You’ve been there. The phone rings, and on the other end is another uninterested voice, another “no,” another lead slipping through your fingers. Cold calling is tough, especially when you’re trying to expand your network and boost sales in a niche industry. Just because you suck at cold calling doesn’t mean your business needs to suffer. Let’s dive into why doing it yourself might not be the best idea.
The harsh reality of DIY telemarketing
No budget for telemarketing? Think again!
So, you’re thinking about handling telemarketing in-house to save some bucks. It sounds like a good plan, right? Think again. Especially in niche industries, you will burn through your leads list faster than you can say “voicemail.”
Take Tyre Shop Online, for instance. In 2020, Priscila and Ross decided to take the bold step of purchasing the business. Ross brought 25 years of experience, and Priscila was a whiz at communication and marketing. But when it came to expanding their tyre fitter network, they hit a wall.
Frequent rejections – the cold, hard truth
Priscila explained it perfectly: “We were getting ten out of ten ‘nos’ when calling fitters.” The duo was spending excessive time on unsuccessful calls, facing frequent rejections, and dealing with time constraints. They needed a solution to reclaim their time and focus on growth, and that’s where Hot Leads came in.
