Warning; It May Not Be Your Advertising Strategies That Are Broken

For most professional firms, (and many business to consumer firms and small businesses) the main reason for marketing and advertising is to get the phone to ring.

When your marketing and advertising is done well, namely you've chosen the right market, found out how to get your message across and delivered he right message...then BINGO! - you will be getting the calls.
How well the phone is handles is now the MOST IMPORTANT FACTOR that you have to consider.
You see, for many companies how well or how poorly the phone is handled is the single biggest reason why a company either grows or stays the same size.
Sadly, we have all experienced poor call handling in our lives, (whether call centres or people that just can't be bothered to answer our questions) and these people that answer the phones make a mockery of the successful advertising strategies that are in place.
These people are responsible for wasting thousands of pounds of advertising money. Simply by not being courteous, knowledgeable and on the ball, they're ripping off their own bosses by poor work.
How do we know?
Because Admeter allows bosses to record incoming calls so that they can be reviewed by the boss. It's often the simplest things that can be changed, (once you know it) that increases phone conversions.
Things such as;
  • Capturing prospect's details (email address, mobile and phone number)
  • Making sure you send relevant information out rather than relying on the prospect to download it themselves
  • Ensuring staff mention discounts, promotions, upsells and downsells where appropriate
When phone calls can be reviewed, graded and then training readdresses the glaring errors, it is not long before conversions start to double!
Imagine what it would mean if your calls doubled the number of clients you get. The only way you can be present at every phone call is ensuring that call recording takes place. In our mind, call recording is a fundamental sales training tool, (as well as the safeguard it provides of sorting out any "you said that" type of disputes) and everyone should have it.
When staff know calls are being recorded we find they instantly up their game. No-on wants to be caught out giving bad service. And with the call grader function, star performers can soon be highlighted and their actions shared as best practise.

So if you don't think it's your advertising strategies that are letting you down call Admeter today on this number...0800 158 8818 - we're guaranteed to be friendly, efficient and knowledgeable...otherwise the boss will find out!
