Title: worth hiring a telesales girl, for more business
Post by: dunny19 on August 03, 2004, 09:53:42 pm

just wondering how many of you hire a telesales girl /wife to ring around business for work,

what sort of results do you get, 1 in 20, 1 in 30 etc.etc.

is this your main source of leads?

or is it a load of hassle

cheers

Have hired 3 telesales girls in the last few years. Had good success with 2 but no result with one( possibly a lesbian !!)
Then the wife found out about my successes and stopped me doing it anymore ;D
Seriously, a pal of mine in the same business, has full time telesales girl and has non stop work for 3 CC's.............so it must work :o

I do it once a week.

However my advise is do it yourself to start with.

You learn a new skill and find out what the problems are then if your Tele Sales staff dont get results you are entiled to critisise.

We usually manage about two jobs an hour.

I use a chap who also works for Zenith Windows.

Dont forget to check that the numbers are not registered with telephone prefrence service if they are and you phone you could be fined £5000 or go to gaol and not pass go.
