CONVERSATIONAL SOFT SELL™ (CSS™) LEAD GENERATION PROGRAM
 COMPREHENSIVE VERSION

Telemarketing Institute (TII) offers two versions of its Conversational Soft Sell™ Lead Generation Program -  a COMPREHENSIVE and a CONDENSED Version. 

COMPREHENSIVE CSS™ LEAD GENERATION VERSION REQUIRES 4 CONTACTS

TII offers its COMPREHENSIVE Version of its trademarked Four Contact Conversational Soft Sell™ Lead Generation Program because statistics show that 70% of all buying decisions are made after the 5^th Contact.  In this version, we conduct the first 4 Contacts on behalf of our client and then transition the qualified leads to our client for their sales reps to do the Contact 5 follow up.   This version is designed for firms that have the following strategic marketing criteria:

• are an unknown company to the targeted market

• are introducing a new product/service

• are testing a new market/s

• have a product or service that is difficult to explain in a short 3 to 5 minute phone call

• are targeting Decision Makers who are hard to reach, i.e., people in the medical profession

• are targeting a C-Level Decision Maker, especially if the company being called is large

THE SERIES OF LEAD GENERATION CONTACTS IN THE COMPREHENSIVE VERSION

The following is a summary of the series of contacts in the four Contact CSS™ Lead Generation Program. The CSS™ Contacts are based on the statistic that 70% of all buying decisions are made after the 5^th Contact.

 CONTACT 1 – Lead Generation ---Verification Call/Voice Mail Message

We first secure/verify the Decision Maker’s (DM’s) name/title/verify address, e-mail, fax # - and ask permission to fax.    When closing, we ask to be put into the DM’s Voice Mail and say we are going to send a Note of Introduction and Guide and appreciate them giving this their consideration. We give them an 800 number to call to decline the receipt of the fax.

 CONTACT 2 – Note of Introduction and Reference Guide

The CSS^TM Note of Introduction introduces the company and a top executive.  It gives a strong benefit statement about what is being offered for the DM’s consideration.  The note then lets the DM know a call will follow to ask permission to e-mail detailed information and gives the DM an 800 # to call to decline the receipt of the call.

 The Reference Guide is in newsletter format.  In the left column is the company background and what sets their product/service apart from their competition.  On the right is a description of what is being offered for consideration.
