Singapore B2B Lead Generation Company The 4 Things that make up a First-Rate B2B Telemarketer We’ve heard people say that a telemarketing call’s success is 50% chance (i.e. the prospect’s level of need, his availability, his temperament during the call, etc) and 50% skill (telemarketer’s aptitude in appointment setting). That is actually not true. While there are indeed some aspects that are beyond control, a telemarketer’s skill definitely constitutes more than just 50% of the process. Why? Because even in unfavorable circumstances, a good telemarketer can turn things around. A first-rate telemarketer has the ability to turn a “no” into a “yes”, or to educate prospects so that whatever they think may not be “necessary” can turn into something worth looking at after all. What are the 4 qualities that first-rate telemarketers possess? Communication skills – Obviously, one has to have the smarts in talking to people before anything else. Management skills – Not pertaining to employee ranks here. Experience – Yes, experience matters.

Pay-per-Appointment Telemarketing: 4 things to reflect upon One of the most likely reasons why companies support the pay-per-appointment model of B2B telemarketing is that it’s a financially low-risk option, since they only pay for scheduled appointments set for them. They can clearly see where their money goes to, and so for them it is far more cost-effective compared to traditional packages. The standing question, though, is whether or not this kind of transaction can produce the same quality of appointments, the same approach towards telemarketing, the same follow-up mechanism, and the same impression from prospects. You see, pay-per-appointment contracts aren’t exactly what B2B telemarketing agencies shoot for, as they would rather a conventional-type model. That, itself, can be a factor to consider. If you’re planning to employ this method into your marketing mix, here are some points to ponder on: Is it okay for you that your callers are going to be aggressive? How would you know if appointments are unique to you?
