THE EMERGING ROLE OF TELESALES NOT YESTERDAY'S 'APPOINTMENT SETTER’
CJ Hauptmeier
• Many B2B marketers still treat “Teleprospecting” as a standalone tactic or channel and not as the tie that binds all other go to market approaches
• Typical misuse of Teleprospecting:• Appointment Setting ONLY• Event Recruitment ONLY• Lead Generation/Qualification ONLY• License Renewals ONLY
• Modern Day Inside Representation are able and adaptive
• Appointment Setting and Lead Qualification
• Nurturing Longer Term Prospects• Content Concierge• Data Hygiene• Market Intelligence and Campaign
Feedback• Connection with Sales
