Hire an Appointment Setter in Latin America (Bilingual) 2026
If you need a bilingual appointment setter who works US hours, Latin America is the right place to look. Post a role for free on ProLatamWork and get proposals from vetted candidates within 48 hours.
What does a LATAM appointment setter do?
An appointment setter contacts prospects by phone, email, or LinkedIn and books qualified calls for your sales team. They don't close — they convert strangers into booked meetings ready for your closer. Key metrics: connect rate, show rate, and average qualified calls booked per week.
Why hire in Latin America
Latin American professionals share time zones with the US (EST to PST overlap), which means your setter contacts prospects during actual business hours — no overnight shifts, no lag. Many are native or advanced English speakers, which matters when your prospects are in the US or Canada.
Cost is a real factor. A bilingual appointment setter from Colombia or Mexico typically charges significantly less than a US-based SDR in full-time employment, with comparable performance on the right outreach channels.
What to look for when hiring
Not every salesperson makes a good appointment setter. Look for candidates with verifiable cold outreach experience, a track record of booked meetings (not just dials), and clear English communication. Ask for a recorded sample call or a short voice note before moving forward.
Avoid candidates who can't explain their outreach metrics. A good setter knows their connect rate, show rate, and average calls per day.

Frequently asked questions
Can a LATAM appointment setter work my US business hours?
Yes. Most of Latin America overlaps fully or partially with US time zones. Colombia, Mexico, Argentina, and Chile all work during standard US business hours without the gaps you'd face with offshore teams in Asia.
Should I pay per hour or per booked meeting?
Both structures work. Per-hour is cleaner for early trials. Per-booked-meeting aligns incentives once you trust the quality of appointments — just define "qualified" clearly upfront to avoid disputes.
Is it safe to pay a freelance appointment setter internationally?
On ProLatamWork, payments are protected by PayPal Escrow. Funds are held before the project starts and released only when you approve the work. You're never sending money to a stranger without protection.
