Is telesales dead

[TelesMedia]

We still do telesales calls

post covid it was successful but now it feels a lot less so

does anyone still do 100-200 telesales calls a day??

does anyone answer them?

 

[Mark T Jones]

Funnily enough, I get 200 calls a day trying to improve my EE contract - I do wonder at the economics, but presumably somebody is making money from it

Then there are the more targeted and considered calls which may work if done well

Where are you in the market?

Not me. I only need one new client per week so cold calling wouldn't be much use.

But I do get a lot of calls asking about getting an energy survey. Not even a real person these days - it's all AI junk.

 

[TelesMedia]

i think ai is going to flood it even more to the point people just wont pick up - although thats already happening. i rarely pick up if i dont know the number.

i rarely pick up if i dont know the number.

What a refreshingly candid admission.

Unless you are in my contacts you won't get through

Just 200? I would feel hurt and ignored at those volumes

 

[Paul Norman]

Like all things, done well, it probably still does work. We do some outbound cold calling, and we do get leads from it.

Not 100 a day, though.

Of course, the many badly made sales calls are doing a decent job of devaluing the whole idea, and I get why, after being sold 3 funeral plans and told you were in a road accident, people might just be hanging up on callers who are not their actual mum.

I have always wondered what types of people actually entertain these calls, new iphone you say? sure! it must be a hard job to pursue, hats off to you if successful as I am sure most people will be rude

Hi, Do you mean cold calling? Are you calling B2B or domestic?

cold calling does not make sense in the modern age

 

[Lucan Unlordly]

Why not?

Surely it depends on what you are selling?

We sell products for events and cold call accordingly...
