How much time should you expect from a customer for an appointment?

Minimum30 minutes.

If you are skillful then just a telephone call is sufficient to get an appointment.

the time shouldn't take any longer than it needs to be. You need to respect your customer's time constraints. If you ask for an hour of your customer's time, that's16% of his day. Are you that important? Will you bring him/her enough value to justify that? Never allow your preconceived notions to override your customer's time constraints.

the exact answer may vary on the situation and nature of the meeting, also depends on who is in control of the meeting,

however IMO in a a general sales senario, a meeting shouldn't be less then5 minutes and no more then25 mins, only shows that you are not rushing the cusomer yet you resepct and value their time.

Depends on how much time you need to move the goalposts towards you :)

i think it should be on the purpose of meeting.

 

The question appointment not meeting. Lets waite for day or two.

About meeting with customer depends on agenda. Solving issues some time take time.

 

Minimum25 & Maximum30 minutes

Its depended on our product how long time we need to take for explaination. 

It enirely depends on the purpose of meeting but in any case I strongly feel that if th caller is skilled in conveincing the customer about the issue then only a telephonic call is needed.
