Appointments Today

Appointments Today is a virtual inside sales company that gets real estate agents and business owners onto the phone with their leads fast. Founded in 2015 and based in Cleveland, Ohio, the team answers inbound leads, qualifies them, and books confirmed appointments so you only spend time on buyers and sellers who are ready to talk. The core service is a staffed inside sales agent (ISA) team. These are U. S.-trained callers, ex-pats who previously lived in the United States and speak natural American English. They work from scripts built for your market, follow up on inbound leads, and cold call expireds, FSBOs, and other lead sources. Alongside the human team, the company offers AI calling that answers every inbound lead at any hour, qualifies it against your criteria, and routes hot leads to a person. A third offering, AEO Today, is answer engine optimization that helps a business get cited by ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Google AI Overviews, through an AI-citation audit, citable profiles and content, and structured data. It makes the company a practical AI-ready outsourcing partner for lead handling. The clients are real estate agents and teams, insurance agencies, and marketing agencies. Real estate teams get dedicated ISAs and AI calling for buyer and seller appointments. Insurance agencies get appointment setting and lead follow-up. Marketing agencies can use white-label and overflow ISA capacity, outbound calling for their own clients, and AEO services. The company works with clients across the USA and Canada. The process is laid out in four steps. A strategy call maps your lead flow, team, and goals. Scripts, qualification, CRM flow, and a playbook are then built and trained for your market. Calls go live in your time zone with weekly reporting you can see, and you can add ISA headcount or AI calling as your pipeline grows. The site describes a first call within three minutes of a lead arriving, with a follow-up text and email queued automatically. The company reports twelve years of staffing and sales training experience, over $44 million in closed gross commission income for clients, and a call center that has closed over $1 billion in real estate value in the past decade. Its Google reviews are five stars from named clients. If lead response is where your pipeline leaks, reach out to Appointments Today to talk through your setup or request a quote.
