Hi! I'm running a venture-backed startup targeting US/UK/AUS K-12 schools. This is about 150k leads. We're planning on hiring a cold calling agency for appointment setting and are wondering about best practices for doing this. Some questions include

- What are the pros and cons with paying per hour or per meeting?
- With our low ACV ($1,000), what would work the best for us?
- What should we think about in general when it comes to hiring cold calling agencies?
- Is there a big difference in "meeting quality" between different agencies? I.e, if one agency is charging $100 and one $200, will the second one have a meeting that's twice as good? If you get me.

Happy for any advice. Please share stories from experience. Thanks!
