How to Distinguish Your Business from Competitors: Finding Your USP
Sometimes the sea of competition can seem overwhelming, but finding your key selling point can inform your whole strategy, and position you ready for success.
For over 25 years we’ve delivered B2B lead generation services (part of our sales prospecting services) to our clients using our tried-and-tested B2B appointment setting services. How? Rather than just focusing on delivering numbers of appointments and leads, we measure success on ROI. Our number one priority is to help you win new business.
This means our involvement doesn’t stop once an appointment is set up. If you encounter road-blocks after having an initial meeting, help is at hand to talk through strategy or aid you in continuing to nurture the prospect and move the process forward through to closing the sale.
The unique methodology in our appointment setting services has been designed to secure time with busy senior decision makers. Engaging your prospects in an open conversation, we help secure clear outcomes. You not only receive appointments qualified to your criteria, we also actively disqualify opportunities which will not be a good fit for you so your time is spent on the best-fit opportunities.
To ensure your valuable appointment time is well used, our appointment setting services focus on understanding the specific qualifying criteria which makes a sales opportunity promising for you.
Along with the usual qualifiers, budget, authority, motivation, timescale, need, together we set any other criteria needed to rule in an appointment as a good opportunity worth your time. With this in hand, we’re ready to create relevant communications and to pre-qualify prospects to your bespoke criteria.
Communication is key, especially in the B2B realm. Our skilled B2B appointment setters are adept at listening to and exploring your target prospect’s priorities, building rapport, and conveying your unique selling points, ensuring a positive and impactful interaction at every touchpoint.
No two businesses are alike, and neither are their sales strategies. Our appointment setting services tailor our B2B approach to align with your specific industry, business goals, and target audience, maximising the effectiveness of every outreach.
We understand the value of your time and resources. Our services are designed to streamline your sales process, proactively generating sales appointments whilst allowing your team to focus on what they do best – closing deals. By outsourcing your appointment setting and pre-sales needs to us, you free up valuable internal resources for other activities.
With a track record of successful B2B appointment setting campaigns, we have consistently delivered results for businesses across diverse industries. Our client case studies speak to the effectiveness of our appointment setting services in driving revenue growth.
Every client is unique, and we treat them as such. Our dedicated account managers work closely with you to understand your goals, challenges, and preferences, ensuring a personalised and responsive service. We also continuously adapt our approaches based on programme successes, market trends, industry dynamics, and feedback, ensuring that your B2B appointment setting campaigns stay ahead of the curve.
With a little understanding of your current business model, we can offer flexible terms to suit both the project and your current set-up, with performance-linked and gain-share options available as well as retainer and flat-fee options.

Yes. And we know this is a key dependency. Garbage in, garbage out. But we’re not a data house. So whilst we’ll gladly use any data you have to share with us, we also like to work from your customer profile or target market information to scope out your data requirement, then shop for it on your behalf among our trusted stable of suppliers. (And before you ask, this typically involves a budget of £300-500, which is included in some of our programmes).
It’s slow moving to start. Whilst you’ll see plenty of evidence of our activity, you should expect it to take 6-8 weeks before you get any tangible results.
You can also trust that by the third month in, we’ll be achieving momentum, and should have reached any agreed monthly targets, if they’re achievable.
The Fast Track team have over 100 years of combined expertise in selling and marketing business propositions of all sorts.

The two together mean great sales results for the lowest possible cost of marketing. We expect clients to achieve returns of 20-50 times their investment with us – that’s a cost of marketing of 2-5%.
It’s our job to entice them to the table – yours to sell. There’s more time for matters technical later in the process, when these things are also more appropriately handled.
Yes. We offer pilot programmes, typically over six months, to help you see what’s achievable, ensure you like how we work, and evaluate the business case for further investment.
