Cold Calling is not yet Dead

The twenty-first century is swarmed with a good count of alternatives in B2B lead generation. However, only a modest portion of these tools are effective in themselves. Cold-calling is definitely included in that list. For those who have circulated the death of this B2B telemarketing function, cold-calling is so much alive and kicking its way to deliver more rounds of good results.

True enough, cold-calling has not been a thing of the past yet. This fact is being supported by companies in the United Kingdom that have invested on outsourcing lead generation services to an offshore partner. Figures speak for themselves that more and more business organisations established in Great Britain have found a reliable partner in the form of B2B telemarketing. With this, it would take a very long time, or perhaps forever, for obituaries of cold-calling to be published.

For those that have abolished their pursuits to cold-calling, they have resorted to online marketing, with social media and pay per click at full tilt. Critics conferred a consensus that online marketing sunk down the “rubbish and faulty” cold-calling. Little did they know that, in spite of this online fanaticism, B2B telemarketing remains the most reliable in qualifying B2B sales leads with speed and precision.

As opposed to this digital revolution, there are just some magic in phone calls that cannot be attained online. For one is the roster of skills possessed by a cold-caller. A versatile professional telemarketer has greater chances of generating qualified sales leads when the former are using the telephone. Online methods and other direct marketing tools just cannot work this thing out.

I would not daresay that online techniques are ineffective. It just so happens that when a company wants to yield the best results, cold-calling is a top-seed factor. As long as the telephone still lives and so is cold-calling. This means that more business entities in UK will receive the rewards of this B2B telemarketing approach.
