What is Cold Calling?

Cold Calling is outbound telemarketing used to prospect customers. Businesses call potential customers on the phone to promote their businesses and services.

To know if cold calling is a good tactic for your company, you must measure your company’s progress during the campaign.

Statistics

June 2010, the Direct Marketing Association released its ‘2010 Response Rate Trend Report.’ The report said that cold-calling customers yielded the highest response rate. This 6.16 percent response rate for cold calling is greater than direct response tools. Examples of direct response vehicles are direct mail, email, paid search and Internet displays.

The Success Rate

You can measure the cold calling success rate by keeping track of how many calls the sale team makes. Once you collect this data, you can compare it to how many sales you acquire over any given time. Here is an example of a calculation:

 

A sale agent makes 80 calls a day, five days a week. The sale agent sells products to 24 customers. The success rate equals 6 percent. Your equation for this example is 24 customers divided by 400 calls a week, equals a 6 percent success rate for cold calls.

Using a Virtual Call Center

Wednesday, July 27th, 2011

With the faces of businesses constantly changing and more and more companies heading to the Internet – offering online ordering, customer service and other products over the Internet and over the phone – it is becoming increasingly important to utilize a dedicated call center. But seeing as this would be an expensive in-house addition to your current business plan, it only makes sense to outsource these services to a virtual call center.

Utilizing an in-house call center requires state-of-the-art telecom equipment, trained personnel, office space and a stream of business substantial enough to make those and other expenses worth the cost. A professional call center can offer you the same quality and efficiency as an in-house call center but for a fraction of the cost.

This article from EzineMark.com explains how hiring a professional call center will boost your business’ productivity while not putting a large burden on your budget.

These professional call centers have trained technicians who can handle any type of phone call – from emergency services to dispatch calls to order taking. This means that offering your customers the best possible service doesn’t have to mean hiring, training and maintaining a staff of your own telephone experts.
