The simple answer is to give us a call on 0800 591273. 

We are always delighted to discuss what objectives you wish to achieve through your sales & marketing programmes and in which areas we can provide support which will make an impact and provide real, measurable results.

Alternatively fill in the Free Healthcheck form and we will call you when we’ve examined your current processes and provide you with ideas about how they can be enhanced.

We have all been victims of the heavily scripted sales call, where there appears to be an automaton at the other end of the line.

Abtel will engage with people in your market place, from Chief Executive to Manager, IT Director to receptionist, in an intelligent, conversational manner, using the right blend of techniques to gain qualitative, quantitative information, converting buying decisions in your favour as we go.

Abtel have developed a successful business development campaign for a very small, luxury chocolates manufacturer based in Scotland. 

At the other end of the scale, a multi-national electronics corporation based in Holland has continued its partnership with Abtel for the past five years in order to support its field sales team.

First the efficiency factor: companies who partner with Abtel have instant infrastructure for growth, plus a complete range of integrated technologies. Our clients avoid making costly infrastructure and integration investments, while those companies who in-source their marketing must absorb all these technology and integration costs themselves.

Think of it this way: you want to start a business selling a widget MKIII. You have a fantastic product and want to launch it to the world. Problem: you don’t necessarily want to build a contact centre, hire dozens of employees, invest tens of thousands of pounds in support technologies and thousands more implementing and integrating them - you just want to sell the widgets! That’s where outsourcing provides a cost (and convenience) advantage

Partnering with Abtel enables you to have everything you need – integrated infrastructure, specialist personnel and technologies – without the hassle or financial investment; not to mention that your core competency is building great widgets, not necessarily delivering the services to support your sales proposition.

Which brings us to expertise: because Abtel is focused on Marketing as a concept, we have developed cost-effective techniques, technologies and infrastructure to support our services.

Customer care and Marketing support have been our core competencies since 1994.

If your sales team spend a substantial amount of their time trying to organise appointments, they won’t be spending time doing what they do best – selling your product! 

Abtel can provide a pipeline of confirmed sales appointments, which comply with your own qualification criteria on business type, size, location and turnover. In short it's “horses for courses” – we have the knowledge, facilities, resources, personnel and discipline to ensure maximum results for your organisation. 

We place great importance on getting to know your organisation long before we pick up the telephone on your behalf.

We get to know exactly what you want from your campaign, who your likely target will be, what questions are likely to be asked, how to overcome possible objections to their proposition, and what the benefits are. 

Only when our specialist team are totally comfortable with your objectives of the campaign will we start making calls on our client’s behalf.

• We believe our services are unique.

• Many of our clients choose Abtel even when they have not considered the possibility of outsourcing to a marketing resource before. 

• Our clients are often high profile organisations who invest heavily in their corporate image and rely upon us to maintain continuity of that image.

• They trust us to engage with their prospective – and existing clients, in a manner that is at least as effective as if they were making the call themselves.

• Our approach, by its very nature, is creative, flexible and responsive.

• We constantly strive to add value to each and every business relationship and to provide pre-campaign service level agreements and post campaign data analysis and evaluation.

• High-calibre organisations require a high-calibre marketing partner – regardless of size!

• Of course! If your team has the correct training, experience, motivation, management, time resource and infrastructure.
  

• However, our clients choose Abtel as a preferred partner because they know they can tap into our expertise as and when required.

• This frees internal personnel to focus on core business, while all the “other stuff” is being taken care of.

• You can relax in the knowledge that our support helps your organisation be more effective, more efficient and, ultimately, more successful.

Why send information to companies who would have no requirement for your product?

How often have you been told that your information didn’t reach the key decision maker?

And just what did they say about calling them back in a few months?

Telemarketing is the gathering, recording and interpretation of up-to-date, relevant knowledge – and knowledge is power!
