Pick the Right KPI for your BPO Telemarketing

Inbound & Outbound B2C Telemarketing with the largest call center in the Philippines

Magellan Solutions can organically develop and expand your reach to different consumer markets. This is done by directly talking to your customers.

Through high quality B2C telemarketing services, we can do the following: 

• Order entry
• Credit card processing
• Fulfillment
• Customer survey

Furthermore, our agents establish and build consumer trust. We also identify needs and respond with targeted offers. Interactive voice response (IVR) on inbound telemarketing calls enables your CRM strategy by identifying customers and prospects.

B2C telemarketing is very different to B2B telemarketing and requires a very different approach. From scripting, data sourcing, initial pitch, evaluation of interest, and closing of deals.

If B2C deals with the usual customers, B2B is on a much bigger scale. The customers are no longer those who scroll through their phones and add to their carts. Instead our inhouse call center in the Philippines caters to bosses and business partners.

BPO Manila Philippines on creating partners with B2B telemarketing

B2B Telemarketing is designed to increase brand awareness. It discovers new leads and opportunities via direct conversations with potential customers. Telemarketing has an outbound cold calling in common with Telesales. But each call can have multiple purposes:

• Lead generation, qualification, and segmentation
• Appointment setting for inside sales teams
• Market research and polling
• Customer feedback and retention
• Turning leads into opportunities

With the friendly culture and excellent English skills, bpo workers in the Philippines are natural telemarketers. This makes us famous for being the best hubs for offshore call centers across a range of industries.

• Financial services, credit cards, and insurance
• Utilities
• Telecommunications and internet service providers
• FMCG and wine sales
• Charities and fundraising
• Marketing research and lead generation

Is telesales expensive because of the target customer?

B2B Telesales is much more focused than B2B Telemarketing. 

Telesales professionals, at least in principle, receive qualified sales leads from telemarketers and other marketing channels. They then proceed to close them with outbound calls. The most effective telesales people are experienced telemarketers. They can move leads down the sales funnel towards a sale as needed.

Now, are telemarketers for telesales expensive?

Many factors go into telemarketing services prices. Furthermore, they can fluctuate a great deal. While getting quotes from multiple providers is the best way to compare, the following figures provide a general idea:

• Expect to pay anywhere from $10 to $70 per hour, with an average price of around $25 to $50 per hour.
• In-house teams may charge by the lead. This results in a higher cost at around $35 to $60 per lead.

Once paid, you gain so much more:

Rule compliance

A growing number of rules and regulations govern telemarketing calls. By using contact center services philippines, you are spared the troubles of legal adherence.

Flexibility and scalability

Magellan Solutions can easily keep up with increased telemarketing demand. Whether it is due to seasonal or permanent growth. In addition, businesses gain flexibility by using outbound telemarketers. Our agents work in multiple shift operations and in multiple languages.

Minimal risk

If your in-house outbound call center doesn’t meet expectation, you wasted your money. But by outsourcing to the biggest call center company in the Philippines, you can cancel or choose not to renew an underperforming agreement.

Focus on your core job

Hiring outsourced outbound call centers frees up precious time and resources. You can focus on developing your business’ strengths and its overall goals.

Cold calls with the warmest experience

Cold calling is one of the most effective tools for breaking into an account and getting a hold of a prospect. It provides a personal experience. Moreso, it can be the start of developing a strong business relationship.

When you think of cold calling, you think of a boring phone call. But it is more than just a sales rep trying to push their product or service. Cold calling often gets a bad wrap. It is time for a better call center experience philippines.

Here are the dos and don’ts of modern-day cold calling for call center ph:

Once your telemarketer from the biggest call center company in the Philippines understood everything above, then all that’s left is closing the deal.

Key Performance Indicators (KPI’s) In Less Than 10 Ways

The marketing strategy goes hand-in-hand with the b2b outbound telemarketing strategies. Not only does the sales team need to know what platform/methods are best for selling. But they also need to know the goals for the products or services. 

Having constant communication with the marketing team will help both teams align their strategies to work cohesively. 

Is it succeeding? Is it failing? Are there issues with the script, the leads, or the agents? These are questions we need to ask every day. 

What better way than to answer these in less than 10 KPI’s by bpo companies in metro manila:

1. Sales Per Hour (SPH): 

Defined as the number of sales made divided by the number of hours. 

This is common for telemarketing companies to use to measure success. The number of sales in an hour is a common question that we hear multiple times throughout the day. This is an important KPI. Magellan Solutions strive to get the most sales each hour so we can be successful.

2. Contacts Per Hour (CPH)

This is simply how many contacts the agents are able to make in each hour (total contacts divided by total hours). This is important because if the agents are not contacting customers, they certainly cannot sell to them.

CPH can be evaluated in many ways. 

We check if there are certain hours throughout the day that peak for reaching contacts. We also determine if it’s a particular day. Once done identifying the best time for contacting customers, it provides an advantage in setting the team up for generating more sales.

If the CPH is low, we dig into the data and figure out why. We consider if the list is good or if there are potentially a lot of bad numbers. 

3. Conversion Rate

A calculation made up of the number of opportunities the agents spoke with that turned into a sale (total contacts divided by total sales). Regardless of how many hours are spent on a campaign, this helps evaluate how the team is doing when they reach a decision-maker. This is important to know on many levels.

If the conversion rate is low, it’s important to evaluate why.

Is the script good or could it use some fine-tuning?

Are the agents using appropriate rebuttals?

Are the agents calling into the right market?

On the flip side, although we all desire the highest conversion rate possible, we have to be conscientious of the quality of sales generated. It’s important that we always make good and high-quality sales rather than just quantitative.

4. Average Talk Time (ATT)

The average time that an agent is talking on the phone to the customer. This is important to telemarketing companies. It helps identify areas of opportunity. If the ATT is high, the script may weigh the calls down. There could also be an opportunity to do some coaching with the agent. 

Perhaps a reminder is needed to make sure the agents are being as clear as possible with the customer. If it’s the script bogging down the calls, it’s time to re-evaluate the script and adjust as needed.

5. Average Wrap Time (AWT)

This is the average time it takes an agent to wrap up a call. Some sales campaigns don’t have much wrap time because most of the information is done while talking with the customer. At times there is extra information that needs to be recorded from the call before it’s completely done.

This metric is important to evaluate as it’s good to understand how long it takes for agents to wrap up a call. 

Are there some agents that are not being efficient after the call to get to the next one? Is the task of wrapping the call or record cumbersome and needs to be re-assessed? Is there a way to streamline the wrap-up to improve the AWT? 

The more time the agents are actually talking on the phones, the better chance of improving the SPH.

6. Dials Per Hours (DPH)

Total dials divided by the number of total hours is the definition of this metric. It is vital that we make sure the agent is dialing as efficiently as possible. If the agents aren’t dialing as efficiently, this can affect other metrics. The fewer contacts made, the lesser sales made per hour.

7. Finalized Per Hour (FPH)

Calculated by the number of finalized leads divided by the total number of hours. The reason that it is important to watch this is so we know if we have enough leads to support the dialing strategy in place or if we’ll need to supplement with additional leads.

If we are finalizing more records in an hour than we originally anticipated, it is important to see if there’s a potential issue. Something to consider if there are bad numbers that we’re cycling through. It’s good to evaluate all possibilities.

8. Return on Investment (ROI)

This is a crucial KPI for clients. The basic way ROI is defined is the total sales revenue generated by the campaign divided by the actual cost of the campaign. This is a way that clients can ensure the investment that they made is worth it. 

Being able to get sales is great. But if it costs more than the sale itself is actually worth, it may not be prudent for the client. In order to get the best ROI for our clients, we need to consider all the metrics above. It’s important to be efficient in our dialing and in working with every lead while representing our clients with excellence.

Take time to choose the right KPIs for your needs, and then ensure you’ve got everything set up to measure them properly. The contact center industry in the Philippines can do wonders in helping you measure KPIs.
