Using telemarketing services can have a significant impact on productivity efficiency regardless of the industry. Today, let’s use these the following two scenarios.
Scenario #1: In a busy automotive service center, the technicians must answer the phone amid doing oil changes, performing brake checks, and other services as needed. They also need to contact clients about a manufacturer’s safety recall. They are spread very thin. Customers are unhappy after having extended times on hold and experiencing delays in the amount of time it has taken to complete the service.
Scenario #2: This service center is equally as busy as the one in the first scenario. The difference is that they are using telemarketing services to schedule appointments, promote the current specials, and call clients about the same safety recall. Call queue times are short or non-existent. Callers are greeted with a skilled, friendly agent. Calls are brief, concise, and helpful; callers never dread making the next appointment.
In this second scenario, the service center saves on costs by improving its efficiency and allowing a call center to answer a higher volume of calls, allowing the staff at the service center to focus on the reason the customer’s vehicle is there. Between calls, the telemarketing services team is answering questions via email, chat, text, or is creating a second point of contact with clients they recently spoke to on the phone. Additionally, the team can perform survey work by reaching out to those customers who recently had a service performed. The service center has a goal of 100% customer satisfaction and wants to ensure its goal is achieved with each customer interaction.
Telemarketing services help businesses present high quality, unified customer experiences.
Regardless of the business’s industry or size, telemarketing services frees up time for internal resources to focus on the most critical company goals. Use telemarketing services to schedule appointments, generate leads, end-to-end sales, or customer demographic verification. Telemarketing services teams have the knowledge and skills to close deals and create future sales opportunities, filling the pipeline.
