Independent Appointment Setter

Big Canoe Digital is looking for experienced appointment setters to identify prospective clients and create qualified sales opportunities with outdoor brands, manufacturers, retailers, dealers, ecommerce businesses, and other companies throughout the outdoor industry.

This is an independent, 100% performance-based opportunity. There is no salary, hourly pay, draw, payment per appointment, or guaranteed compensation.

About the Role

Your responsibility is to find companies that fit our target market, identify the right decision-makers, start the conversation, qualify the opportunity, and schedule legitimate sales appointments.

Prospecting may include phone, email, LinkedIn, social media, industry directories, trade contacts, and other appropriate outbound channels.

Once a qualified appointment is scheduled, our Business Development & Client Partner takes over the sales process, conducts the sales conversation, develops the opportunity, and closes the account.

Your job is to consistently put the right prospective clients in front of our sales team.

What You’ll Do

• Identify companies that fit our target markets

• Research owners, executives, marketing leaders, ecommerce leaders, and other relevant decision-makers

• Conduct outbound prospecting through phone, email, LinkedIn, and other appropriate channels

• Start professional conversations with prospective clients

• Identify potential marketing and growth needs

• Qualify prospects before scheduling meetings

• Schedule qualified sales appointments

• Follow up with prospects when appropriate

• Maintain accurate prospect and appointment information

• Represent Big Canoe Digital professionally in all outreach

We are not interested in filling the calendar with anyone willing to take a meeting.

The goal is to create legitimate sales opportunities with businesses that could realistically benefit from working with Big Canoe Digital.

Who We’re Looking For

We are especially interested in people with experience in:

• B2B appointment setting

• Outbound lead generation

• Cold calling

• Sales development

• Prospecting for agencies or professional services

• Digital marketing or advertising sales

• Ecommerce

• Outdoor-industry prospecting or sales

Experience in hunting, fishing, archery, marine, powersports, RV, sporting goods, or outdoor consumer products is highly valuable but not required if you have a strong record of reaching business decision-makers.

You should be comfortable researching prospects, starting cold conversations, handling objections, following up consistently, and working independently.

Compensation

This is a 100% commission-based independent contractor opportunity.

There is:

• No salary

• No hourly compensation

• No draw

• No payment simply for scheduling an appointment

• No guaranteed income

• No cap on commissions

You earn 5% of qualifying agency service revenue actually collected by Big Canoe Digital during the first 12 months from a client that originates from your qualified appointment.

Commission begins only when an appointment you originated becomes a paying Big Canoe Digital client and the agency collects payment.

What Commission Is Based On

Commission is calculated only on fees paid directly to Big Canoe Digital for agency services.

Qualifying agency service revenue can include:

• Monthly marketing retainers

• SEO services

• Paid media management fees

• Ecommerce and website services

• Email marketing

• Conversion optimization

• Consulting and strategy

• Photography and video

• Audits

• Other services provided and billed directly by Big Canoe Digital

What Is Not Commissionable

Client advertising and media spend are not commissionable revenue.

For example, money a client spends directly with Google Ads, Meta Ads, Microsoft Ads, Amazon Ads, TikTok Ads, or other media platforms is not included when calculating commission.

Commission also does not apply to:

• Software expenses

• Platform fees

• Taxes

• Printing

• Outside vendor expenses

• Pass-through costs

• Reimbursements

• Other third-party expenses

Compensation Example

You schedule a qualified appointment that becomes a client.

The client pays:

Big Canoe Digital agency service fee: $5,000 per month

Client advertising budget: $50,000 per month

Your commission is based only on the $5,000 monthly agency service fee.

If Big Canoe Digital collects $5,000 per month for 12 months:

Collected agency service revenue: $60,000

Your commission at 5%: $3,000

The client’s $50,000 monthly advertising budget is not included in the commission calculation.

When Commission Is Earned

Commission is earned only after Big Canoe Digital receives the corresponding client payment.

If a client does not pay an invoice, no commission is earned on that unpaid amount.

If the client cancels before completing 12 months, commission ends when qualifying collected revenue ends.

Appointment Setter commission ends after the client’s first 12 months, even if the client continues working with Big Canoe Digital.

What Counts as a Qualified Appointment

A qualified appointment should involve:

• A legitimate business within our target market

• An owner, executive, marketing leader, ecommerce leader, or other relevant decision-maker

• A company with a potential need for the services we provide

• A prospect who understands the reason for the conversation

• A prospect who has intentionally agreed to speak with Big Canoe Digital

Quality matters more than appointment volume.

Ten strong conversations are more valuable than fifty poorly qualified meetings.
