How to pick a Good Telemarketing Agency
At Isogon Marketing we believe there are many factors to consider when choosing potential telemarketing firms. Some may be more or less important to your business, but they should all be weighed during your purchasing process.
Price
Overall pricing is the fi rst item many companies use to select a telemarketing firm. Unfortunately, for some companies, it is the only item. Choosing a service provider to interact directly with hundreds or thousands of your prospects and customers should be treated as a partnership building, not a bargain shopping, expedition.
Try to obtain quotes on either a per-hour/day or per dedicated rep basis. Remember that training and set up costs can be substantial but also vary greatly in style and content.
Experience
Look for a firm with significant experience providing outsourced telemarketing services. Industry veterans know the importance of good infrastructure - phone systems, computers, and software - as well as how to adapt with the times. You may also want to look for firms with experience in your exact industry. This can reduce the amount of training needed and help launch your program more quickly – but, of course, is no guarantee of success.
Operators
Whether they are called agents or operators, the quality of the employees who make calls on your behalf is vital. Ask about their payment structure and the minimum hiring requirements to get a sense of how the company values its employees. Ask about the provider’s commitment to staff training and promoting from within; employees who have growth opportunities are more likely to stay with their current job.
Additional services
You should choose firms who can provide an overall level of support sufficient to your needs. Make sure your account manager understands your industry and your business, since he or she will be your day-to-day point of contact. Reporting is another important aspect of the provider’s offering. Without detailed, accurate reporting, judging results becomes next to impossible. Before discussing reporting in detail with potential vendors, gather input from your staff regarding the statistics that are important to them and how often they are needed. Finally, make sure the vendor has adequate data security measures in place. Since they will be responsible for your valuable customer data, you need some guarantees that it will remain safe and secure. In addition to the above we at Isogon Marketing also believe strongly that you need to visit the company to fully appreciate its capabilities and how it rates.
