Need Auto Dialer Info

[myinsurebiz]

Skype sucks . . .

I wouldn't use it for business if you paid me too . . .

Tom

This doesn't really pertain to the original question but wanted to throw it our for anyone thinking about using skype to run a dialer. Skype is starting to limit the number of outgoing calls to around 50/day. Any calls after that will have a connect and a per minute fee. Found that out today while researching voicents autodialer products

On average a telemarketer should get from one to three health or life or DI leads per hour when calling to small biz. Even with one lead at $12 it has been my experience that it is a higher quality lead than an internet lead... but your experience will probably be different on that (and it will also depend on your script, how well you train your marketer, and, of course) the demographic you call (I never get any interest from hair salons, nail salons, landscapers, and restaurants.))

Assuming you get someone with zero tele-experience, the key is in training them and rehearsing with them over and over the script. I don't have them do much in the way of qualification or have anyone set appointments for me. I call lead back. They may not be a good risk for health, but they might be one for life or LTC, buy-sell, or maybe an annuity. I know how to "find the pain." I just want a tele-gal (I've never had a guy as a caller) to find me a spark of interest in clients seeking financial protection from risk. I'll do the rest.

I posted this in Another forum, But it is very fitting


"Asteriskwin32" (GOOGLE IT) PBX is an OpenSource program. The Novice computer user can set it up themselves, Or the Tech-savy 15 year old son or neighbor, Only thing out of pocket is the phone lines and an old PC. IP or ISDN lines work great.
Follow simple direction and set it up to do this himself with Built in IVR.
I understand the need, But in times like this, Free always is better. My time is Invaluable, But if I can work an extra 20 hours to save a few thousand dollars, then I feel it's worth it!
A complete system set up and running is 1-5k, And those are on the cheap side. You can do your own AutoDialing and Live Transfers!
We use VOIP!

We have 5 women that set on the other end, Answer once a potential client has picked up and bust into their scripts. We call Businesses for Health and Commercial. They love it, the don't get the finger blisters from pushing buttons all day!
We pay them 10 Dollars per confirmed call back appt. They average 20-30 an hour. But, Getting the Lists Also costs some money. So average lead costs to do this is about 12-13 a lead. But If you went and bought the leads, Commercial leads run anywhere from 10-50 dollars a lead. So we are making money doing this!

jparker,
this sounds interesting. are you using softphones? i'd like to talk to you about your setup.

Is anyone else using this system? Is it stable? True functionality?

I can't imagine buying hardware to broadcast right now when you can just buy the dial time instead. Let me know if you need help to get set up.

i built several. very stable, completely functional and a whole lot more work than the previous poster and asterisk.org makes in sound. win is right, imo, just buy time. you will probably be buying time on an asterisk server anyways.

So true Brad - so true.

I mean if someone has their own list and wants to run their own show - they can get 2 cents per minute dialing . . .

There is no DNC list for businesses.

Actualy about 30% of Business Numbers listed are on the federal DNC list. Many small business these days are using their home phone or personal cell phones to do business thus they can have it both ways. You could argue the point if you were fined but why bother with the hassle . Just scrub the list.

A dialer allows you to either dial more already known to be interested or can be used to pre-qual them...If interested, they can talk to you now or leave a message to call you back later, all this happening while you go about your day, when you see a specific number on your ID, you know it's a transfer from the dialer!

I run those campaigns 7 days a week, if I can help using your list or mine, let me know!...

If any of you are planning on auto dialing with a pre recorded message PLEASE be careful!!! Make sure you get as much dialing in as you can before Sept 1st. After that date its all over! You will need to think about switching over to something like this.... Hosted Predictive Dialer | VoIP Call Center Solution which is Hosted predictive dialing at that point and hire yourself a good TM or 2 to handle your dialing for you. If anyone needs info on hosted dialers please let me know, I am always glad to help people get their cold calling compliant and productive!
