You may very well not want any of that, but the thing basically pays for itself if you consider the amount of work time you could be losing to a telemarketer, even if it's only 10 hours a week. That said, not everyone cares. Anyone managing telemarketers would find the reporting to be a big deal.
Like I said, for folks that are super price sensitive, salesdialers is as reasonable of a product as you're likely to find. It does what it does well enough. That said, for folks that do want to know how much time their telemarketers are spending in between calls or what the dispositions of each calls are, it matters. When I pay my telemarketers I base it off the productivity time, not just the clock. If they login at 10 and end up needing to take a 15 minute break, while I wouldn't like it, at least this way I know what they're doing and I only pay them for the time they spend waiting for calls or on them, not for time they spend on pause. I can also compare the productivity from day to day, do split testing on different lists, different scripts, and really quantify what's going on with a campaign. There are a number of much more sophisticated things you can do with this type of a dialing platform to really allow you to manage your telemarketing campaign. If all you want to do is load the county to call, then all of that isn't of much value to you.
To be perfectly candid, because it's a complete waste of my time and money. I did free data give aways on here a few times just to be nice because I think the forum has been great to me and I thought it was a nice way to help folks out. In addition to that, I had a free list giveaway on my telemarketing scripts site. That I did because I wanted to give folks a reason to do business with me. Most of the folks that filled out the form for the free list wouldn't even respond to a phone call/email asking them a question about their free list so we could get it out to them. The folks that want free trials are usually not going to commit. If I take a look at the time and hard cost associated with giving away those lists the ROI is abysmal. That's 100% fine, I try things like that to see if they work and in this case it was a dud, but I'm not signing up for it again. It takes time to get folks setup on the dialer, to train them, and there is a hard cost associated with the number of calls they make. My product is fantastic. If folks want to sign up, then great. If folks don't want to sign up because they don't need it and/or think they can get a better deal elsewhere, then great. For folks that are serious about hiring a telemarketer and want to know what's going on when their telemarketers are calling, my platform is probably the best solution out there. I'll build the first campaign for them and train either them or their telemarketer(s) on how to use it with no setup fee. That in and of itself is a big deal.
If my friends at mojo believe that the best way for them to get customers is to give away a 14 day trial, then I think that's great for the consumer. I've even referred folks over there. Give their platform a try for free and if you like it, you'll love mine.
