Sales Growth is Calling
If b2b salespeople were craftspeople then the phone would be the tool of their trade. Phone calls play a crucial role not only in getting appointments that ultimately lead to conversion, but are also instrumental in customer relationship management that will keep current customers in the loop on new products and allow the salesperson or other account manager to spot new opportunities or fix anything that isn't right.
But the cost of staffing and maintaining a calling center in-house for CRM and sales applications is usually prohibitive. Only large businesses have the scale necessary to justify an in-house b2b telesales force. And even if they can afford them, businesses will have trouble finding the best appointment-setters and telesales people, since truly skilled callers are so hard to find.
Sales force outsourcing makes a lot of sense for b2b organizations who want the contacts and expertise that come with a contracting an outsourcing company. By employing an outside firm, businesses can save on the overhead of their own force, pay for sales support as they needed it, and get the best callers in the business.
Outsourcing businesses are also attractive because they are so well integrated into so many industries. They have either sold to or helped thousands of businesses, so their network of contacts and friends gives them a good foundation from which to launch b2b telesales to higher levels.
Beyond bringing a wide network and better callers to the table, sales force outsourcing can improve their clients' cost structures and make them more predictable. There are a few ways that their clients save. First, hiring and training phone salespeople - which eats into productivity, distracts from core business, and is extensive - is eliminated from the process. Next, because the productivity and conversion of the outsourcing firm's people is likely higher - this is their business after all - clients will get more bang for their buck. Last, the physical overhead requirements of maintaining a sales force are eliminated in terms of the space and technology that would otherwise be needed to support it.
Outsourced solutions also offer a lot in the way of flexibility. Whether it's a short-term campaign or a long-term partnership that will allow the client to focus more on strategy and less on the nitty-gritty of selling, a sales outsourcing company can provide a telesales solution.
Whether it's because of the quality of the phone operators, flexibility, improved productivity, improved profitability, or general simplification of day-to-day business, there are many reasons for businesses to consider outsourced telesales.
