What person in outbound sales doesn’t know the irritation and frustration associated with the job? Not only does it take a ridiculous amount of time to get through each phone list due to hangups, wrong numbers, disconnected lines, and angry yelling, but you have to contend with a rarity of sales in a shaky economy.
The problem is rarely the seller, and more often then not the quality of the phone lists given by their employer. Most are general marketing lists bought and distributed to dozens, and sometimes hundreds, of telemarketers. That means that the same people, who usually aren’t interested in your offer, are getting the same calls daily. Usually, they won’t even be willing to listen to your spiel by the time you get to them.
What you need are hardcopy phone lists that are sold to you and only you. You can buy everything from sweepstakes leads to insurance leads online, all made from filtered and recent marketing data. Each person has already expressed interest in hearing more about your service or product, and in many cases are expecting your call.
You can also get lists for email or home mail jobs, such as in credit repair travel leads, which provide addresses and email addresses in addition to the phone numbers and names. Since they are handwritten they are unique, recent, and only given to you. This increases your chances of making a sale by a large percentage. This will increase your commissions, which makes it a must-have for any telemarketer.
