Outsourcing Cold Calling

by Baadier Sydow
12 replies
Hi, I know there are many providers of VA's but I'm particurely interested in outsourcing cold calling to sell seo services. Has anybody worked with any quality outsourcers, whether a whole team or just a freelancer?

Any recommendations would be appreciated. Cold calling will be done in English.

    Cold callers whoa! that's a tough one, are you looking to pay someone via commissions or pay them hourly or pay them monthly? Incoming Call center agent is one thing but cold calling is another.

    I was looking to pay them weekly or a possible hybrid payment structure with weekly wages and commission. Preferably they would arrange the appointment, because i think closing the deal would be beyond them. I would the personally go and close the clients. I would provide them with the contact details to call.

    I typically do my hiring at a place called onlinejobs.ph but I've only hired call center agents for my SEO business. I'm not an expert outsourcing cold callers that sounds very to tough to monitor. I wish you all the best!

    I'm not currently doing IM full time and was hoping to find a way to get more done with my time while I'm at work.

      I talked with a lady that I found on elance. She seemed to have a good team that was local here in the States.

      I would go to Elance and type in telemarketing there and look for good ratings.

        Ultimatly the best value for your money is going to come out of the Philipines, but technique here is key. Get ready to split test your script many many times before you get it right, trial and error is the key.

        Who your calling is also everything find what groups are converting and hone in on them.

        You must have a decent hook like free service to get their interest or a free sample. Also, if the cold caller has no verbal skills, then no script will work ever. Whoever you hire, have them sell you on the job first, and if they don't sound convincing then don't hire them.

        Overall, people don't really trust cold callers as their is too many ripoffs, so its best to stay away from service based products in general when doing this.

    When done right, with smart research, scripts, good presentation and delivery, cold calls will definitely land your business.

      I have a call center in the Philippines and we do all kinds of cold calling. We can close sales, generate leads, do appointment setting, and take in bound sales calls. We can help with script creation and in setting up your campaign. Send a message through the forum or email me to tomg at callcominc.com. Some of the services we offer are found at getsmboutsourcing.com and socialmatrixblitz.com. Our pricing is way below what others charge and we can do it because of volume. We have 250 call center stations and an added 50 marketing stations. We can assign as many agents as you need and we will work on a salary and added commission bonus incentive.

      We require a set up fee to start the process that includes training agents and setting up the process on our network. We record all calls and we have quality control to make sure all calls are in compliance. We also have a special department for processing payments.

      Thanks, Tom Green CEO

    Post an ad - hold a few interviews with some candidates. They have a ton of talented individuals there. Just have to weed them out.

    I would consider hiring someone to do outside, commission-based sales. Perhaps distributing some literature would provide a good pretext for subsequent calls.
