Why Use Telemarketing?

Due to the ups and downs in the building and construction sector, the industry has been difficult for many architects.  

Telemarketing for architects is very effective, as it generates new sales leads quickly.  By using an experienced telemarketing agency that is experienced in construction telemarketing, you can generate results quickly.

Architects are not sales people, as sales people are not architects. Lead generation is best left to sales people that know how to generate leads for architects.

The Selling Process

Telemarketing for architects is not complicated, but like many things, does need to follow a process.

The selling process is like a recipe, if it is not followed correctly then the results will not show as they should.

Indeed you may get lucky and catch someone at the right time, and this does happen, but this is luck rather than using telemarketing correctly.

Here is the process that telemarketing for architects needs to follow:

• Prospecting – This is the research stage to find out who to talk to and making an introduction.
• Fact Finding – This is an important part of the selling process.  Is there work now, if not when.
• Follow Up – Calling prospects back at the agreed time is important, otherwise you may miss your window.
• Closing – Whether you are looking for an RFQ to quote on (request for quote) or a meeting to arrange.

As time goes on, telemarketing for weeks or months will lead to hundreds of prospects being contacted.  Each will be at a different stage in the selling process.  Some prospects may have only been spoken to a few times, some maybe 20 over the course of a year.

Why Should You Use Telemarketing For Architects?

You are not sales people, you do not do cold calling and spend hours doing recalls to prospects. 

The reason is because it takes a special breed of character to sit on the phone all day and show the tenacity and commitment to lead generation.

You are good at designing and planning building projects; calling is best left to someone that has the time, experience and resource to handle hundreds of calls each day.

Building Industry Focus

The telemarketing can be focused on certain architectural projects (in a way that other forms of marketing cannot) in that specific projects can be targeted.

If you are targeting specific industry sectors (medical, sports, retail for example) or certain value projects (projects over 10m or over 100m for example) then telemarketing is a perfect tool for the job.  

If you want to target specific value projects, using leads such as those from ABI are very good, so you are only chasing the jobs you can handle.

Souring Good Quality Marketing Data

There are many data broker companies in the UK that can supply you with marketing data.

Each telemarketing company will require a database that you need called, whether this is hundreds or thousands of prospects.

Sourcing good quality marketing data is important.  If businesses have closed, or the contact has left then time is wasted.  Since time is money making the selling process as short as possible starts with the data you work with.
