Key Telemarketing Trends
However, despite the obvious superiority of communication through instant messengers, telemarketing in Ukraine is experiencing a new wave of popularity. Due to the fact that most companies communicate with customers through Viber, Telegram, the level of "information noise" associated with calls is gradually falling. Customers have a legitimate feeling that if they are phoned with a commercial or advertising offer, then the caller is interested in a positive response from the client and his opinion. Therefore, subscribers with great desire and interest get acquainted with the information by phone.
There are two striking trends in the development of telemarketing:
Technological component. Many call centers reduce the cost of operators by introducing automatic dialer systems in the contact center. They help to conduct large-scale calls and connect operators only when the subscriber picks up the phone. As a result, the productivity of call center operators increases, and dialers become 2.5-3 times larger. In addition, systems include biometric voice recognition and speech analytics. As a result, it is possible to determine the emotional state of the subscriber and build a dialogue based on this.
New methods of building a conversation. Reality dictates that successful sales require a new supply of material. If before customers could be attracted with "chips": the goods come at a discount, we offer free shipping, take advantage of the best offer. Today, customers come in for lively, warm, human communication, the so-called storytelling. The dialogue is based on a story about the company's activities, questions to customers about their needs and requests, and then, based on the responses received, the manager proceeds to the commercial proposal.
The main requirements for telemarketing are as follows:
- Messages to customers should be as personalized as possible;
- Managers should be guided in customer order histories;
- scripting scheme should be based, first of all, on the identification of needs.
