Generating leads of small businesses that need to save on merchant processing costs is a staple of the telemarketing. These campaigns can vary widely in scope from generating leads that reflect interest with only a couple verification questions, to long forms the telemarketer needs to fill out before submitting a lead. The more information that needs to be gathered the more qualified the data being called needs to be to ensure a high conversion rate.
Most merchant processing leads being gathered are basically:
- Business credit card processing leads
The specifics of each merchant processing lead generating campaign will vary based on each client’s needs. Here are a few items to consider before starting a telemarketing lead generation campaign:
- Make the campaign simple- get to the point and generate a lead, don’t try to sell on the first call.
- Start off with a short greeting and explain the reason for the call within the first 30 seconds or risk losing the prospect’s attention.
- Instead of asking for new info first ask simple verification questions like “I show your business name as…” This will allow the telemarketer to build trust with the prospect.
- Write out rebuttals that the telemarketer might need to handle common objections. Think of these as opportunities to give more information as well as steer the conversation back to generating a lead.
