/0 Comments/in /by

The Client

The Client is the world’s largest privately held insurance brokerage firm, providing insurance, risk management, employee benefits and retirement services.

The Challenge

The Client has an in-house team in Hong Kong which acts as its core marketing support in APAC, and is responsible for engaging fortune companies in the region. It’s a strong resource for building a huge stack of global customers and the company’s annual growth. Despite its market strength, the Client continues to create innovative solutions to scale up the business. With a new project to launch in Asia, the Client decided to outsource to fill in the gaps in building intelligent marketing campaigns.

The Callbox Solution

Looking at the campaign objectives, Callbox planned out an Account-Based Marketing campaign which consisted of:

  • Account-Based Multi-Channel Lead Management via Voice, Email, Chat, Web, Webinar, and Social Media
  • Sales Enablement & Support which included Team Training, Account Setup, and Back Office Sales Support
  • Tools & Subscriptions utilization of Callbox Pipeline and HubSpot CRM
  • Account Management including Strategy Building, Reporting, and Product Knowledge

The Goals

  • The Callbox team was to build a well profiled database of the Client’s prospects in Singapore
  • To market the Client’s Corporate Risk and Employee Benefit insurance programs

The campaign involved two key steps:

Account Research and Selection

  1. The Client specified target industries, locations and relevant contacts
  2. Callbox worked out the Client’s ideal customer profile (ICP) which served as a basis for identifying qualified accounts
  3. Callbox then compiled a list of potential contacts to target, which was reviewed and approved by the Client

Account and Prospect Profiling

  1. The Client provided target decision makers for the Callbox team to reach, which consisted of detailed demographic and firmographic segmentations.
  2. The buyer personas designated as the campaign’s primary targets were  HR and Finance Managers.
  3. The master contact list was segmented based on these personas, and was further grouped according to industry type.

Results

Overall, the Account-Based Marketing Lead Generation and Appointment Setting campaign produced a total of 186 Sales Qualified Leads and 12,749 Profiled Contacts.

The campaign kicked off with only one agent in the first quarter. Based on the impressive performance that the Callbox team showed in the first three months, the Client added another seat in the second quarter, and renewed for another six months.

Callbox Revs Up Tax Consulting Firm's Sales Efforts [CASE STUDY]

Callbox Revs Up Tax Consulting Firm’s Sales Efforts

/0 Comments/in /by

The Client

The Client is an independent property tax consulting firm specializing exclusively in providing taxpayers of commercial, industrial, multi-residential, and special purpose properties with full-range property assessment and tax management services.

They have a national reach with 19 offices that handle large sales territories across the United States including New York, California, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts and Texas.

The Challenge

The Client needed a way to help all their Managing Consultants who head each regional office across the country in bulking up their sales pipeline.

The Callbox Solution

The Client approached Callbox to conduct an aggressive telemarketing campaign that would fill their calendars with qualified appointments on a daily basis. Starting with a test campaign for one location, Callbox now conducts the appointment setting campaign for 14 of the Client’s 19 locations including its head office in Arizona.

To meet the Client’s requirements, Callbox decided to assign a personal appointment setter to the Main Specialist for each location. Appointments are set based on a detailed script and strict qualifying criteria provided by the Client including:

  • Introduction of the Client to the prospect
  • Explanation of the coverage of the appointment being set on behalf of the consultant or specialist
  • Initial qualification of the prospect based on the amount currently paid in personal taxes
  • Delivery of proper rebuttals when necessary

Callbox appointment setters then e-mail the prospect companies copies of the Client’s marketing collateral and Statement of Qualifications.

Appointments are then delivered via Pipeline CRM, an online CRM tool developed by Callbox especially for clients with distributed offices and disparate territories. This enables consultants and specialists to access their up-to-date sales pipeline anytime, anywhere, maximizing their time to develop new business. Sales people can follow-up the appointments even when the Specialists are not available, making sure no leads fall through the cracks.

Results

Callbox experienced appointment setters coupled with the Callbox online appointment setting tool allowed the Client to concentrate on their core business-delivering exceptional property tax consulting services rather than cold-calling and managing each sales person.

The Client now enjoys:

  • Over 100 highly qualified appointments every month
  • Higher conversion rate as a result of improved lead quality
  • Coherent single-source feedback on the current pulse of the market in various territories
Speeding Up Lead Flow for Leading Payment Processor [CASE STUDY]

Speeding Up Lead Flow for Leading Payment Processor

/0 Comments/in /by

The Client

The Client comprises of regional directors and division managers of one of the leading independent payment processors in the United States, handling credit and debit card transactions as well as payroll services for over 100,000 restaurants, hotels, and other retail merchants. They employ over 400 staff, and over 800 sales representatives. Their company, headquartered in the east coast, has numerous regional offices that handle large sales territories such as Ohio, California, Texas, Arizona, Indiana.

The Challenge

The Client needed a reliable marketing strategy to keep its services clearly faster and more accessible than that of the increasing number of competitors in the highly-competitive mercantile arena. Specifically, the Client aimed to help their operational level Relationship Managers manage their sales pipeline to encourage increased business development.

The Client wanted to:

  • Grow their vested organization substantially with heavy emphasis on quality people and low sales professional turnover
  • Leverage their 800 strong nationwide sales force
    coverage

The Callbox Solution

The Client realized they could meet both objectives with the Callbox Appointment and Lead Generation program. Callbox assigned a personal inside sales agent to each Salesperson in the campaign and provided each Salesperson their own online appointment book. This sales force then had their schedules saturated with prequalified appointments. Without the need to cold call, the sales force was free to concentrate on closing. The result was a substantial increase in sales leads without increasing the sales force.

The experienced sales force was delighted to have fresh leads delivered throughout each day, enjoyed more commission, and were thrilled to be free of cold-calling. This resulted in markedly lower sales force turnover for the Client.

Appointment Setting

The Callbox inside sales agents were tasked to carry out the following:

  1. Raise contacts on the phone
  2. Educate contacts about the products and services
  3. Gauge interest in the services by asking qualifying questions, making notes on all targets, instantly viewable by the assigned Salesperson and the regional supervisor
  4. Set appointments for the sales force
  5. Provide real-time reporting via the Callbox Pipeline CRM

Results

As a result of using Callbox experienced inside sales agents, and the Callbox online real-time appointment calendaring to schedule individually all the agents in the campaign, the Client was free from micro-managing the sales force and could concentrate on the larger implications of the numbers coming in.

To date, the ongoing campaign has resulted in the following:

  • A 3-fold increase in sales team activity in terms of number of proposals made and sales meetings completed
  • Improved lead quality as evidenced by a 70% reduction in no-show sales appointments and a 110% increase in response rates
  • Additional prospect-level sales intelligence for all its 800 reps nationwide

More importantly, by farming out the bulk of its prospecting activities, the Client was able to deploy additional sales resources to support its expansion efforts into more competitive but potentially more lucrative markets such as retail and community banks, making it one of the largest payment processors in a segment with annual merchant transaction processing volume of $32.9 billion.

The Client

The Client is a renowned expert in commercial cleaning with an industry-wide reputation for its unbeatable service record. It has nearly 40,000 customers worldwide, providing services with state-of-the-art equipment and the most efficient chemicals available.

The Challenge

The Client applies superior cleaning techniques with one goal in mind: to revolutionize the commercial cleaning industry. Its extraordinary growth is attributed to its system-wide network of over 90 Support Centers in the United States, Australia, Asia, Canada and South America, with plans for further expansion. The Client specializes in hard floor care, carpet cleaning, window cleaning, pressure washing, and restroom sanitation and was ranked by Inc. Magazine in its prestigious Inc. 500 issue as one of the 500 fastest growing privately held companies in the United States. The Client continuously strives to develop new and innovative cleaning solutions to enhance the work environments of its customers. Due to its huge client base, the Client knew the time was right to further expand its territory. The Client wanted to continuously search for other businesses to which it could offer its services in line with its plans for further expansion. The Client needed a partner to increase its flexibility to cover a larger area. The three requirements were:
  • The prospect property be at least 1,500 square feet;
  • it needed cleaning service at least once a week; and
  • that hotels, restaurants and government offices be excluded.
The Client’s marketing arm needed to focus on closing deals, instead of spending a considerable amount of time researching industries and facilities that needed their services.

The Callbox Solution

For the Client’s needs, Callbox chose the most appropriate marketing tool — Appointment Setting. An Appointment Setting Campaign was launched in June. Two full-time callers targeted commercial and industrial offices found in San Francisco and Los Angeles, with the exception of hotels, restaurants and government offices. Since each appointment setting campaign is unique, Callbox assigns telemarketers that are best suited for individual programs. After discussing the strategic process with the Client, qualified meetings with specifically targeted and properly identified decision-makers were set up. Some of the information Callbox agents were tasked to collect and confirm are the following:
  • Company and property sizes
  • Number of employees
  • Frequency of cleaning needed
  • Estimated number of people who visit the office everyday
  • Satisfaction with current cleaning services company
Setting and confirmation of qualified appointments immediately followed after agents successfully generated interest in the Client’s cleaning services. A more thorough presentation of the Client’s full range of services, their customized service proposal, and details of the cleaning schedule and specific areas to be serviced were left to the Client’s marketing arm.

Results

Due to Callbox representatives’ excellent communication skills and persistence in the conduct of the appointment setting campaign, the Client expressed satisfaction with Callbox’s services and since then has a steady flow of qualified appointments for its sales team. As of the time of this writing, Client has renewed its contract ten consecutive times.
Callbox Cleans Up Expansion Clutter [CASE STUDY]

Callbox Cleans Up Expansion Clutter

/0 Comments/in /by

The Client

The Client is an established and a privately-owned Australian cleaning company based in Sydney which provides one-stop property services to more than 140 clients in 170 sites nationwide. Established in 1993, the Client has been providing a vast array of commercial cleaning solutions and other property services for various institutions such as schools, offices, large sites, hotels, motels, and data centres. With over 15 years of experience in the commercial cleaning industry, it progressively aims to enhance growth and cater to a larger number of customers country-wide. Its main objective is to provide a painless experience for its customers by providing self-audited and performance-managed service teams and going the extra mile to give their clients excellent commercial cleaning and property services.

The Challenge

  • Disparate market expansion strategies
  • Inadequate inside support
  • Unqualified prospects
Prior to working with Callbox, the Client had its own inside sales team that generated leads and closed sales for the company. Despite efforts to broaden its client base, the marketing team struggled to produce additional leads and obtain more appointments in order to carry on its plan of expansion. Upon taking a closer look at their inside sales activity, it became apparent that the primary strength of the sales staff was in making sales, not in prospecting. As a result, the Client found itself unable to identify qualified prospects and increase sales. The Client desired more customers that require at least three times a week of cleaning services. To achieve this goal, the Client determined that it needed peripheral support from a reliable lead generation company, and decided to outsource an outbound telemarketing service for the first time.

The Callbox Solution

The Client outsourced its lead generation and appointment setting requirements to Callbox because of the company’s well-known expertise in both fields. The Client’s objective was to strengthen its inside sales force and generate qualified appointments. To achieve these goals, Callbox launched a 22-day telemarketing campaign and assigned one of its top producing teams to handle the project. The team made sure that the following key elements were applied:

Calling Script

Callbox made sure that the representative used the appropriate script to identify the correct decision-makers and made a few script modifications each time the agent shifted the focus from one industry to another.

Closely-monitored and updated list

Callbox constantly updated the calling list by replacing the disconnected and no-answer numbers with new records.

More qualified prospects

Callbox ensured that the Client was given legitimate appointments by calling offices according to the Client’s target industries such as Transport, Medical/Dental, Accounting, Manufacturing, Engineering, Hospitality, and Solicitors in Sydney. The calling campaign officially took off and the chosen representative made calls four hours a day from 8 A.M to 5 P.M. excluding weekends.

Results

The month-long campaign ended with outstanding results for the Client. A total of 14 appointments were generated out of 2,383 calls. The Client was extremely satisfied with the number of qualified appointments, and in order to manage the increasing volume of leads and prospects, the Client informed Callbox of his intention to hire additional staff. Callbox was able to deliver the expected results and due to the success of the first campaign, the Client is set to embark on a new telemarketing project this October.

Leading Global Facilities Management Company Adopts Telemarketing after First Campaign with Callbox

/0 Comments/in /by

The Client

The Client is an Australia-based privately-owned facilities management company with corporate headquarters in Saginaw, Michigan and Chicago, Illinois. It provides integrated facilities management services including mechanical, electrical, fire service, hydraulic, janitorial services, landscaping, and pest control.

As of this year, the Client’s main company operates in six countries including the US, Canada, Australia, South Korea, India, and China, servicing over 300 million square feet of municipalities, schools, stadiums, offices, and various industrial and non-industrial facilities.

The Challenge

For many years, the Client had been relying on occasional email and inbound marketing efforts to generate sales opportunities. Despite its impressive portfolio of services, it often struggled to produce a sufficient number of sales leads to reach its production targets.

So, when the opportunity came up to evaluate other options for future growth, the Client knew their lead generation strategy had to change. Soon, it saw the potential in telemarketing. However, since it did not have the right toolset to implement a targeted cold calling campaign, it decided to take the outsourcing route for the first time, and ultimately chose Callbox.

Capturing Advertisers for Upscale Direct Mailer [CASE STUDY]

Capturing Advertisers for Upscale Direct Mailer

/0 Comments/in /by

The Client

The Client is a global print materials manufacturer leader and has been providing their customers with a complete range of systems and accessories for office and individual print presentation needs for more than 30 years.

The Challenge

The Client’s history narrates back to 1939 when they started as a niche printing enterprise in Georgia, USA. The business grew and progressed through a carousel of business activities around the globe for the succeeding years: asset acquisitions, manufacturing and development of new products and opening of new sites for offices and warehouses. In 2005, merger deals, sites expansion and newly manufactured printing products and solutions happened one after another, year after year. The rapid business growth apparently demanded for more tasks to be done, as well as utilization of advanced technology that would expedite operational processes in order to cater to bigger demands of the now extensive customer base. The print materials manufacturer leader came to realize that the new range of printing products and solutions now have advanced features and benefits that required holistic messaging to position to target customers, and that this new messaging would best be delivered with some marketing help from an expert lead generation provider. They were clear on the two things they needed assistance with: the management of their huge database and the setting of appointments for them.

The Callbox Solution

Database Profiling

Callbox provides holistic campaign management to its clients and that includes providing them the most accurate and well-managed database. Regardless of who owns the contact list, Callbox obliges itself to cleanse and profile the list before, during and until the campaign ends.
  • Data Cleansing – all contacts on the database are called to confirm every piece of business information
  • Deduplication – missing details are retrieved and necessary changes are applied to eliminate goneaways, duplicate entries, and contacts that fall outside the target criteria.
  • Data Verification – contact names and contact numbers are validated, as well as email addresses, postal codes, and other pertinent contact details.

Appointment Setting

Callbox’s Multi-Channel Lead Generation services did not only make it possible for the Client to manage their huge database but at the same time get their message to the right prospect at the proper time. The appointment setting campaign criteria included the following:
  • Prospect to answer only two (2) simple qualifying questions
  • Prospect should agree to receive sample products from the Client
  • Schedule a phone appointment with their global sales representatives.

Results

The Callbox team delivered an average of 5 appointments per day for two campaign periods, exceeding the Client’s target of 2 to 3 per day, and even closed deals with two large businesses. Even before the campaign, the Client expressed confidence and trust in Callbox as they employed 6 appointment setters for the initial campaign period and added 4 more upon renewal. For the Callbox team, they just did what they had to do to assist the Client: manage the database and set appointments, but for the Client, outstanding:
I didn’t get the chance while we were on the phone but I wanted to take a moment to make it clear that you and your team do an OUTSTANDING job for us and I am very happy and excited about their performance. Their sales exceed all other agents combined. Please encourage them to keep up the good work and remain motivated. I hope to visit you guys in the future.
I just wanted to touch base with you guys this morning. I want you to know that you did an excellent!! job on yesterday. (closed deal company) keep it going. KEEP PUSHING!
Management was very happy to see the way you guys stepped up production yesterday and they want it to continue as well as increase.
Excellent job on (closed deal company). Let’s keep the numbers coming!
The campaign has been running for more than three years now.

The Client

Situated in Chicago, Illinois, the Client offers its customers a variety of interactive advertising avenues such as web design, Flash animation, off-the-shelf custom content management systems, and Search Engine Optimization. They have served companies of different sizes from several industries.

The Challenge

The Client wanted to increase business leads through telemarketing their service offering as traffic to their website does not provide them a steady business flow. The Client offers SEO to their own customers but felt they needed supplemental support in promoting the said service to a wider market and reach other business firms outside their own locality. The Client also needed to gather information on the companies who wish to take on their SEO service.

The Callbox Solution

For this particular campaign, the Client sought Callbox’s help in researching companies and firms that are in need of and will benefit from their SEO service. Callbox launched a lead generation and appointment setting campaign which included calling the prospects of companies included in the Client’s list of targeted industries. Companies found to be interested in the Client’s SEO service underwent a pre-qualifying process with a Callbox agent to determine if each prospect is the type of customer sought after by the Client. The pre-qualifying questions were formulated both by Client and Callbox. Once determined to be a qualified sales lead, the prospect’s details were listed in the Client’s personal PipelineCRM account. The Client’s Account Sales Representative, then followed-up on the leads which were generated by Callbox and personally set appointments with the prospects.

The Results

The Callbox team successfully increased the Client’s customer share by providing a total of 87 sales-qualified leads and 106 marketing-qualified leads. The Client’s own team focused on closing business opportunities via setting appointments after Callbox qualified their prospects for them.

World-class Branding Consultancy gets Marketing Boost with Callbox [CASE STUDY]

World-class Branding Consultancy Gets Marketing Boost with Callbox

/0 Comments/in /by

The Client

The Client is the world’s largest brand consultancy with a network of 33 offices in 27 countries. Over the past 40 years, it has created and managed branding campaigns for some of the world’s most recognized brands including BMW, P&G, and McDonalds.

The Challenge

Part of the Client’s marketing strategy is conducting a series of events each year. One of those events was a free seminar workshop held in Singapore and Thailand, aimed at introducing its branding solutions to potential customers. To maximize the marketing value of this event, the Client looked for a marketing partner who could develop an effort that combined email and telemarketing to generate its desired number of registrations in a short span of time. The Client’s objective was two-fold:

  • To identify target contacts and send out email invites
  • To qualify prospects based on the Client’s pre-defined criteria

The Callbox Solution

Having worked with a number of big companies in Singapore and Thailand before, the Client had already compiled a database contacts which would be used in this campaign. The overall effort started in September 04, 2013 and involved two waves of marketing activity leading to the event.

The first was an email campaign to send out invitations containing details of the event, along with a short summary of the Client‘s profile and its services. Target contacts included C-level prospects from the top 200 local companies in Singapore and Thailand.

The second wave involved an outbound telemarketing outreach to qualify email respondents based on the Client’s qualification criteria. Qualified respondents were then forwarded to the Client’s team for confirmation and event registration. Callbox submitted weekly RSVP reports which allowed the Client to forecast the number of potential attendees and make adjustments to step up the campaign when necessary.

Results

Both campaigns were successful not only in terms of quantity (number of leads generated), but more importantly, in quality. The email blast generated an impressive response rate that a week prior to the campaign’s completion, the Client contracted another agent from Callbox to assist with the calls. In 22 days, the campaign generated a total of:

  • 39 Qualified Leads
  • 30 confirmed RSVPs (a whopping 76% RSVP rate)

Speaking for a Network Management and Security Company

/1 Comment/in /by

The Client

The Client is a privately held corporation and is a premier provider of IT management solutions for businesses. The firm’s diverse product line, offered in a wide variety of capacity and application-specific configurations, can be scaled to support virtually any corporate environment.

The Client’s customers span a wide range of industries, and include Fortune 500 global enterprises. Their customer base is Medium to Large Enterprise businesses with complex, heterogeneous IT environments with stringent uptime and performance requirements. Today, over 40 customers with more than 5,000 total locations rely upon their products.

The Challenge

With their infrastructure ready to safely accommodate “many more” clients, they want to markedly increase highly qualified interest in their IT products, to produce enough leads to “boost sales to the next level.”

The Callbox Solution

The Client consulted Callbox. After reviewing their sales and marketing operations, Callbox immediately proposed deploying the Appointment and Lead Generation Program to realize their goal. Callbox started with an “out of the box” telemarketing campaign that would generate qualified/potential leads and appointments for the client on a daily basis. This was done by locating prospects, profiling, identifying prospects, probing, qualifying targets, and pitching sales.

A script outline was developed which would serve as a guide for the agents to use in qualifying a prospect. It includes:

  • Introduction of the Client to the prospect, usually the IT or IP/Telephony Manager
  • Initial qualification of the prospect based on their interest in simplifying network and IT management including uptime objectives and hardware requirements.
  • Delivery of proper rebuttals when necessary
  • Callbox appointment setters then e-mail the Client’s marketing collateral and Statement of Qualifications to the prospect companies.
  • Appointments made with the qualified prospects are then delivered via Pipeline CRM, an online CRM tool developed by Callbox especially for clients with distributed offices and disparate territories to access their up-to-date sales pipeline. Managers can view the dashboard and sales pipeline of any sales agent, any region, or the whole campaign, at any time, from anywhere, and get an up-to-the- minute report on both closed sales and forecasting in any format [html, csv, pdf, xml].

Results

The sales generated as a direct result of the Callbox campaign exceeded projected revenues. Engaging Callbox to set appointments and generate leads effectively increased ROI and decreased transaction costs. It eliminated unnecessary costs incurred by the sales and marketing department by freeing them from calling dead ends and meeting unqualified clients.

The Client enjoyed the following benefits:

  • Savings in time and money
  • Increased productivity of in-house sales force
  • Higher conversion rate as a result of improved lead quality

This case study is another success story showing that companies from various industries and strata benefit from Callbox’s target marketing to increase profitability and growth without sacrificing the quality of customer service.

Callbox Successful Partnership with IT Heavyweight [CASE STUDY]

Callbox: Successful Partnership with IT Heavyweight

/0 Comments/in /by

The Client

The Client is a progressive internet and information technology company whose aim is to provide customers with the best range of products at the most competitive price. They offer domain name registration, web hosting, computer hardware, web design, computer networks and many more products to a large and diverse client base. They have clients from Global Fortune 50 companies to home users each getting the product and support they need to run their businesses. The Client also offers telecom services and SEO (search engine optimization). Their general offices are based in Dublin, Ireland. For this marketing project, the Client targeted companies in the market for an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system to integrate all data and processes of the organization into a unified system. The Client engaged the services of Callbox for the duration of 10 months.

The Challenge

The Client needed research on companies that had either current or future plans of ERP implementation. ERP system implementation is a complex process. Evaluation of the current company system and the actual tuning or upgrading takes a significant amount of time and depends on the size of the business, the scope of the change and willingness of the customer to take ownership of the project. A small project (e.g., a company of less than 100 staff) may be planned and delivered within 3 months; however, a large, multi-site or multi-country implementation may take years. Due to the complexity involved in the implementation, ERP is, without a doubt, expensive. While the benefits it provides to a particular business, especially large scale ones, spark interest in improving or changing their current system, it is the length of time involved that often discourages companies from proceeding with ERP implementation, and this is the most common reason for the Client’s lost sales. The Client therefore needed their current as well as prospect companies to understand that despite the fact that it is costly and involves a certain length of time, the benefits and advantages from the system will do much for their business in the medium and long term. With Callbox, the Client needed to generate and maintain the loyalty of existing customers but more importantly, find new ones. The Client needed to identify companies that needed any of the following:
  • Upgrading
  • Systems performance tuning
  • Entire change of current software system

The Callbox Solution

Callbox’s team went to work:

Profiled prospects for Client’s software services, specifically ERP

Significant business intelligence was gathered via phone research. After discussing the goals of the campaign and obtaining a list of prospects or existing clients, this list was surveyed using questions developed jointly by the Client and Callbox’s experienced researchers. Responses were then analyzed and presented along with the raw data.

Implemented a lead generation program

  • Cold calling companies that needed upgrading, systems performance tuning or entire system overhaul
  • Callbox agents adeptly setting phone or office appointments with C-Level executives, accounting managers, IT managers, and controllers assuring Client of a steady stream of business opportunities.
  • Providing Client with Pipeline CRM, a private online customer relationship management calendar including lead tracking and sales pipeline

Results

For the 10-month duration of the campaign, the Callbox team generated a total of 456 leads for the Client. The Client expressed satisfaction with Callbox by deciding to continue the campaigns after a one quarter break to digest their full pipeline.

The Client strives to be a single-source solution for companies’ telephone, video, and data communication needs. The Client engaged the services of Callbox.

The Challenge

The Client’s objective was to see an increase in the number of its sales leads so that it could service more customers in the areas where its facilities were located. The Client has its own sales representatives for each county but they felt they needed supplemental support in searching for leads and wanted these leads forwarded to their in-house sales representatives for follow-up. The Client searched for an outsourcing partner to help provide leads for its sales reps. Aside from this, the Client wanted to help their customers save on telecom bills by introducing and offering their affordable services as an alternative to other telecom providers.

The Callbox Solution

To achieve the Client’s objectives, Callbox carried out a lead generation and appointment setting campaign. Taking its cue from the Client’s instructions, Callbox agents adeptly qualified leads and set appointments and forwarded these to the Client’s sales representatives. The 3-seater campaign focused on targeting small to medium sized businesses and a few large ones. No particular number of leads was required by the Client, so Callbox, equipped with research tools and a diligent team of agents, made calls and delivered leads according to the needs of the company. The Callbox team made 160-200 calls per day for the Client. Callbox agents inquired about the current phone systems of target businesses, determined their level of contentment with their current telecom provider and asked them if they were interested in upgrading or adding features.

Results

Callbox generated a total of 303 leads for the Client during the 8-month campaign. Each seat successfully generated 1-2 appointments per day, 25-30 appointments per month for Client’s sales team. The Client took a break in January 2007 to digest its full pipeline and resumed partnership with Callbox. The Client ultimately profited from choosing Callbox as their outsource partner.
