About The Firm

Who We Are and How the Model Works.

01What is Accelerain?
Accelerain is a sales acceleration firm that generates meetings with VP+ decision makers for B2B companies and PE/VC funds — on a 100% success-based model. Our blueprint has reached 95% of the Fortune 1000, we’ve generated 6,000+ meetings across 50+ countries, and we’re a 5x Philadelphia100 winner for growth.
You pay for meetings that happen — not retainers, not activity, not promises. Most appointment setting firms charge monthly retainers regardless of results; our model puts the risk on us. If we don’t deliver qualified meetings with the right decision makers, you don’t pay.
Most firms optimize outreach — more emails, more dials, more sequences. We engineer access. The Accelerain framework combines proprietary networks and warm connection paths with contextualized cold outreach, so meetings land with real decision makers who have authority, budget, and urgency — not whoever answered the phone. And unlike SDR outsourcing, there’s no ramp time and no retainer risk.
A consultative team with experience from CEB (now Gartner), Morgan Stanley, BMO, Mercer Advisors, and McKinsey, with degrees from Ivy League universities and top MBA programs. Your outreach is designed and managed by people who have sold to — and worked inside — the kinds of institutions you’re targeting.
Before we send anything cold, we map warm paths to your targets through extended networks — peers, management, and operators — and use them to turn cold outreach into warm connections. Precision targeting replaces spray-and-pray, which is why our meetings run at materially higher quality than volume outreach.
B2B companies selling high-value products or services to senior buyers, and PE/VC funds accelerating portfolio company pipelines through our Investor Acceleration program. If your deal size justifies executive attention and your growth depends on reaching VPs and above, our model fits.
If you sell low-ticket products where volume matters more than seniority, need a high-volume call center, or want raw lead lists rather than held meetings, a volume provider will serve you better. Our model is built for companies where one VP-level meeting is worth more than a hundred unqualified leads.
Results & Quality

What the Blueprint Delivers.

What results does Accelerain deliver?
Clients report 7x more VP-level meetings, 5x higher meeting quality, and a 50%+ increase in next steps generated from first meetings. Across engagements, clients often report 20–80% revenue increases and 15–30% faster sales cycles. Our blueprint has reached 95% of the Fortune 1000 and produced 6,000+ meetings in 50+ countries.
A held conversation with a decision maker or critical deal influencer who matches your ideal customer profile — the right title, the right company, and genuine relevance to your offer. Seniority is the point: our focus is VP-level and above, where authority and budget actually live.
There’s zero ramp time in the traditional sense — no hiring, onboarding, or months of SDR training. After a targeting and messaging setup phase, outreach begins and meetings follow as campaigns mature. Because our model is success-based, we’re as motivated as you are to compress that timeline.
We’ve generated meetings across 50+ countries and a wide span of B2B industries — technology and SaaS, financial services, healthcare, industrials, and professional services among them. Because targeting is network-mapped and custom per client, coverage follows your ideal customer profile rather than a fixed vertical list.
Pricing & Engagement

Cost, Comparisons, and the Full Growth Engine.

How much does appointment setting cost?
Industry-wide, appointment setting runs from monthly retainers of $3,000–$15,000+ to per-meeting pricing of several hundred to several thousand dollars depending on target seniority. Accelerain prices on a 100% success basis — scoped to your targets and deal economics on a strategy call — so cost scales with delivered meetings, not with time on retainer.
Usually, and with less risk. A fully loaded SDR costs $90,000–$130,000+ per year in salary, benefits, tools, data, and management — before months of ramp and the industry’s high SDR turnover. Success-based meeting generation converts that fixed cost into a variable one that only accrues when meetings happen.
No — we fill their calendars. Your closers stay focused on running meetings and closing deals while we handle targeting, outreach, and scheduling. We also provide feedback on your calls to help convert first meetings into pipeline, and our training arm can develop your closers if you want the full engine.
Beyond VP+ meeting generation: elite sales training, the SalesIQ assessment that benchmarks your reps against elite standards, LinkedIn training to generate demand and open doors, outbound system design with next-gen sales technology, and sales recruiting from our network. Together they form an end-to-end growth engine — meetings, training, assessment, and talent.
