Setters call every lead, on video
A SeatedX setter speaks to every prospect before they reach you and records the call on video. That confirms they qualify and sets them up to show. You get the recording for every appointment.
For annuity & retirement-income agents and advisors
Qualified annuity appointments, booked for you. Only pay when they're seated.
Our setters call every lead and record the call on video to confirm they qualify. Our own software presets the meeting on your calendar and keeps them reminded until they show.

What is SeatedX?
SeatedX is a pay-per-seated annuity appointment service for licensed annuity producers and retirement-income advisors. We book qualified retirement savers onto your calendar. Each one has $250K+ in investable or rollover assets, is aged 55–75, and is retired or within about 5 years of retiring. You pay a flat $1,000 only when the prospect shows up and qualifies. A SeatedX setter calls every lead and records the call on video, and you get the recording. Booking, reminders and tracking run on SeatedX's own software, so your only job is to show up.

Done for you
We do the work. You show up.
Our own software runs the calendar
SeatedX built and runs its own internal software for booking, reminders and tracking. It handles confirmations and follow-ups, and tracks every appointment from booking to show.
Your only job is to show up
You don't dial, chase or update a CRM. You open the meeting and have the sales conversation.
Annuity leads vs appointments
You're paying for annuity leads. You wanted conversations.
Most lead vendors get paid the moment a prospect fills in a form. You handle everything after that.
Hours spent dialling
Wrong numbers, voicemails and "I don't remember filling that in." Your best selling hours go on chasing people who never pick up.
Prospects who don't qualify
Too little in savings, pension-only, or just browsing. You find out 20 minutes into the call, after you've already paid for the lead.
No-shows you still pay for
You block the time, prepare, and wait on an empty video call. The vendor still sends the invoice.
How it works
Booked annuity appointments in three steps, and only the last one is yours
-
1
We find them
Video ads and retirement-income education attract savers who ask to speak with a professional. They then answer a short qualification survey.
-
2
We call, record and book
A setter calls every lead and records the call on video to confirm assets, age, timeline and intent. Our software books them into your calendar and sends reminders until the meeting.

You show up
That's your whole job. You don't dial, chase or update a CRM. You pay $1,000 only when the appointment is seated.

- Aged 55–75.
- Retired, or within about 5 years of retiring.

From agents
What agents say
“The conversations have been noticeably better than what I’m used to buying. People know why they’re on the call and there’s actually something to work with.”
“I’ve had multiple appointments turn into real follow-up opportunities already. The biggest difference is I’m not spending the first half of the meeting figuring out whether they even qualify.”
“The quality has been consistent enough that I’ve opened up more room on my calendar. I’d rather take fewer good appointments like these than chase a bigger volume of weak ones.”
FAQ
Annuity appointment FAQs
What exactly is a "seated" appointment?
A seated appointment is one where the prospect shows up and meets the qualification criteria: $250K+ in investable or rollover assets, aged 55–75, and retired or within about 5 years of retiring. You only pay for those.
How much do annuity appointments cost with SeatedX?
$1,000 per seated appointment, the same flat price for CORE ($250K–$499K), PLUS ($500K–$999K) and PREMIER ($1M+). No-shows and prospects who don't qualify cost $0. There are no lead fees and no charge for appointments that aren't seated.
What's the difference between annuity leads and annuity appointments?
An annuity lead is contact information. You still have to call the prospect, qualify them and book the meeting. An annuity appointment has already been booked for you. With SeatedX, a setter has also called the prospect, qualified them on a recorded video call and reminded them to attend. You only pay if they show up and qualify.
Seated appointments vs raw annuity leads — what do I pay?
Raw annuity leads bill you for contact details whether or not anyone answers. SeatedX does not sell raw leads. You pay a flat $1,000 only when the appointment is seated (the prospect shows up and meets the criteria). No-shows and prospects who don't qualify cost $0.
Are pay-per-show annuity appointments worth it?
It depends on your own close rate, case size and commission, and on how much your prospecting time is worth. Pay-per-show moves the cost of no-shows from you to the vendor. They tend to suit licensed producers who are actively writing annuities and can take appointments every week. You can test it with your own figures using the calculator on our how-it-works page.
How are SeatedX appointments qualified?
Prospects first answer a short qualification survey. A SeatedX setter then calls every lead and confirms on a video-recorded call that they have $250K+ in investable or rollover assets, are aged 55–75, are retired or within about 5 years of retiring, and genuinely intend to act. We don't book anyone who fails the criteria onto your calendar as a billable appointment.
Are appointments exclusive to me?
Yes. Each appointment is assigned to one agent only. We don't share it, resell it or send the same booking to another agent.
What happens if the prospect doesn't show up?
You aren't charged. A no-show isn't a seated appointment, so you pay nothing for it. The prospect goes back to our team, who work to re-book them or arrange a replacement appointment as set out in your agreement.
What if the prospect shows up but doesn't qualify?
If a prospect turns out not to meet the criteria, the appointment isn't billable. That covers prospects under $250K in movable assets, pension-only or research-only prospects, and anyone outside your agreed filters. Our quality team reviews it and routes it for a replacement as set out in your agreement.
What do I actually have to do?
Show up. Our setters call and qualify every lead, recording each call on video, and our own software handles booking, reminders and tracking. You don't dial, chase or update a CRM.
Can I watch the setter's call before the meeting?
Yes. Every appointment comes with the video recording of the setter's call with the prospect, so you can see exactly what they said and walk in prepared.
Where do the prospects come from?
From our own video ads and retirement-income education. Prospects ask to speak with a professional, then a SeatedX setter calls each one, records the call on video and confirms they qualify before booking.
Who is SeatedX for?
Licensed annuity and retirement-income agents and advisors who want more conversations with qualified retirement savers and less time prospecting. We'll confirm fit, capacity and availability on your call.
Do you guarantee sales?
No. We qualify and seat the appointment. The conversation and the outcome are yours. Results vary from agent to agent.
