Telemarketing: Telemarketing Tips


Calling customers could be very critical in such a way that outbound call center agents need to establish a good first impression. Remember you are dealing with customers over the phone. They didn’t know and see you, so for them to make a transaction with you; they should trust and believe in you first.
Being a part of the Philippines Telemarketing team, your goal is to acquire potential customers, thus boost the company’s sales. In order for you do this, you have to know everything about your product or services, and you need to be prepared on frequently asked questions as well. You must deliver all the valuable information of the products and emphasize all the benefits. Know your prospective clients by researching; it is the best key to generate leads and to know all the needed details in pitching your prospective customers. Communication skills are very important also in establishing the company’s professionalism and credibility. You have to keep in mind that communication is a two way process and doesn’t just stop by giving the customers the information but also listening and knowing what they need. Use the customers’ name to get their attention and establish a rapport for it is an effective tool in having repeat customers. But you need to have control of the conversation and should avoid unnecessary information. Learn how to anticipate their needs and be sincere about it. Make customers feel important and appreciated. Remember that customers are the most important asset of a business and without them, a company will not exist.

Achieving Quality and Quantity in Call Center


For Philippines call center agents, you may always hear these questions at work. How many calls have you received today? You would probably say, “I have taken a lot of calls than anyone on the team”. But the next question is, “how good were you in handling those calls?” Now, this must be the challenge.
Whether an inbound or outbound call center agent, it is a fact that you deal with customers and providing quality customer service is always one of the company goals. But as an agent, you must also have to keep in mind that you have a target sale to achieve as part of your responsibility. But how do these quality and quantity really works. Quality and quantity go hand in hand. At the highest level we should hope to provide the highest quantity of quality work without sacrificing one to gain the other. Instead of counting the calls you took, try to focus on how efficiently you handled those calls; efficient in such a way that you provide the customer with their needs, the right information by being knowledgeable on the products or services that you offer and the solutions to solve their issue in a short period of time. Go straight to the point in a courtesy way. A customer who received an answer in like five minutes is always better than talking for almost half an hour just to solve an issue. Our ability to adapt to each situation and provide the right quantity of quality will provide good customer service and will lead to successful business.

American Idol Season 10's First episode

AI Season 10 is here.. wooohooooo i like, i like --

i started watching AI since 2007, i know, i know I'm a late bloomer and since then year after year I wait and watch for the next season and part of it is to jot down my top bet list from auditions to finals.

As Season 10 starts auditioning in NJ, 51 hopefuls went through and i have 10 names with me now for my list but 4 of them moved me and made me drop some tears. Among the 4, I love the most the story of Melinda Ademi who came to US whose family were war refugee while Travis Orlando lives in a craziest place in New York, Bronx.

A Japanese national auditioned, Yuji Asano a.k.a Yuji Pop -- he was really funny. There's one who didn't make it through fell down in the stairs. I always love the bloopers they have in AI.

weeeeeeee til next epi.. can't wait, can't wait...

Morning Rides!

Happy New Year!! It's been a while I haven't posted anything here. It's 2011 and its time to blog from time to time. :)

I usually take PUJ every morning from 44E to 12L to 14D/06B/07D that's my usual route. And make it to a point to sit between to ladies to more secured, you know nman it's hard to commute nowadays. By doing so, I came across with lots of things. Some are some kinda gross just like what happened earlier on my way to the office. A girl sat on my left side since someone already seated on my right. She's pretty, long hair, nice eyelash and well groomed BUT when I glanced on her hair -- BANG --- she got LICE.. kalerky.. super minus.. makabuang man ni oi..

heheh..
