Frequently Asked Questions
What industries do you call for?
We market for most all business to business. We do not place any residential calls.
What ALL do you do, and what am I responsible for?
Working with you to hit the target dead center, we’ll generate a prospect list, make sure your marketing items hit home, call through the list and generate leads for you (generally shooting for in person appointments), email your marketing materials to the prospect for you, continue to email and call until they are ready to talk to you. Your responsibility is to pick up the ball when the prospect is ready and ideally score a touchdown, or hand it back off to us for further communication by us should the prospect not buy.
How long is my commitment?
30 day cancellation is all that is required. Our goal is to put money IN your pocket, not take it out.
How soon can I get started?
Start date is agreed upon after you sign up however if you can get us your list request and script approval completed quickly you can generally start the following week.
Do I need to download any software or have special hardware or skills to work with your system?
No. Our online system is far easier than ACT or Saleforce.com and no special skills or hardware are needed.
What is my total out-of-pocket to just try your service?
Unlike most services such as InfoUSA which require a 1 year contract and over $200 each month for a glorified electronic phone book, SalesDouble does everything it can to keep your start up costs low. Your set up fee is $500 and includes list, scripting, and marketing assistance. Once you pick a start date for calls to begin you pay $119 per week and can cancel anytime with 30 days notice. Set up fee plus 30 days of calls totals $976 which would be the minimum. We request that you do not even sign up if you are not able to participate for at least 3 to 6 months as we are not a lottery ticket. While you may often “hit gold” in your very first call block, to see a true return on investment requires filling your pipeline, patience, and the magic 7 contacts building one upon another.
What kind of guarantee do you provide?
We guarantee we will generate your list and dial the requested number of businesses each month and provide the leads to you and you only while utilizing our services. It would be disingenuous to promise X number of appointments since revenues, geography, industry, etc. all play such a huge role in your final ROI.
Does your online system sync with Outlook or SalesForce.com or others?
No. However you can quickly and easily download the leads we generate for you and then upload them into your CRM software of choice. Most clients find that working within our system is all they need.
Where does the list come from if generated by SalesDouble?
Our list is proprietary having called over 20 million businesses. We update our list continually using various list providers.
Who is making the calls?
We place calls on your behalf and sound as if we are right there in your office since we are working for you. While we do have in house callers, most of the callers work in remote offices here in the continental US or Canada, and they will train for your project so they are comfortable enough to sound like they are right in your office. Each of our callers is always based in the US or Canada, not India or some offshore location, and are generally women due to higher results, is well educated, highly trained and paid, and the number one compliment we receive as a company is the professionalism of our callers. We are very proud of our callers.
Can I add my own leads to the system and send the marketing materials to my own prospects?
Yes, we recommend it! To send items to one of your own prospects, simply roll over the “Contacts” tab and then click on “Add Lead”. Once the lead is added you can send them all the same materials we send, place them on long term campaigns, and even enter notes that can be triggered to email to yourself as a reminder in the future.
Do the marketing materials you send out to prospects have tracking capabilities?
Yes. You can add tracking cookies to any of the items created and then see when your prospect receives and views them.
Are the leads you generate for me exclusive and do I have a territory?
All leads generated for you are provided to you and only you within your industry. If we are calling for a business broker, an insurance agent, and a commercial realtor all in the same town there would obviously be overlap.
However, no other client within the same industry will receive the same lead. In regards to territory, it is more accurate to say that a business category will become exclusively yours. For instance if your prime market for insurance sales is 1-50 employees then you will take/reserve that
category. However, we may still bring on a client who is looking for group health insurance in the 100+ employee bracket.
Even though they are in the same geographical area, they have reserved a
different category that will be exclusive to them.
