Being a tightly resourced and busy payment company focussed heavily on IT and enterprise integrations, we were thrilled to have Harry at Nousu Collective provide sales calls and appointment setting services to reach out to our many organic and warm leads. Harry was very quickly considered a real extension to our team and we enjoy his friendly, polite, disciplined and relaxed approach which has proved very successful in shaping new merchants into valued business relationships.

Because we do the hard parts properly. We know how to get decision-makers on the phone, ask the right questions to qualify or disqualify quickly, and book meetings that actually make sense for your business. We also know how to land in inboxes, protect deliverability, and get your brand in front of your ICP consistently across email, calling, and LinkedIn.
We service businesses across Australia and New Zealand. In Australia, we cover Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Canberra, Hobart, Darwin, and regional areas. In New Zealand, we work with companies in Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, and across both islands. Our Sydney based team operates during AEST/AEDT hours, making us well aligned with NZST for seamless collaboration.
Every engagement starts with a 3-month initial term, then rolls monthly. Outbound needs at least 3 months to optimise properly, and after the initial term you can leave with notice. See the Billing and Contract FAQ for full terms.
We work primarily with B2B SaaS, professional services, and technology companies. Our team has deep experience in these sectors and understands the unique challenges of selling to enterprise buyers.
We use a rigorous qualification process that includes verifying company size, industry fit, and decision-maker status. Every meeting booked goes through our quality checklist before it reaches your calendar.
Yes. Performance guarantee from month two. Before launch we agree a minimum number of qualified meetings per month. From month two, you get a credit for every meeting we fall short of that floor.
Starting at $7,000 a month. That covers a dedicated Australian SDR team, list building, scripts, calling, email and LinkedIn, and weekly reporting. Engagements run on a 3-month initial term, then rolling monthly.
A typical campaign books around 8 qualified meetings a month once it is running, though it depends on your market, deal size and how senior your buyers are. Our published campaigns range from 6 to 20 a month. Month one is setup and calibration, so expect the full rate from month two.
Most campaigns go live in 2 weeks from kickoff, and first qualified meetings usually land from week 3. Week one is your ideal customer profile, list build and talk tracks. Week two is list checks, scripts and the first review, with first calls 2 weeks from sign-off.
No. Every caller is Australian and works in-house in our Sydney team, with no offshore call centres or subcontractors. In our data, Australian buyers identify an offshore caller in a median of about 11 seconds, and offshore teams book 0.3 meetings per 100 dials against 1.3 onshore.
The right person at a company that fits your ideal customer profile, with a stated reason to meet and a confirmed time in your calendar. We hand over a note on the conversation so your closer walks in prepared, and 50% of phone-booked meetings become opportunities.
Yes, when you follow the rules. We call between 9am and 8pm on weekdays in the prospect's local time, keep caller ID on, say who we are and why we're calling, end the call the moment someone asks, and wash every list against the Do Not Call Register at least every 30 days.
Ready for a calendar full of qualified meetings?
30 minutes with our team. We'll map your market, your buyers and what a campaign would book.
Starting at $7,000 a month. Exact fee quoted after a 30-minute call.
