Telemarketing the Easy Way with Skype
Running a telemarketing business is difficult.There is finding a hotel or office space, paying activation and installation fees for all the phone lines, renting all the phone sets, running employment ads and going through the hiring process for the people to do your telemarketing, trying to keep those people showing up and reading your script without pissing off the customers, delivering the goods, paying out the employees and hoping they will return after payday.
Imagine using Skype to telemarket instead of paying human workers to do it?
Imagine programing Skype to call a list of phone numbers. The phone number database could be purchased, or could be a simple numeric listing. Given today's restrictive telemarketing laws, you would likely have to still purchase a vetted database/list.
Imagine Skype calling out on a broadband line (no extra phone line costs), when someone answers it plays a pre-recorded sales pitch, and directs the customers to press "1" to speak with a sales associate to complete the order. People who press "1" to order are brought up on the computer and you take their sales order.
It's like running a telemarketing room, but with virtually no phone costs or employee costs if you can take the orders yourself. Telemarketing profits would shoot through the roof.
