Telemarketing is NOT the Anti-Christ

Posted by vernonsimpson on May 14, 2012

This week  you’ll learn how to use direct mail marketing and, yes, telemarketing to your full advantage. I know, the word “telemarketing” might as well be four letters, but there is a way to help customers feel like they are getting personal attention and keep them from blocking your number!

With the success direct mail marketing has had and the availability of computers, these can be used as a powerful marketing tool for your success. Telemarketing is best for high priced, high margin products/services.

Here are the key steps to putting together a highly effective direct mail marketing program:

  1. List all benefits customers will get from the purchase of your products and services.
  2. Pick the single most powerful benefit out of that list.
  3. Build an attention-getting headline around that benefit. Remember to use emotion-fulfill the desire to be young, wealthy, desired, popular or successful.
  4. Develop a sales letter using the headline you created to grab attention, provide information and motivate customers to act.
  5. Put together supplementary items, such as a brochure, order form, reply envelope or note that encourages them to read the letter.
  6. Rent or purchase a mailing list.
  7. Compare cost of mailing vs. cost per order.
  8. Continue to test and refine your direct mail marketing plan.

You can see how direct mail marketing can help you find a local or even country-wide target market to send letters or postcards to and draw in new clientele and customers. Fine-tuning your marketing campaign will bring better results and therefore lower the overall  cost of the campaign.

To be successful in telemarketing you need to:

  • Put together a plan, so you know exactly what you want to accomplish during the call.
  • Develop a list of topics to discuss and the questions you want to present around these topics.
  • Input verbiage checking to see if you are calling at a good time.
  • Include enough questions to keep the conversation interesting, but not too many to sound like you are interrogating.
  • Start with broad questions and narrow your focus as the conversation continues.
  • Offer feedback to show them you are paying attention and appreciate their time.
  • Don’t insult their intelligence or manipulate them.
  • Listen first, talk second.
  • Be relaxed and conversational.

Telemarketing doesn’t have to be the trauma it’s made out to be. You can put together an honest, personal and effective telemarketing campaign that is endearing, informative and gets the job done. Think of how you would want to be treated on a marketing call. Ask your friends and family what they hate most about the telemarketing calls they get and work hard to craft your plan in a better way.

When selling by telephone, you have approximately thirty seconds to convince the customer to listen to you. You need an opening statement that captures their attention, conveys who you are, what you want and why the prospect should listen.” Jay Abraham

    I was curious if you ever considered changing the layout of your site?
    Its very well written; I love what youve got to say.
    But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better.
    Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one
    or two images. Maybe you could space it out better?

    Hey there just wanted to give you a quick
    heads up. The words in your article seem
    to be running off the screen in Firefox. I’m not sure
    if this is a format issue or something to do
    with web browser compatibility but I thought I’d post to let you know.
    The design and style look great though! Hope you get the
    problem solved soon. Kudos

    With havin so much content and articles do you ever run into any
    problems of plagorism or copyright violation? My
    blog has a lot of unique content I’ve either created myself or outsourced but it seems a lot of it is
    popping it up all over the internet without my agreement.

    Do you know any ways to help protect against
    content from being stolen? I’d really appreciate it.

    When I originally commented I clicked the “Notify me when new comments are added” checkbox and
    now each time a comment is added I get several emails with the same comment.
    Is there any way you can remove me from that service? Bless
    you!

    I have been browsing on-line more than three hours today, yet
    I by no means found any interesting article like
    yours. It is beautiful value enough for me. In my opinion, if all web owners and
    bloggers made good content material as you probably did, the
    web will be a lot more helpful than ever before.

    I think what you posted was actually very reasonable.
    However, think about this, suppose you wrote a catchier post title?
    I ain’t suggesting your information is not good., but
    what if you added a post title that makes people desire more?
    I mean Telemarketing is NOT the Anti-Christ | MyBusinessDevelopmentAcademy.com is kinda boring.
    You ought to look at Yahoo’s home page and note how
    they create article headlines to get people interested. You might add a related video or a picture or two to get readers excited
    about what you’ve got to say. In my opinion, it might bring your posts a little bit more interesting.

    My programmer is trying to persuade me to move to .net from PHP.
    I have always disliked the idea because of the expenses.
    But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using Movable-type on a number of websites for about a
    year and am concerned about switching to another platform.
