COLD CALLING

COLD CALLING

If you have worked yourself into a cold sweat about cold calling, we are here to help. At Agenze we know all about inviting discomfort and risking despair.

Cold prospecting is uncomfortable. Let's face it, we're all inundated by telemarketers who cold call for everything. We hate being on the receiving end. So we don't want to do it ourselves. It's dread that thwarts cold calling. Fear of not being perfect, of being yelled at, of making a fool of yourself.

Some barriers are psychological, and there are people whose emotional makeup simply doesn't lend itself to these special stresses and strains of selling.

At Agenze all of us have the attitude (what we're willing to do). Maybe more important is careful preparation and training (what we're able to do). That's salesmanship, and we're still in the game. In other words, capability begets confidence. Knowing how doesn't erase the fear, but it makes it so much easier to stomach. That's where our systems comes to the assistance of our calling agents. True to its name, IvyOffice our own proprietary software gives us the insight and the chance to deliver the full pitch every time we pick up the phone to call a prospect.

At Agenze we have specialists who can coldcall effectively and deliver better results than direct mail or email marketing. The thing about cold calling is that it is a form of personal, not mass, marketing. It requires a one-to-one tele-presence and our telemarketers are very good at it.

Our cold calling rates start at £7.50 per hour. Call charges are extra and charged out at a wholesale rate of 1p a minute for landlines, 4p a minute for 0845 numbers and 9p a minute for mobile numbers.
