Appointments Setting & Sales Leads Generation
No matter the type or size of your business appointments and sales leads act as the cornerstone to any organisations continued success and profitability. Outsourcing your lead generation and appointment setting keeps your sales staff doing what they should be doing - meeting with qualified decision makers and selling your products or services. Too many businesses waste valuable time, money and resources on cold calling and research into developing leads and appointments.
Upon receipt of a detailed brief A-Lists would:
∑ Contact & identify the correct decision maker and log their complete contact details into a database built specifically for your purposes.
∑ Conduct a verbal presentation of your products or services to the appropriate decision maker, with the objective of securing a fully qualified, appointment.
∑ Distribute corporate literature and product information prior to making an appointment (if requested).
∑ Provide you with qualitative data at the conclusion of each working week or month on: number of calls made, leads generated, obstacles and objections encountered.
As mentioned before, all information gathered would be stored into a specific contact / client database which would be yours to use in any future marketing activity.

‘Garbage in Garbage out’ as the old saying goes, and this applies no more so than with a client / contact database. No matter how well thought out the sales and marketing plan, if the targeting data is incorrect or out of the date then the whole campaign will have been for nothing.
List and database validation has traditionally been seen as an expensive and time-consuming process. However, A-Lists employ powerful data validation tools as well as experienced telemarketers who will validate mailing lists, contacts and client databases fast and economically, allowing you to concentrate on the important elements of the campaign itself.

Controlled Circulation & Reader Registration

A-Lists can offer free advice of best practice scenarios to ensure data is collected fast and accurately. Incentives and rewards for fast track responses via interactive online collection methods have in the past proven highly successful.
Our highly professional call teams and managers would be responsible for managing your reader registration campaigns. Well trained and expertly motivated, A-Lists will ensure your objectives are met and your circulation controlled better than ever before.

Upon initial consultation, A-Lists could source suitable lists for potential attendees, design and create promotional materials, mail-out to the list and finally, conduct a follow up telemarketing booking service and then inform the client of attendees for them to invoice accordingly.
