1. The Audit and Review
- Back to top
Teleconcepts provides a comprehensive audit and review
of your existing outbound, B to B call center. The objective of an audit
and review is to assess your current tele-sales (or inbound sales) program
and determine what’s working, what’s not and what can be done to get the
best results possible.
Not unlike a physical or check up you might have with your doctor or
dentist, Teleconcepts reviews the core elements that make up your tele-sales
program. It is designed to evaluate your call center from top to bottom.
Ultimately it seeks to help you identify opportunities, leverage your
strengths and minimize or eliminate your weaknesses. In short, the Audit
and Review helps you to get better sales results by becoming more
effective.
The audit and review provides extensive analysis in six key areas:
1. Strategic Review – a full examination of your current tele-sales
strategy including an assessment of product strategies, target market
strategies, channel distribution strategies, approach to market, marketing
support etc.
2. Human Resources Review – which includes an evaluation of your current
recruitment, selection and hiring practices; compensation assessment;
training evaluation; a skills analysis of your sales reps, supervisors and
managers; career path strategies; review of coaching and development
programs; assessment of motivation and incentive strategies
3. Call Management Review –fully examines both the strategic and tactical
nature of calls made or taken; evaluation of the sales cycle; assessment
of lead generation and lead management strategies; review of customer
management strategies; sales process assessment including pre-call
planning, opening statements, voice mail strategies, needs analysis,
presentation skills, objections handling, closing and advancing the sale;
assesses overall effectiveness of the sales reps
4. Information Systems Review –this portion of the A&R reviews and
evaluates current sales results including ratio analysis covering
productivity, performance and profitability; comparative review with
similar companies and industries is provide for baseline measurement
5. Marketing Integration Review – examines how tele-sales is integrated
with current marketing and sales efforts (for example, use of direct mail,
fax, and e-mail in marketing; the relationships between inside and outside
sales, if applicable; etc.)
6. Environmental Review – assess the layout and design of your call center
to determine the most effective and productive means of handing workflow

2. The
Tele-Sales Start Up - Back to
top
Teleconcepts provides comprehensive consulting for
businesses seeking to create and implement an outbound tele-sales program.
The objective of the tele-sales start up is to help you effectively and
efficiently plan and implement your outbound tele-sales program or your
proactive inbound selling program.
Using the same criteria as the Audit and Review, Teleconcepts will work
with you in six key areas:
1. Strategic Planning – assist in developing the most effective strategy
(e.g., telemarketing vs. tele-sales vs. tele-account management or
perhaps, cross selling or up selling on inbound calls) to achieve your
stated goals and objective; includes market assessment; account reviews,
distribution strategies; approach to the market
2. Human Resource Planning- extensive assessment and planning to determine
recruitment, selection and hiring processes; training requirements;
supervisory and management needs; compensations and incentive programs;
coaching strategies; career path development; quarterly and annual review
process
3. Call Management Planning- assesses the most effective approach to
managing a call including the specific strategies (e.g., lead generation
or account management) and the specific tactics (skills sets required to
accomplish the strategy); the use of jobs aids such as scripts, call
guides and free form etc.
4. Information Systems Planning – determines the key performance
indicators required to assess the effectiveness of your strategy including
productivity, performance and profitability; key ratios
5. Market Integration Planning –determines the marketing support required
(if any) including e-mail, fax and direct mail; also integration with key
departments such as field sales, operations, channel distributors etc.

3. Coaching
- Back to top
Teleconcepts provide highly comprehensive coaching services to tele-sales
reps, sales managers and sales executives.
Recognizing that tele-sales is still a relatively new and burgeoning
strategy, that situations and events change frequently, and that
organizations need ongoing assistance to implement new techniques, the
objective of coaching is to keep companies and individuals focused on
getting tasks completed, on honing and improving skills, and on providing
feedback and insights on strategies and tactics.
Or, in the words of one executive, “…the coaching helps act as a
corporate conscience …so that our goals and objectives are met on time and
on budget…”
Coaching includes site visits with one to one interaction but also
includes ongoing dialogue via telephone interviews and e-mail
correspondence.
