Dont Put All Your Eggs in The Same Basket

Solution: You can protect yourself by partnering with other lead sources because it is unlikely that they will all have a problem or technical issue at the same time.

Other alternative: It doesn't hurt either to use a few marketing tools to generate leads for your business. Again don't just depend on one marketing medium to generate leads because it may slow down at one point. Just think about other ways to get qualified leads. You can use Direct mail, Call Centers, Newspapers, Radio, TV, Online Advertising etc..

Don't just depend on one lead source. If your supplier goes out of business, you won't get your leads.

What do you know about voice broadcasting?

Voice Broadcasting Marketing

A legal, and simple solution for getting hundreds, or thousands of calls out almost instantly!

Gives you the power to deliver a targeted and personalized message to a targeted audience in the geography of your choice. You can reach:

Consumers: Select by: Income, Age, Geography, Home Value and more.

Businesses: Select by Job Title, Business Type, Sales, Employee Size.

Deliver your message to answering services and/or live respondents AND allow them to be connected to your office with the push of a button.

Direct Connect

"To speak with a representative now, press ONE."

There's nothing more POWERFUL & EXCITING than instant response, and with Direct Connect, your customers and prospects have the ability to respond to your offer instantly, with the push of a button.

"Please hold while we connect you."

They will be transferred immediately to your call center or sales office, no matter where. Then you can speak directly with them to close that sale, gather needed information, verify or change appointments... the possibilities are endless! This service has been proven to increase effectiveness of telemarketing campaigns as much as 75%.

How It Works

Your campaign can be constructed so that if an answering machine answers, one particular message is delivered (or the call is disconnected, if desired). If a live person answers, a different message is delivered, giving them the chance, with the push of a button, to respond to an offer, acknowledge receipt of an important announcement, renew a subscription, or with Direct Connection even connect to one of your live sales agents instantly... the possibilities are endless!

Reach Existing Clients

You MUST STAY IN TOUCH with existing clients and reinforce customer loyalty for your products and services. Earlier this week I did an email broadcast to all my past clients and prospects and as a result I received phone calls from many prospects. Keep in mind that everybody is very busy and they cannot always remember you. Your clients and prospects can easily be distracted and forget about your company.

Two main reasons. First they receive many offers from your competition, second they forgot all the benefits of your product/service. If you do not stay in touch with existing clients or prospects, they will go somewhere else. It's been PROVEN! So don't let them go to your competition!

When was the last time you got in touch with past clients or prospects? OH!!!

Customer Retention and Loyalty Programs

It has been proven that keeping in touch with customers keeps them coming back... keeps them loyal. Create goodwill and maintain top-of-mind awareness for your business or service with special offers, announcements, thank you... the possibilities are endless!

Use Voice Broadcast Services to:

Offer loyalty discounts

Special of the month

Overstock

Create awareness of products and services

Announce new products and services

Send "Thank You" for recent purchases

Find out if they were satisfied with past purchase

Ask for referrals

Reach New Prospects

As I said earlier it is wise to use multiple marketing tools to generate leads for your business. You MUST test different marketing tools to generate leads so that you know what works best. Voice broadcast serves as a stand alone and complimentary marketing tool.

How many marketing mediums have you tested so far? What additional tools have you recently thought about to reach new prospects and past clients?

Direct Mail Support - Call-Mail-Call Campaigns

It has been proven to DOUBLE the effectiveness of your direct mail programs if you notify customers ahead of time to look for special offers they are about to receive in the mail. Then, follow up after your mailing to remind them of time-sensitive materials and re-state your offer once again for maximum effectiveness. Plus, when you compare the costs of calling versus mailing, you'll see why this is such an effective addition!

The Benefits of Voice Broadcasting

Voice Broadcast systems can reduce customer service costs and enhance your organization or business by:

Providing high volume contacts and notifications

Expanding hours of operation

Automating routine calls thereby freeing employees to concentrate on more complex duties

Speeding response times to message recipients

Expanding call capacity faster and at a lower cost

Reducing the cost of employee or call center agent turnover

Voice broadcasting benefits can show an immediate return on investment and make any business or call center more profitable.
