      5.0★
      B2B Review from Greg Digneo

      Best decision we made last year was partnering with this CX team for our customer support, billing, and sales assistance. We were drowning in client emails and chasing invoices late at night instead of focusing on SEO strategy. Results have been incredible: client response times dropped from hours to under an hour, payment collection improved 60%, landing page conversions up 28%, and client retention increased 35%. They integrated seamlessly with our systems and scaled with us as we grew. Now we have more time to focus on delivering SEO results instead of being stuck in support tickets all day. If you're an agency juggling client support with campaign management, this team is a game-changer.

      We have been working with VSA for over 2 years and everyone is extremely pleased with the results. The entire team has been great to work with and they've become an integral part of our ongoing business development strategy. VSA consistently feeds our pipeline with high quality leads and are always available when you need them. They even made sure I didn't miss my flight when there were no cabs or Ubers available!Thanks for all the great work you've done!

      John A Martinka's Review Sourced from Google

      I started working with VSA in 2016 after going through three other services over the prior two years. These other services were sole practitioners and very small operations. They lacked oversight and control, something on which VSA is strong. In other words, the work gets done.And when the work is done there are positive results.The communications is excellent (Michele is great), they are flexible to my client’s ever changing schedules, and the feedback from those with whom they set appointments for me is positive (about the caller and their demeanor). To the person on the other end of the call it seems the caller is part of my business, which means they are very professional. I highly recommend VSA, and have recommended them to others.

      Chris Santarpio's Review Sourced from Google

      Our company has been working with VSA for about 5 years. They are such a great time and an extension to our sales and customer service team. They have both performed lead generation activities (i.e. appointment setting), as well as, customer service survey calls. VSA was quick to learn our ideal customers. They do a great job with getting to the right person. Our business is both service and product sales and VSA has a great grasp of what our objectives are. We are so fortunate to continue to see results with their hard work and dedication. I highly recommend VSA if you are looking to see more sales activity and results.

      Sarah Gonzales's Review Sourced from Google

      We are a digital marketing agency and have been using SAS for the past three months. I'm so happy with this service. They screen all our calls, and have saved us so much time and hassles having to deal with spam calls. They've also been really helpful in building out instructions for their team to ensure that each call from either current clients or prospective customers is handled in the right way. And I love that they are always aiming to improve -- every time I suggest a new way to handle calls, they immediately implement the suggestion. This is a great, very personalized and affordable receptionist service for small businesses.

Frequently Asked Questions

What do telemarketing companies do?

Telemarketing agencies use phone-based direct marketing to sell products, generate leads, or book appointments on behalf of businesses, performing both outbound and inbound calls to grow sales pipelines and client relationships. 

As all telemarketing interactions involve direct human contact, the approach allows them to influence potential customers’ opinions, purchasing habits, or perceptions toward a brand. 

What services do telemarketing firms provide?

Telemarketing services for businesses can be split into two main categories: inbound and outbound.  

  • Inbound telemarketing services cover customer support calls, namely technical support, order taking, billing inquiries, upselling, and virtual receptionist service, to name a few. They can support both B2B and B2C companies. 
  • Outbound telemarketing services, also referred to as proactive outreach, are intended to boost businesses’ bottom line. This category comprises several different service types, including lead qualification, appointment setting, cold calling, customer reactivation, and more. 

B2B telemarketing companies are often hired to assist non-profit organizations in soliciting donations or to collect debt and follow up on overdue accounts on behalf of other businesses.   

How much do telemarketing agencies charge for their services?

Telemarketing agencies charge between $7 and $75 per hour for their services. The service cost can also vary based on location (offshore vs. onshore), campaign complexity, duration, and agent experience, with B2B telemarketing campaigns often costing more than B2C.  

Other common pricing models include: 

  • Per-lead: $35 to $60 per qualified lead 
  • Flat-rate: $650+ for a 4-week campaign 
  • Commission-based: 5% to 20% of each closed sale 

How long do telemarketing campaigns take?

Telemarketing campaigns usually take a few months, as lead nurturing takes multiple phone calls for telemarketers to engage with a prospect and close a sale.  

Although initial lead generation begins within the first few weeks, for a full, effective cycle, the campaigns are run between 3 and 6 months. The average campaign takes about 14 weeks to reach an optimum level of opportunities per day. The length also depends on the campaign type:  

  • Pilot and trial campaigns: Usually run for 10 to 12 weeks to test the market, refine the pitch, and validate traction. 
  • Short campaigns: 4 to 6 weeks for time-sensitive promotions or event registrations. 
  • Long-term campaigns: 6 months to over a year for slow B2B sales cycles that require more lead nurturing. 

What kind of ROI can businesses expect from telemarketing campaigns?

 Lucrative telemarketing campaigns often result in a 5:1 to 10:1 return on investment (ROI), meaning $5 to $10 in revenue for every $1 spent. The return rate depends on the quality of the call lists, the persuasion skill of the callers, the product, the offer, and whether it's part of a multi-channel strategy. Notably, ROI grows over time through stronger customer retention and better targeting informed by feedback from calls.
