10 Tips for Improving Outbound Business to Consumer Telephone Sales Results
Business to Consumer Telemarketing
The outbound telemarketing industry has nearly collapsed under the weight of its own bad behaviors and deceptive practices. Yet, the reasons to call consumers at home and present an offer still exist. In this whitepaper you will learn the best ways to avoid those ‘telemarketer behaviors’ and get more results.
Here’s how it begins: “The world of business-to-consumer sales has changed more than any other business in the last 5 years, in my opinion. Today’s consumer is sophisticated and skeptical. If you are selling to someone who has ever bought a computer, then you are dealing with a person who spent a lot of time researching and a lot of money buying a product that became obsolete almost before it became useful. This is a tough crowd.
Consumers receive sales approaches at least 20 times per day from telecallers, magazines, newspapers, and TV and radio advertising. We are accustomed to making a decision about an offer’s value in a matter of seconds. Often before we have heard the offer. That’s why we say we don’t care if someone can save us time and money. We won’t listen to someone who is giving away free services even if it’s something we now pay for.”
