- Improved Lead Quality. A one-to-one personal communication process in which I speak directly with each prospect and develop that relationship for you with lead nurturing follow-up calls is how I work the phones and make the calls.
- Yes, it's a process. But from cold lead through satisfied customer it brings you better quality sales prospects...higher conversion rates...and more revenue per sales lead than is typically achieved by direct mail, email marketing, or traditional one call telemarketing.
- See what's working. Want to know which leads are closer to bringing you revenue...and which prospects you need to nudge along with emails, seminar invitations, direct mail offers, etc., etc.
- You'll be able to track each lead...share lead information...and adjust tactics because I send you call outcome reports for each completed call. Bottom Line: You get a new visibility into the multiple mechanics and dimensions of a marketing campaign.
Improved Sales Efficiency.Are your marketing dollars churning out sales leads that are poor quality and difficult to track?
Stop the bleeding! EVERY sales lead I generate for you gets followed-up.
Every sales lead is tracked so you quantify and measure how well your campaign is working.
If you aren't measuring how well your ads are doing then you are not doing marketing at all but instead PR.

I've been a big fan of this book for years...and recommend it to all my Marketing Direct subscribers.
Among the highlights:
- Test Advertising Campaigns: "Almost any (advertising) question can be answered cheaply, quickly and finally by a test campaign. And that's they way to answer them --- not by arguments around a table."
- Just Salesmanship:"Advertising is salesmanship. Treat it like a salesman. Force it to justify itself".
- Good Business:"...most national advertising is done without justification. It is merely presumed to pay. A little test might show a way to multiply returns."
- Things Too Costly: "Many things are possible in advertising which are too costly to attempt. That is another reason why every project and method should be weighed and determined by a known scale of cost and result."
- Letter Writing;"Letters to inquirers, follow-up letters, whenever possible they should be tested. Where that is not possible they should be based on knowledge based on tests."
- Offer Service:" Remember the people you address are selfish, as we all are. They care nothing about your interests or your profit. They seek service for themselves. Ignoring this fact is a common mistake and a costly mistake in advertising."
