TELEMARKETING CASE STUDY 1
Client – Content Management System Provider
Project – Lead Generation
Activity
The client is an IT solutions provider selling an own-branded
content management system with a £25,000 price tag to NHS
Hospital Trusts, Primary Care Trusts, Mental Health Trusts, Ambulance
Trusts, Strategic Health Authorities, Foundation Trusts and Care
Trusts.
The client provided Radical Cat with a virtual web-based Goldmine
database which we populated with contact data for all the NHS organizations
in England (approx 800). Over a five month period one full time
and sometimes two full time telemarketers called Communications
Managers and IT Managers of all the Trusts. We generated hot leads
which the client’s sales consultants took over from us to
turn those leads into meetings. For two of these months one of our
telemarketers worked from our client’s offices in West London
at the client’s request in order to work very closely with
the in-house sales team, and administrative and technical staff.
Once a week on Friday we had a conference call to review, evaluate
and grade all the new leads generated that week and all the previously
generated leads that were in the process of moving from warm to
hot.
Results
Every week we generated on average 15 new warm and hot leads for
the client, from which the client generated and continues to generate
a considerable volume of appointments and sales. To date over £200,000
of sales has been achieved with a telemarketing spend of approximately
£21,000. In addition the client now has in-depth knowledge
of the buying habits, purchasing position and purchasing timeframes
(relative to CMS procurement) of all 800 (approx) Trusts, including
contact details for all key decision-making personnel, giving our
client enormous competitive advantage in the CMS marketplace.
TELEMARKETING CASE STUDY 2
Client – Office Furniture
Project – Appointment Making
Activity
The client is a high-end office furniture dealer selling office
furniture to corporate clients. The client provided us with a link
to their ACT database, which we populated with contact data for
companies with plans to relocate offices. We sourced relevant data
from a lead generation company specializing in market intelligence
regarding companies moving location. For twelve months one telemarketer
worked full time cold-calling hundreds of facilities managers a
week to generate appointments for the sales consultants to meet
with them.
Results
Radical Cat populated the database with several thousand corporate
contacts which included invaluable market intelligence gleaned from
our cold-calling activities.
We achieved approximately 10 high quality appointments per month,
about 120 over the year, many with large corporates. We also telephoned
facilities managers and invited them to a ‘Workplace’
seminar at Microsoft headquarters in Reading. We booked approximately
30 delegates on the seminar and made follow up calls after the event
where we gathered more market intelligence and capitalized on the
interest generated.
The pinnacle of our achievement was making an appointment with
the facilities manager of a famous university that resulted in a
£400,000 plus sale.
