In this short video, the speaker explains how sales teams should choose a North Star metric for appointment booking. He argues that the metric should focus on cost per qualified call rather than simply cost per call, and ultimately evolve to cost per show‑up, because a higher show‑up rate is far more valuable than merely having a calendar entry, especially when no‑shows are common. The speaker emphasizes the need to optimize for the metric that truly reflects revenue‑generating appointments.

So generally the, the, the North Star metric for book appointments, it's generally cost per qualified call. And you can see that like not necessarily cost per call, right? But cost per qualified call, which is a different, a different thing. And then eventually it could be cost per show up. So I agree with you, a show up rate is a lot more valuable than just somebody on the calendar, especially if you were having a lot of no-shows. So you want to start optimizing for that, not necessarily Got it. Okay. That makes sense, man.
