Donors do not want to be bothered
Sure, if you mention telemarketing to the average person, they may begin to cringe. Unfortunately, some think telemarketing is synonymous with annoyance; yet, would you be bothered of becoming informed about something of interest?
Telemarketing has been and still is an effective way to connect with people. The telemarketing service is serving as a means to an end. People who want to donate to your respective charity will not be averted from making their donation because of the presence of telemarketing in the process.
It’s a futile attempt because I will have to pay for the telemarketing as well
Yes, you will have to factor in the telemarketing service’s payment, but you should expect a considerable amount of money collected in comparison to what you must pay them. In addition, the telemarketing service may also be interested in positive public relations and may offer you a discount for their involvement in the charity process.
In addition, you should have an equation or number set in place referring to the amount of time and money spent on the endeavor. There should be a threshold signifying the time to desist from the program.
Company representatives have tried telemarketing before and it just didn’t work
Successful telemarketing requires experience. Telemarketing services have trained and experienced workers on hand that are seasoned in communicating with people over the phone. Telemarketing is a learned skill similar to that of writing or IT work. Experience begets better results.
I am leery about having another company call on behalf of mine
This concern is understandable, yet the entire business-to-business industry is built upon companies working for other companies. In fact, there are many telemarketing services that specialize in the business-to-business sector.
In addition, it would be wise to devise your own script supplying the service with information about the charity, its history, your company’s part in the process, etc.
Some anxieties can be expected, but outsourcing for services is something in which successful businesses do all of the time.
