Many health care specialties are finding that telemarketing to gain new clients is a cost effective way to get their name out there and provide services that people need.
Some of the common telemarketing campaigns for the health care industry are
- Dental cleanings
- Chiropractor visits
- Allergists
- Home medical equipment (such as diabetes testers)
The process for each of these campaigns will vary based on what is required. Here are a few ideas things to think about before getting a telemarketing campaign started:
- Don’t over think your lead generation campaign – Short to the point and asking/verifying the fewest pieces of information possible are the way to success
- The beginning of each call should contain a brief greeting, the reason for the call and what is in it for the prospect, within 25-30 seconds.
- 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.
- Remember the goal of a call is to generate interest, get basic information and establish a follow up contact, NOT to sell your product or service. Keep it as simple as possible.
