Callbox Webinar: To Call or Not to Call? 5 Times Telemarketing is the Answer

Callbox started business in 2004. Back then, a calling list and a phone were everything we needed to generate leads and book appointments for our clients. But, over the course of seventeen years or so, some things changed.

From a mere lead generation company, Callbox has evolved into a global Multi-channel Sales & Marketing Support firm, and is now leading the pack with a suite of relevant B2B services such as Lead Generation, Account-based Marketing, Database Solutions, Event Marketing, Webinar, and Cross-border Marketing services, through its Singapore, Australia, Malaysia, and USA offices.

It’s growth, however, was not achieved as quick and easy as how it’s written here. Callbox went through several phases of innovations which were carried out by upscaling its in-house tools, adapting to technology transformations, and strengthening brand presence through events and partnerships.

One of the many breakthroughs of telemarketing which Callbox fully adopted is Multi-Channel Lead Generation, where apart from voice or calling, other channels were infused such as email, chat, web, social media, and webinar, to engage prospects at a place and time they are most comfortable to talk.

However, the rise of these channels led to skepticism in some marketers as to whether engaging a prospect in a call would still be relevant in the buyer’s journey or not, as surveys and white papers pen email, content, and social media, to be the most effective marketing channels today, hence, leading them torn between to call or not to call.

In the coming Callbox webinar titled, To Call Or Not To Call? 5 Times Telemarketing is the Answer, on August 18, 2021, at 1 PM SGT, which will be hosted by Callbox’s Marketing Coordinator, Charmaine Espanola, you will finally decide as you bag these takeaways:

  • Telemarketing is the most effective tool for generating leads, nurturing them, and qualifying prospects
  • Knowing when to and not to call a prospect can give you favorable results and better conversions
  • Resonate, and engage buyers at every Moment of Truth

In the webinar, you will learn how Callbox leverages multi-channel marketing differently through its SMART Calling approach which will help you engage the most responsive, and ready to talk potential buyers in your next telemarketing campaign.

Huddle 2020: The Much Needed Change To Reshape Business, and To Grow

Like greased lightning, Huddle 2020: Reshape your Business and Transform The Way You Grow conference went fast, bustling, and fun. The three-hour virtual event gathered the most influential industry leaders in APAC who shared their insights and expert advice on sage tools and strategies that businesses should adopt in order to keep a competitive advantage.

Rom Agustin, Callbox CEO, chaired the keynote presentation and went over the key attributes of what makes a B2B shapeshifter and how these unique traits contribute to their success and growth. The Callbox founder believes that company leaders should be keen to note the importance of adapting to change, which areas need to be refined, and the right technology stack to use. His insights were articulated in three separate sessions that followed.

In session 1, Callbox Client Services Manager, Mitos, together with Kaddra CEO, Quentin Chiarugi, delved into topics about technologies that can carry out the change that companies want to happen in the business and the challenges that come along with it, aside from pressing on the importance and benefits of mobile commerce in today’s business landscape.

Also, Callbox’s Account Manager, Patricia, teamed up with HubSpot’s Channel Consultant, Chiara Gaviraghi, in session 2, and shared tips and insights on the most effective ways businesses can optimize their sales process. The two marketing-savvy ladies also touched on the different tools, processes and frameworks that organizations can incorporate into their business to better manage workflows.

There were also networking opportunities in between sessions where attendees connected with Callbox Sales and Marketing consultants and industry peers, to ask questions, exchange thoughts, and uncover ideas.

And, capping this year’s virtual conference was a collaboration of three brilliant Callbox femme leaders from different departments in a fun and learning discussion in session 3: Rebecca for Marketing, Bernadette for Sales and Mitos for Client Services. The talk focused on how each leader reinvented their processes and teams in order to easily adapt to change and still keep sales productivity at scale.

We’ve been through hard sledding this year, but we managed to get through. Callbox is looking forward to sharing more insights and knowledge, discovering tools and strategies, and helping you transform the way you grow your business. With the right tools, strategies and a positive set of mind, we’ll surely have a smooth ride to Huddle 2021, and beyond.

Callbox-Concludes-Content-Marketing-Webinar-a-Success

Callbox Concludes Content Marketing Webinar a Success

Callbox bagged another success with its recently concluded live webinar, Capture Future Customers, Produce Content That Makes Prospects Buy. The engagement rate among attendees was high which left Ben, Callbox Content Manager and webinar host, catering more questions beyond the estimated 1 hour duration of the session.

Another good thing about the webinar was, the team didn’t have to bone up on topics to discuss, but just focused on the goal to share insights on how to deliver content that guides prospects as they travel the path from discovery to purchase, and still hit the mark.

Below are the attendees’ takeaways:

  • Learned the different content types and templates to use across channels like email, social, phone, web, chat and more
  • How to create custom content for all stages of the buyer’s journey
  • Identified the right CTAs to use that can surely move prospects to the next stage of the sales cycle
  • How to cut through the content sea of sameness and outsell competitors

A study showed that 70% of marketers are actively investing in content marketing, spending 46% of their budget on content creation and plan to double their efforts in the next five years. The Callbox Capture Future Customers, Produce Content That Makes Prospects Buy live webinar proved these statistics right with its 52% conversion rate from registration to attendees, which is substantially higher than the typical conversion rate average of 45%.
The success drives Callbox to produce more virtual events about relevant sales and marketing topics that would help business leaders come up with careful decisions. And, one of the upcoming webinars to look forward to is Callbox Spotlight: How Successful Tech Companies Leverage Outsourced Marketing, on June 30, 2 PM SGT and July 2, 11 AM PDT.

Here, attendees were advised to look closely into the webinar results like attendee profiles, surveys, polls and feedback, and use the data as success metrics and identifying opportunities for improvement.

Overall, the webinar paved the way for the attendees to learn how to leverage marketing automation to drive registration, attendees and conversions from virtual events.

Callbox’s core service is to provide quality leads for its clients to help them achieve optimal growth, but also sees the importance of educating them which is key to better engagement and gaining their trust.

Callbox + HubSpot: Unbox New Growth Possibilities

Callbox + HubSpot: Unbox New Growth Possibilities

For more than 15 years, Callbox has been helping businesses grow through lead generation and appointment setting. Since year one, we have made it our mission to be a part of our customers’ success by providing them with the skills, strategies, and technologies needed to drive their growth.

Today, we are thrilled to announce that Callbox has partnered with HubSpot. Callbox and HubSpot share the same deep-set belief and passion for helping businesses grow and with the union of our outbound expertise and HubSpot’s inbound prowess, we can deliver a more seamless and end-to-end prospect/customer relationship for our clients.

HubSpot improves the overall lifecycle management of Callbox leads and appointments and we are optimistic that through this partnership, our clients will be able to convert more leads into closed deals faster., says Rebecca Matias, Callbox’s VP of Sales and Marketing.

We have been working closely together so that you may take advantage of the various features that HubSpot has to offer on top of our Pipeline CRM which in turn will make the lead generation and customer acquisition process easier for you. To name a few, here are the top perks of the Callbox and HubSpot partnership that will definitely impact your lead gen campaign:

Improved Lead Management

HubSpot offers a complete marketing/sales/service CRM that unifies your data for better prospect/customer experience. Native integration with familiar tools like Gmail/Outlook email and calendar, lets you nurture leads better and in a more timely manner.

Setting appointments is now even easier using the Meetings tool. Additional features include a task builder to help you track and organize your tasks and follow-ups.

Going Mainstream

Sync HubSpot with Salesforce, Microsoft Dynamics, and many more and keep your databases aligned. HubSpot’s integration with popular CRMs lets you maintain a concurrent data state across platforms and teams.

Integrations are not just limited to CRMs. Connect existing tools and supercharge your nurturing campaigns via automation platforms such as Zapier, Automate.io, Workato, and many others.

Deeper Insights of Website Visitors

This feature is neat especially for the fact that it gives you a clear view of not only who and how many contacts visit your website but also of the way visitors interact with your content. You will get notified each time a lead visits your website as well as get a view of known companies that go to your website.

Moreover, your Callbox team can then qualify/nurture these leads and convert them into sales appointments.

Connect your Forms to your CRM

Grow your database with leads from your website using smart online forms. Your form fills will not come to you delayed, but will rather be updated in real-time so you never have to worry whether you’ll get an accurate update at the end of the day or days within the week.

Ensure that your sales team focus on the leads and opportunities with the greatest chance of becoming your customers by letting your Callbox team handle the tedious tasks of qualifying and nurturing your form leads.

Better Live Chat Control

To stay better connected with your prospects, HubSpot also gives you an improved live chat tool so you can have better control over your chat mechanics. You can now get notified via phone and immediately respond to any queries or concerns via your phone or desktop.

As Callbox and Hubspot are now officially partners, we are looking forward to improving our services and tools even further as time goes by.

Callbox Updates Pipeline CRM with ABM Features and UI Makeover (Featured Image)

Callbox Updates Pipeline CRM with ABM Features and UI Makeover

Suite of new features and capabilities makes Pipeline CRM a smarter and more streamlined tool for orchestrating Callbox marketing campaigns.

Callbox, an award-winning B2B lead generation company, this week released fresh updates to Pipeline, its proprietary CRM and marketing automation platform. The recently-unveiled updates include the following:

The new feature set vastly enhances and extends Pipeline CRM’s user experience and core functionalities for both clients and internal users.

We wanted to go beyond just tweaking Pipeline’s look and feel, says Rebecca Matias, Callbox’s Director of Sales and Marketing.

All these changes were made with the goal of giving users the ability to quickly see the big picture or drill down for a detailed view of things—from the campaign, accounts and contacts, all the way down to individual touches.

New ABM capabilities

One of these major improvements is the integration of ABM features into Pipeline. Pipeline CRM now enables Callbox campaigns to effectively apply account-based lead generation and sales prospecting strategies.

Users can now choose between Contacts View and Accounts View when looking at leads and prospects. Under Accounts View, contacts are displayed according to the organization they’re connected to. This makes it easy to target accounts and understand which decision makers in a company to engage.

Account View

Contact View

More intuitive dashboard and Richer reporting features

The Callbox team also redesigned the layout and appearance of Pipeline’s main dashboard and other reports pages based on user suggestions and feedback.

Aside from grouping leads by account as the default view, the main dashboard now shows lead scores for each prospect alongside other key details. This gives users a real-time update of each lead’s status at a single glance.

Pipeline Home

Campaign Reports

Streamlined Lead Nurture interface

Pipeline CRM ships with a marketing automation engine called Lead Nurture. Lead Nurture allows users to easily define and execute custom lead nurturing schemes using a drag-and-drop workspace.

This week’s round of updates also focused on improving the Lead Nurture UI. A major change is the addition of a new tab for viewing email templates used in a lead nurturing scheme. This enables users to handily determine which templates are working and which ones aren’t.

The redesigned UI for Lead Nurture now displays scheme performance reports by default. This aligns with the other enriched reporting features included in the new Pipeline updates.

Lead Nurture Reports

Lead Nurture Emails

Faster and more robust overall performance

A huge portion of the new updates were carried out to improve Pipeline CRM’s response and page load times. Better server management and backend optimization have resulted in a significant boost in performance.

It’s a faster and smarter platform, Rebecca adds. The key thing is that it helps produce better results for our customers.

The new and improved Pipeline CRM will go live on July 8, 2019. In the meantime, a beta version of the new and improved Pipeline is now up and running. Current Pipeline users can take it for a spin via this link:
