Marketing for the Complex Sale: Nine Reasons Why You Need Telemarketing
If you’re selling complex and expensive products or services, the telephone is a key marketing tool - with an emphasis on the word “marketing”. It’s not just for sales people anymore. Here’s what telemarketing can do for you:
It’s not uncommon to find companies assigning telemarketing duties – particularly cold calling – to the field sales team. This may seem to make sense; after all, sales people must be good on the phones, right? But in reality it’s a bad idea. Sales people get paid to close and that means they have little patience for finding and developing prospects who may or may not become an opportunity a year or two from now. That’s the job of marketing. Once you’ve made the decision to try a formal telemarketing program, you’ll have to choose an implementation strategy. Some companies prefer to handle telemarketing with an internal staff. Others outsource it to one of many telemarketing services. Either approach can be successful, and the decision more often than not depends on the culture of your company.
