $400 | 3.75 | $33,750 |
| 65% | 19.5 | $308 | 4.9 | $43,875 |
| 80% | 24 | $250 | 6.0 | $54,000 |
How to use it:
- Each held call is worth $9,000 × 25% = $2,250 of contribution on these assumptions, so a setter is affordable well below that; the risk is paying for bookings that never happen.
- Retainer setters: the fee is fixed, so every no-show raises your cost per held call. Ask for show rate in writing.
- Per-appointment or revenue-share setters: the no-show risk moves to the setter when no-shows aren’t charged, so compare what you pay per held call, not per booking.
- Fix show rate first: our guide on why high-ticket booked calls don’t show covers reminders and confirmation, and our breakdown of what an appointment setting agency costs in Australia compares the pricing models.

When can an appointment setter call mastermind applicants in Australia?
Australian appointment setters may make telemarketing calls between 9am and 8pm on weekdays and 9am and 5pm on Saturdays, with no calls on Sundays or national public holidays.
- Calling hours: the ACMA’s industry standards page sets those hours for telemarketing calls unless the person has consented to being called at that time, and says the standard applies to calls to all Australian numbers, even those not on the Do Not Call Register.
- Caller ID: the same page requires calling line identification to be enabled on every call.
- Who is liable: the Do Not Call Register guidance says both the telemarketer and the business requiring the call must comply with the Act, so a setter’s breach is your problem too.
- Texts and email: follow-up SMS and email fall under the Spam Act 2003, which needs consent; ACMA’s spam guidance says that applies even when someone else sends for you. This is general information, not legal advice.
If applications arrive at weekends, these hours mean a Saturday-night applicant cannot get a telemarketing call until 9am on Monday, unless that applicant has consented to being called at another time.
What to ask a mastermind appointment setter before you sign
Five questions show whether an appointment setter will be judged on held mastermind sales calls, and each answer should be a number or a written term.
- How many minutes from application to first contact, and what happens on Saturday afternoons and Sundays?
- What show rate do you report, and do I pay for appointments that don’t happen?
- Which qualification questions do you ask before a call is booked, and can I set them?
- Is the fee per appointment, a revenue share, a monthly retainer or a mix, and what is the notice period?
- Do you wash lists against the Do Not Call Register and keep consent records for SMS?
