Pricing

  • Pricing model: Performance-based, custom-quoted outbound prospecting. BAO appears to sell at least two pay-for-results offers: (1) Appointment Setting, where clients pay for secured meetings/appointments, and (2) SmartLeads, where clients pay for warm introductions/leads rather than for BAO's time.
  • Starting price: $5k+ project minimum
  • Typical range: $5k+ minimum project budget
  • Billing: Pay-for-results / performance-based custom quote. BAO states "you pay for your results, not our time" for Appointment Setting and "you pay for introductions, not our time" for SmartLeads.
  • Guarantee: BAO repeatedly frames its offer as "guaranteed results" and says clients pay for results, not time.

What's included

  • Appointment setting with executive/decision-maker meetings
  • Warm introductions / SmartLeads hand-off to SDRs
  • Target account and persona strategy definition
  • Campaign messaging training/onboarding
  • Live phone prospecting and outreach
  • Post-meeting quality measurement via BAO ROI Tracker
  • Prospect/contact intelligence and talking points
  • Public-sector / FED-SLED access support

I did not find a published dollar-per-appointment, monthly retainer, setup fee, onboarding fee, hourly rate, or contract term on BAO's own site after checking the homepage, service pages, and contact page. What is clearly published is the pricing model: BAO sells on a performance basis, not time-based billing, with Appointment Setting billed on results and SmartLeads billed on introductions. The only concrete spend figure I found was a third-party directory listing on HeroAgencies showing a $5k+ minimum project budget; treat that as a directory-published estimate/band, not a price published by BAO itself.

Reviews

BAO (By Appointment Only, Inc., baoinc.com) appears to have very limited discoverable presence on the six requested third-party review platforms. In my web search, I did not find matching profiles for this specific B2B agency on Clutch, G2, Trustpilot, Google, or Capterra. I did find a BBB listing for a different 'By Appointment Only Inc.' in Greenwood Village, Colorado, categorized as a tax consultant, which does not match BAO's website/domain or business type, so I did not count it as BAO's listing.
