Selling over the phone is incredibly difficult. Generally, it involves catching someone who wasn’t planning on buying something at a time when they had no intention to talk to anyone. Not only can it be very uncomfortable, it is just very hard. However, for some industries, outbound telemarketing is a key sales channel. That doesn’t mean you have to manage it internally. There are a number of very good reasons that the best answer is an outbound call center solution.
TURNOVER RATE
It’s an open secret about the industry that call center jobs have a high turnover rate. The job can be very demanding and draining, and workers will often find new jobs in a few years. If you run the call center, that means that you have to dedicate a large amount of resources to the hiring and training of new employees. That is a very expensive process that can be circumvented entirely by contracting to an outbound call center. This way, you can also assure yourself that the people making calls on your behalf are well trained and competent.
COST TO SETUP
Setting up and maintaining a call center is very expensive. The physical location to run it, equipment, connection costs, everything adds up. Instead of burdening your company with those costs, it’s better to outsource the need and simply pay a variable fee for services rendered.
THE FINE PRINT
Telemarketing is an area that runs into a number of legal boundaries, and those boundaries can vary from state to state and change unexpectedly. If your primary business isn’t connected to telemarketing, then it is very possible that you could be unaware of a regulation, or that something was scheduled to change. You can be sure that a company that specializes in telemarketing will be up to date with the necessary laws.
Finally, by outsourcing your outbound call center, you can be confident that you are getting the best service possible. If you or other members of your company tried to do all of your outbound calls, you would be limited by your own experience and the capability of your equipment. As a company that specializes in outbound calls, the company you outsource with would make sure that they have the proper people and the best tools available to exceed your goals
