Business organizations in the United Kingdom have been swarmed with a lot of positive reviews and comments about outsourcing. But, they are also well aware of the risks involved. Contacting a third party service provider is not at all a walk in the party as what everyone has been aspiring. Even if it is flocked with a Santa Claus list of benefits-low cost, luxurious time in core functions, access to skills- the negative attributes of this activity will never be buried- inferior practices and methods, language barriers, wrong call scripts and so on.

There are only three mistakes that any firm in Great Britain can commit with regards to outsourcing. First is falling for a low-priced, second-rate call centre. Second refers to putting trust to a costly campaign but has produced menial output. Third is to lose the opportunity of being served by a reliable company. Neither of the three is good, but the first and third situations are lesser evil. But still, choosing the lesser evil is still evil.
Instead of giving you the often prostituted competencies of a B2B telemarketing all centre, it is good to feed you with its different categories. So, what are these? They are enumerated in the following list:

1. Flawed-Telemarketing-List Ltd. This class of contact centre has a history of using inaccurate leads list. It does not care whether it is using old business database that contains some non-existing accounts nor even bothered by the thought that several phone numbers are faced out. Not daunted by this reality, it still continues the campaign until it produces only a small number of qualified sales leads when the deadline comes.

2. Mismanagement Corporation. A telemarketing firm that does not mind crafting employee development programs is a mismanagement corporation. They do not evaluate the agents' performance and do not care if the latter do not reach their quota. The call scripts that telemarketers use are not refined.

3. Incompetent-Employee Inc. On the other hand, these service providers are eager to hire trainees who are incompetent upfront. Their agents are devoid of selling and marketing skills, unruly, disobedient and slow learners. It is a stroke of luck if this company can recruit few competitive people.

4. Slothful-Technology Group. If the problems of the three preceding firms are their human resources, this fourth kind has an obsolete, dying technological application. They live in frugality which is why they wear deep burrows in their foreheads in acquiring the advance equipments highly needed to run a fast and accurate telemarketing services.

5. Cheap-and-Mediocre Company. This call centre is the combination of all the first four types with the addition that it comes as a cheap engagement. Therefore, their clients pay low costs and, in return, they provide good-for-nothing services. “You get what you pay for,” is their favorite quote.
6. Expensive-yet-low-class Proprietorship. This one is almost the same with the fifth class, except that they differ in price tag. As opposed to the cost-savings (and second-rate performance), this business entity swaggers in demanding their clients with expensive packages, but can only deliver below par results.

7. Exceptional-Costly Holdings. On the other hand, this service provider is the exact antithesis of the first five types. However, companies in the United Kingdom may request for an aspirin because of the costly payment that it contracts. As a result, small-and-medium businesses will not be able to access its services.

8. The Ideal Partnership. So, here we come at last, to the perfect fit for all companies. This telemarketing firm is truly reputable and loved by the clients for many reasons. First, it updates its business database daily, making sure that every change in business contact information is captured. Second, it has a powerful management that empowers employees and constantly enhances practices, even if those are already good. Third, it has a tight screening process, to give assurance that every telemarketer is not only skilled and dedicated, but also manifests exemplary conduct in and out of the workplace. Lastly, it aims to conduct its campaigns with high speed and precision, which is why it does not hesitate in acquiring in the front and specialized call centre applications.

So, which service provider do you want to be with? I hope that you will be able to pick the right one in order to achieve your marketing goals. Get your firm a credible partner in telemarketing and start your dream B2B lead generation.
