5 Reasons Why Telemarketing Must Be Part of Your International Marketing Campaign

Generates leads.

In the age of apps, emails and social media, it’s easy to forget the power of the human to human conversation. However, speaking with a decision maker, identifying problems you can solve, and setting the stage for future communication, can all lead to new business. There’s no reason to assume it’s a different story when targeting overseas markets. Our multi-language speaking telemarketers have found that business is the loudest language, and the principles of lead generation ring true around the globe.

Enhances data. GDPR permission.

Poorly researched data is the quickest route to an unsuccessful campaign. Telemarketing is an effective way to identify decision makers and to qualify them accordingly. Furthermore, permission acquisition calls can all help towards remaining GDPR compliant. Before you start calling however, make sure you purchase your data from a reputable source, you recognise and acknowledge GDPR, and you are sure the companies you are contacting are not registered on their local version of the C/TPS register.

Market research.

Are you planning to target a new market but you want to test before committing? How does 100 conversations with potential customers sound as a starting point? Picking up the phone can provide you with this and more. It also opens the door for future business prospects.
