Role overview

The Appointment Setter is responsible for making outbound calls (and related follow-up texts/emails as appropriate) to qualified inquiries to schedule consultations and support the overall schedule-filling goals of the learning center. This role owns inquiry-to-schedule conversion through consistent follow-up and accurate scheduling.

Core responsibilities

• Make outbound calls to families from the inquiry pool to schedule consultations/visits.
• Follow up with families who didn’t book initially (calls, texts, and/or emails per company process).
• Manage scheduling logistics for consultations: confirm times, locations (in-person), and any required intake details.
• Reschedule appointments when prospects request changes and ensure updates are reflected immediately in the scheduling system.
• Track status (contact attempts, responses, booked vs. unbooked, reasons for drop-off) using the CRM/scheduling platform.
• Ensure appointment details are complete and accurate (student/parent contact info, grade level, subject/test needs, any notes required for the meeting).
• Coordinate with internal staff when special scheduling needs arise (e.g., tutoring start dates, assessment requirements, tutor availability constraints).
• Maintain high outreach volume and quality using established scripts and objection-handling guidance.
• Provide timely updates to the Education Coordinator/Director on inquiry conversion performance and schedule bottlenecks.

Required skills & qualifications

• Must be familiar and comfortable with High School education, tutoring, college admissions, and understand the concept of a learning center environment.

• Strong phone and communication skills; comfortable speaking with parents/guardians.

• Excellent follow-up discipline and attention to detail.

• Experience with high-volume scheduling, CRM tools, or appointment-based operations (preferred).

• Professional and friendly demeanor; strong reliability and consistency.

• Ability to learn and use the center’s scheduling workflow quickly.

Success metrics

• Consultation/appointment booking rate from qualified inquiries.

• Speed-to-schedule (time from inquiry availability to booked appointment).

• Show rate improvement via confirmation and accurate scheduling details.

• Data hygiene: accurate notes, statuses, and schedule entries.

• Reschedule effectiveness and reduction of scheduling errors.
• Uncapped incentive structure based on scalable success metrics.

Working style

• Scripted yet adaptive communication.

• Fast, organized, and highly responsive to inbound scheduling changes.

• Comfortable with repetitive tasks and performance metrics.
