Marketing Your Business And Advertising Your Services B2B Telemarketing  

Used with the right personal touch your telephone can be a powerful and cost effective sales tool.
This video gives you a quick overview of tested and practical ways to market your business by phone.
You will see B2B telemarketing as a professional, high end approach to building long term relationships with your customer and prospect base — a market tested strategy that can deliver HUGE returns — outperforming e-mail marketing…direct mail…and social media marketing campaigns.
The secret is to use B2B telemarketing with the right personal touch and not merely as an indiscriminate numbers game.
This is especially significant for small business owners.
It gives you the ability to establish one to one personal contact with new business prospects in a very personal way…ahead of the bigger companies with larger, less personalized sales and marketing organizations.

Why Sales Organizations Fail At B2B Telemarketing

Rather than long term relationship building most sales organizations go about their b2b telemarketing in the wrong way.
They want the quick sales…the hot leads…the prospects who are primed and ready for a face-to-face sales appointment.
If that’s your strategy your telemarketing will fail.
You will walk away from your b2b telemarketing projects frustrated..discouraged…convinced telemarketing does not work.
So do yourself a favor. Forget one call B2B telemarketing.
Think instead of follow-up calls.
Or put another way, identify key prospects with introductory cold calls. From there use follow-up calls to develop these prospects and work them into becoming your customers.

Outsourcing B2B Telemarketing

Outsourcing to call centers is fine for high volume cookie cutter telemarketing.

But this is not the kind of B2B telemarketing I’m suggesting you try — especially if your business is small business.

My advice is test your telemarketing on a much smaller scale…something far more personal and way more practical for the small business owner.

 B2B Telemarketing Appointments. Quality appointments do not happen overnight.
Routine follow-up calls plus e-mail follow-ups work wonders to get you in the door for a face-to-face meeting.
Also, B2B telemarketing is a form of direct marketing And building a highly targeted database is the key to any successful direct marketing campaign.
Therefore, view each call as a means for fine tuning your business development database. It’s a work in progress that never ends! 
What about outsourcing?  Top management will insist only salespeople with deep understanding of the markets they are selling can do sales development cold calling.
It’s myth based on ignorance rather than tested cold call business development experience.
A good over the phone sales person can work any industry. Same goes for face to face sales. The top producers are at home regardless of product or service they sell.
