Tips, tricks and challenges
- Discuss what you want the telemarketers to say. If you have a template, let them know. They will be the voice of your business so it is important that they represent your business well and accurately!
- There is very little you can do to control the quality of the individuals that the firm employs, so if possible, have a look at how the firm runs and supervises the calls.
Advice from other buyer(s)
- Tie in the pay to the results. Pay per lead instead. Pay per call was lots of volume but no results. Target eg $10 per meeting. Whether the person is persistent, based on reviews. Hire more of them. Expectations, don’t want to spam people on Facebook. Clear on what they are expected to do. Don’t take it up if you’re unwilling. (Inez Wihardjo, BonAppetour Operations Director)
