Considering Telemarketing for qualified appointments? Here is a must-read!

At first glance appointment-setting telemarketing may look simple. But there is more that meets the eye with it. Sure, you know your business better than anyone else and calling a list of prospects to get appointments does not seem too difficult. In fact it is easy, but only when the number of prospects is about 50, given that telemarketing is not your only job of the day.

Are you missing out on outsourcing benefits because of these concerns?

As I was browsing this morning, I came across an interesting article on outsourcing. It was about factors that discourage people to outsource. Since I am in the outsourcing industry myself, I decided to write one on it and pen down my own thoughts on how to overcome them.

How do you act when the “panic button” is pushed!

Do you have fun at work? Yes?

Well, however comfortable and fun work may be there is always an occasional time of crisis. And crisis – is NOT fun.
Not everyone handles a crisis well. The following incident that one of my friends was telling me about is a good example.
She works as a Sales Executive for a company that sells herbal diet pills. They work as teams with a Team Leader heading the division. Each member of the team has a ‘sales target’ of selling 200 cartons of pills within a 3 month period. This happens to be an unreasonable target, given that the product is fairly new in the market.
