How to Generate Quality Technology Leads from Singapore

July 25th, 2011 Posted in Lead Generation, Telemarketing |

Singapore – derived from the Malay term Singapura which literally means the Lion City, is known for their wealthy and highly developed economy. A lot of industries contribute to the growth of their economy. In the Singapore economy section of guidemesingapore.com, they have a report on the city-state’s key industries. A snippet of their news article states:

“The manufacturing sector contributes anywhere between 20-30% to Singapore’s GDP annually. The major industries include electronics (semi-conductors, precision-engineering, etc.), pharmaceutical, chemicals, construction, and ship-building. Beginning in the last quarter of 2007 and until the second quarter of 2008, the manufacturing industry’s growth was quite sluggish. The slowdown can be attributed to various factors such as the weakening of the US dollar, general slow down of major economies and in turn, decrease in overseas demand.”

Among the stated industries, the electronic or technology sector is perhaps the most sought after market in this Southeast Asian city-state. The sector contributes to a large amount of Singapore’s economy in terms of GDP and PPP. It is no wonder that many are trying to contact the companies in this city-state that are dwelling within the information technology sector. They know that whenever a business successfully transacts with other companies located in Singaporean soil, they are bound to acquire a huge impact within their sales output. More sales mean more revenue, and an increase in revenue means a higher chance of achieving growth for the business.

In order to effectively get in touch with these Singaporean IT companies, there is a need for professional help and this can come in the form of well experienced telemarketers.

Why is there a need for the services of a telemarketing company?

First of all, it does not necessarily mean that only companies in Singapore are allowed to target other organizations and firms located in the same locale. There are times that even foreign companies would like to target IT companies within the Lion City. However, spending on airfare is definitely out of the question.

For this reason, telemarketing in Singapore can come in handy. Call centers can contact potential clients easily and effectively through the use of the telephone. So it would not matter if the business or the prospects are miles apart from each other. With the aid of the telemarketing firm, distance means nothing. Because of this innovation, large number of calls can be completed per day, more than a hundred in fact. So if the campaign would last for thirty business days and the average number of calls are around 160 a day, then the total number of prospects that can be contacted is around 4,500 by the end of the campaign period. Try doing that with traveling alone.

Lead generation with the aid of telemarketing is not only limited to just contacting prospects once. Once a potential client has been seen to have an interest in the purchase, telemarketers continue on with many other processes, like lead nurturing and lead qualification, to maximize the chances of the potential client to become a certified customer of the business.

Cold calling Singaporean IT companies is the best way to generate leads and even set business appointments with their decision makers or maybe just their sales representatives. Nonetheless, the services of these professional telemarketers should be acquired to lower down costs while still managing to increase a company’s ROI.

July 4th, 2011 Posted in Lead Generation, Telemarketing |

Organizing events is a tough job. Event management companies in Singapore could not agree more. You have to make sure not just to invite intended audience but also ascertain if guests are sanguine to participate. It would be useless to set-up a trade show or a conference without meeting half or most of the expected population. In this case, event managers have to find the right way to attract participants through gentle persuasion.

Instead of slogging in face-to-face activities, why not use the phone and run a cold-calling campaign? Why tire your company and lose a lot of money with door-to-door undertaking if the task can be accomplished through telemarketing in Singapore? Although some companies may show doubts with this move, they just cannot gainsay that marketing through the phone does not just provide faster results. It is also an effective instrument in convincing attendants to participate in the organized events.

Speed has always been the biggest asset of B2B telemarketing. Singaporean firms that outsource lead generation services can attest to this. They have been served with qualified b2b sales leads without even exerting a lot of effort online and face-to-face interaction. The same is true in event management. Invitations are done at faster speed, which optimizes productivity. Apart from expediting the process, engaging a dialogue directly with the potential attendants gives the caller an opportunity to persuade them. This puts the phone as a reliable tool when for event management companies.

What to do and What to Not do for Your Lead Generation Campaign

June 27th, 2011 Posted in Telemarketing |

For a lot of aspects in our lives, there will always be those do’s and dont’s in order to lead us in doing the right thing. For example, you might have experienced at least once in your life when your mom told you to “Please do take out the trash,” or “Don’t drink the milk directly out of the carton,” or somewhere along those line.
For Singapore business owners, this concept still applies, especially for their lead generation campaign. Let us take a look at some of those do’s and dont’s.

Don’t initiate a call if proper research is not done – Telemarketing Singaporean prospects without any adequate research involved just invites rejection in every corner.

Don’t start a campaign without a proper calling list – A telemarketing list allows proper and precise targeting for one’s prospects. Without, the campaign will most likely be lead astray.

Do outsource to a reliable telemarketing company – If you can’t handle starting a telemarketing campaign on your own then never hesitate to outsource to professional telemarketers. You can then immediately gain expertise over your Singaporean prospects upon doing so.

Do give incentives for your telemarketing campaign, outsourced or not – Giving incentives to your team of telemarketers or those that reside in an agency allows them to be more than willing to complete tasks and meet goals.
