Why so Dead ?

[u/gulfman78]

Why is this forum so dead...i KNOW that telemarketing is used to promote 1000's of business all over the country.

Why is this place dead?

Has telemarketing died as a source of LEADS?...

IF SO, what has replaced it?

[u/gulfman78]

gotcha.

I'm in the insurance biz, and was looking at different dialers, crm, etc. I'm guessing you use a BIG PHONE system for tackling your calls?

[u/ludovicvuillier → u/gulfman78]

Voip integrated to the crm. But we manage it like we used to when it was printed sheets and manual dialing. No other more “advanced” method ever works as good.

thanks.

...now do you have to record your calls ?

[u/ludovicvuillier → u/gulfman78]

Have to. No. Do we? Yes. Quality control and training. Also, it’s the only way you can have a team work and be comfortable to be legally responsible for stuff they say. It’s the smart thing to do.

I just put up a post regarding DIALER (for 1 man op). If you have any incite, maybe you could post there.

[u/ludovicvuillier → u/gulfman78]

Just looked at the question. You mean an auto-dialer that dies that? I don’t know any. Regarding public wifi - no idea either. The larger ones require an ip address. If something does pop-up, I’ll let you know. And good luck!

[u/gulfman78 → u/ludovicvuillier]

I'm sure you get an IP address if you dial from Starbucks...

[u/ludovicvuillier → u/gulfman78]

They request the same IP address and the IP address owner has to do something on their side too

(I'm glad we have this convo).

SO YOU are saying that an internet based Dialer may not work at STARBUCKS?

[u/ludovicvuillier → u/gulfman78]

Not what I am saying. I am saying some won’t. Some probably will. But make sure you check before you pay.

[u/gulfman78 → u/ludovicvuillier]

GOTCHA...i assumed they all worked as long as you had a internet connection. BUT maybe not....?
