Measuring the success of your telemarketing campaign
Measuring the various factors of your telemarketing campaigns will show you if it's been successful.
To ensure that your telemarketing campaign is effective and efficient, you must evaluate its success at regular intervals. There are a number of methods you can use to measure the results of your campaigns, such as the following:
- comparing it to previous campaigns from the year before that ran within the same time period
- keeping track of calls and orders received and compare these results with the previous year's statistics
- judging the effectiveness of the cold calls by the reactions of customers contacted
- assessing the number of leads generated within a particular time period
- recording the number of meetings that are generated from the leads received
- comparing the cost of the telemarketing against the money made in overall sales
- checking the value of sales in pounds made per hour
You should consider running a test telemarketing campaign to work out how you will assess success or failure before you begin a more permanent campaign. You can then use this information for any future campaigns you decide to undertake.
You should record any information specific to a campaign, such as:
- the telemarketing product
- the number of calls
- the targeted group of customers
- the address source
Ensure that you also record the costs of the address source, telephone charges and any other relevant costs for each campaign.
