Statement of Project Requirement Representatives The project will require a minimum of 1 dedicated representative 4 hours daily to facilitate the calling campaign. The average calls per rep daily would be around 100-150 calls using power dialing technology to facilitate a larger call acquisition rate. These numbers will fluctuate higher or lower depending on talk times and conversion rates. The representative would meet the following guidelines: 1. Have extensive experience in phone based sales with a minimum of 1 years experience in cold calling for financial based services. 2. Neutral English accent with clear speaking voice 3. Rebuttal and cross training 4. Excellent computer and comprehension skills.

About «Company»

Technology In order to facilitate the expedited processing of calls representatives will use Power dialers to speed up call acquisition. Dialers will clean prospect lists of any busy signals, voicemails, or disconnected telephone numbers. It will therefore feed only prospects physically on the phone to the representatives.

Objectives New s The main objective of this campaign is to use a cold prospect list provided to generate appointments for «Company»to meet with prospects and open a window of opportunity to acquire new s. Representatives will incorporate a 30-60 second captivating pitch to generate interest and create an environment for open discussion to create a potential for the creation of a qualified appointment.

Conversion The conversions of leads to appointments will mainly depend on the list quality provided, and with business calls the availability of respondents and capability to by gatekeepers. Based on the assessment of similar campaigns we have determined a minimum conversion rate based on conservative estimates of 5%. Our conservative estimates are based on statistical analysis of previous campaigns and are based on a current list of prospects that fit the service profile. After 2 weeks of campaign performance this conversion estimate can rise.

Branding The calls generated will brand the «Company» services and strengthen it to many prospects. For those looking for additional information an email should be provided. It is in our experience that an email providing well structured information marketing the target along with a telephone follow up greatly increases conversions and appointment potential. The email and direct information captured can be used for monthly newsletter campaigns as well as direct marketing efforts in the future leading to conversions not calculated in our initial numbers.

Technical Approach Formulating a script Script formulation will be imperative to a successful campaign. We can formulate the script completely, although it is recommended for client interaction and approval. In our experience long sales pitches of more then 3 minutes usually lose a captive prospect and take to much time to ister causing interaction time to fall short. The scripting needs to be specific and we encourage our representatives to go off script in the pitch phase to promote an interactive dialogue leading to a qualified appointment.

Script analysis will be conducted on an as required basis to assure higher client appointment closure and steady marketing progression.

Generating Rebuttals 6

With the help of your sales department and training sessions our staff will generate a rebuttal list and answers to assist customer acquisition. The rebuttal list will cover every aspect of the sales cycle from call acceptance to sales pitch interaction.

Mock Call Session In order to incorporate the right type of representative and preparation criteria, a mock call session is created with «First» «Last» before campaign launch. The mock call session provides great insight within a simulated call environment to allow for deeper pitch and rebuttal analysis. The session helps not only the client attain key points with regards to performance metrics but also allows the representative selected the opportunity for direct client interaction and instruction. The session is usually attended by the sales manager and new s executive in a conference call environment within an informal and collaborative approach of all parties to help facilitate the objective.

Soft Call Session Once the mock call session is approved by «First» «Last» the next stage is the process of generating some sample calls to prospects to test the representative, script, rebuttals, and prospect list in a live environment. This is usually done within a time frame required to generate enough call recordings for client analysis. Once the soft calls are completed the recordings are then analyzed by the sales manager and «First» «Last» to access performance and analyze all factors associated with the campaign. Once the soft call session is approved by «First» «Last» the campaign goes into the live phase.
