It seems that as the recession has deepened, there’s been a greater degree of polarisation in the way that people approach telemarketing and cold calling as a means of getting themselves in front of potential clients, suppliers and vendors with whom they can make agreements and conduct business. One the one hand, there are those who believe the telephone is the work of the devil, and take a “holier than thou” attitude to anyone who has the audacity to interrupt their day (business is full of those anyway, isn’t it?), and there are those that recognise that it’s a way of getting answers from decision makers, often without the need to meet in person, swallow up more time and incur the cost of travel.

With the emphasis on a focused approach to a finite number of contacts at 10 selected companies, and without the need to be tied into a long contract, phoneforbusiness launches the Top 10 Targets Telemarketing Program.
Recognising that not every company can afford to outsource ongoing or large scale cold calling efforts, phoneforbusiness has developed a simple and short-term program with the emphasis on determining outcomes for companies that know who they want to speak with but haven’t the time or the core skills to put such a campaign into practice in-house.
