Telemarketing Call Management
Article Abstract:
Proper management is needed for a telemarketing program to reach its full potential. The Call Management System (CMS) is recommended. For any system to work, it is important that the largest number of calls reach the marketing center and that the number of calls by customers which might be delayed be minimized. A diagram is presented to illustrate the way calls are directed through the system. An optimum number of trunk lines are needed. A good estimate is 1.4 trunk lines per customer specialist. Case studies using General Electric and Executive Travel are used to illustrate the points made. Overall benefits of CMS include: higher employee morale, fewer missed sales, reduced personnel, better scheduling, clearer picture of trunk line needs and better resource allocation. Charts and graphs illustrate content.
