Telephone Account Management
Outsourced calls for SMEs charities global brands established businesses
Existing customers can generate more revenue for your business too, so it’s crucial to keep in regular contact with your customers of all sizes (and spend) to ensure selling opportunities aren’t missed.
80% of sales often come from 20% of your customers
According to Pareto’s Law, 80% of your sales come from 20% of your customers.
If this is the case for your business, you’re not alone – but what about your smaller customers? If you start losing them, your business starts declining when it should in fact be growing. And it’s much cheaper to keep a customer than to gain a new one. Our Telephone Account Management service could be the answer.
why is telephone account management important?
Telephone Account Management is important because:
- Customers need to feel valued
- Customer loyalty needs to be maintained
- Regular contact prevents customers going to competitors
- There are opportunities for cross selling/up selling and securing contract renewals
- Significant cost savings can be made on face-to-face meetings
- Your in-house sales team will be free to look after your largest customers
how does telephone account management work
Our Telephone Account Management services are designed to look after your smaller clients where it’s proving too expensive to maintain them. These clients should be looked after by an internal account management team to ensure these clients feel important.
At the same time, it’s still important to prevent these customers looking elsewhere and going to a competitor.
In our experience, many of these customers are rarely called. Our account management services are designed to complement the activity of your existing sales team. This leaves your directors and senior sales executives free to look after your larger and strategic customers, and your business development managers available for middle growth customers.
Ultimately, our Telephone Account Management service means that you don’t lose customers, but look after them in a cost-effective manner with our help.
