Startup Costs For Telesales

[WinoBlues]

Uneducated Telesales question.

A lone wolf just starting out. How many out bound calls, on average, is she going to make a day?

 

[Rob Lion]

When getting started in telesales (when already contracted with a company that is set up for it), what type of leads to purchase? How many per week?

My understanding is that the closing ratio is lower with telesales as opposed to face-to-face. That's why I'm assuming that you need more leads.

Can this been done without a fancy dialing system? Are there any affordable dialing systems that could be used effectively?

Doing telesales without proper guidance and set up is the quickest way of ending up back at walmart being a door greeter. If you're dead broke go to Assurance or Northstar, if you have money for leads were talking a minimum of 1500 a month for leads for 3 months, plus whatever your living expenses are I'd look at Digital BGA . There's your answer lol

What part?

Why would anyone sell leads at cost?

Why sell at cost???
Because they make more money on the override coming from your success...
Then why would anyone give away leads for free??..
Because they cut your commission down enough so they can make money on the bigger override...
Seems like Business 101 to me.

I agree.

Uplines double dipping is the biggest scam not talked about in the industry.

IMOs make money when you make a sale, and They make money when they sell you leads...

Some IMOs even have agreements with lead vendors to get a kickback on agents they refer.

It's slimey, and MOST IMOs do it.

The ones I've seen have high startup costs

Again, if you're looking for something cheap it will end up costing you more in the end.

This mentality is why most agents fail out of the industry.

No business sense.

Assurance puts agents on LOA contracts.

Are you recommending that the OP do that?

Who cares about shit like that, when you're broke hungry and wanting to learn the telesales game.
