A virtually untapped market, marketing to business establishments through Voice broadcasting is something not everyone is doing. Only a fraction of businesses that use voice blast ever target businesses. The reason behind being that big companies have voice prompts or automated answering machines. With that the most feasible approach is by manually dialing those numbers.  Unless you have the direct lines of the big boss then voice mail blast will not work well with these big corporations.
However, if the product that you’re selling or the service that you’re offering can target small and medium sized enterprise then you have a good shot with voice mail broadcasting.  Though for some the call still by passes the secretary if any, the best approach is by leaving voice mail messages after working hours.
Whether you are selling ink cartridges, bond papers, office supplies, daily news papers or you may be conducting a seminar for better business management, all of these can be made possible through voice broadcasting. Leaving  voice mail message at night or after work will prove beneficial as you can make sure that your greeting is saved in their office phone. With a great offer and great sales pitch your phone will be ringing off  the hook as people will start calling your office to avail the offer.
Doing live calls can also prove to be effective as some small size businesses have the decision makers answer the phone directly.  Doing mixed campaign a couple of times will test which approach will serve you better.

Voice Broadcasting yields greater response rate amongst existing marketing approach at a fraction of the price. With its high volume message delivery system everything is in placed to move your business forward and help you in lead generation.

The easiest way to generate higher response rate is when you offer something that is for free. May it be a free product, consultation or service. This works best especially if you are doing voice blast that targets both home owners and renters. Voice mail blast works during trade fairs to gather more people to participate and come to the event. It would be best if you do two voice blast, one a week or two weeks and another a day prior to the event. This gives them the opportunity to ask about and anticipate the trade fair. Another industry that works well with voice broadcasting is the car sales industry. To drive consumers to their lot when they are promoting a big sale or event they frequently use voice mail blast. Voice blasting can also be used with success when you are conducting seminars or campaign in certain areas.

During elections, voice broadcasting becomes very popular among political candidates. They usually use their own voice when making announcements in particular cities and to be more personable to the voters.

Targeting your market is very important in any business solutions. A great majority of the voice broadcasting campaigns target consumers. They make up a great bulk and are easier to reach. Gathering your leads however will be quite the challenge. As previously discussed you need not buy those expensive targeted leads just so you can guarantee sales profits. It’s just a matter of knowing where to look and being smart with your resources. Doing a little bit of research here and there can be worth your while.

The mortgage industry is a big fan of voice mail blast campaigns. They are amongst the biggest and regular clients. Saying that, voice broadcasting companies are affected by the fluctuation of the mortgage industry. When the condition in mortgage is good voice broadcasting suffers. The opposite is also true as these mortgage brokers are finding ways to reach their prospective clients and the easiest way is by doing voice blast. If you are a mortgage broker and you haven’t used voice broadcasting to market your service then now you know why you are behind your peers.

A big section in the mortgage business that do well with voice broadcasting are those that deal with refinancing and they exhaust the available home owner data. There is still some sectors that could profit well using voice mail blast. It may require more time and effort from the broker himself and the results may not be immediate but looking into capturing those who rent apartments and creating in them the need to eventually own a home is something you might want to consider.

Wouldn’t it be amazing to have your own business and not handle the hard work?

Once you have established your own voice broadcasting campaigns and have become familiar with how this type of advertising works then it’s inevitable to venture more on profiting from it. Some companies become resellers as they can have full control over the calls that go out especially for large companies who wanted to monitor their sales and call campaigns in larger scales. For some however, they know a lot of small and medium sized business owners whom they think might benefit by trying voice broadcasting.

This is where turnkey websites come in. A turnkey website is patterned from the original website of your voice broadcasting company. This time however, all the information like the company logo, name and contact information will be replaced by your company. All the pricing can be altered according to your specifications. You can offer smaller chunks of calls for a good price. As a reseller you have the privilege of getting better discounts for bulk orders. Once everything is set in place then you can start introducing your own business to your prospective clients with full confidence. You can then monitor all the activities and focus on the marketing and sales side of voice broadcasting.

Somehow, you have already leveraged your self when you become a reseller. You earn while you sleep and your customers will be launching campaigns without your intervention.

Does it have to be expensive? Is it a guarantee that good leads spell profit?

To answer these questions let me give you some insight. Here’s an example of how to mine for good leads. Say you want to obtain a list of residentials with above average income brackets, say those who earn $200,000 a year in rich neighborhoods. You would start thinking where can I buy such a good lead? This type of lead may cost you 12-15 cents at the very least.

In my case, I was able to get this lead without paying such price at all. Remember that my trusted data provider sells the list at a very inexpensive price. They offer more generic or non specific kinds of leads. Given that, these data are composed of residentials and businesses. All you need to know now is search as to where in your area or zip do rich people live. You may want residents in Virgina Beach in Virginia, San Jose or San Francisco California. It’s that easy! By being specific on the places where you want to get the list from you already know that you can get good prospects there. These places are actually among the 10 riches cities in the US thus majority of the residents here are in the high income brackets since buying a house in this area remains costly. So through simple and wise thinking you are actually getting the same quality of leads when you would have bought a targeted list that is very expensive.

So there, No it doesn’t have to be expensive and good leads does not always guarantee profit.

There are a lot of existing sources out there where you can obtain your data or lists. Others come in cheap while others are very lucrative. Just choose your bet! Question remains which are the good ones. When I started this business it took me a couple of years to find a reputable data source. After arduous trial and error I finally found one that is reliable and inexpensive. So don’t be frustrated if the first one you got wasn’t worth it. Eventually, you will find the best data source that will cater your unique need and market.

Up until now I am still patronizing this data source. As a patron I strongly suggest that you maintain a good communication, loyalty and sincerity with your list provider as they are very essential in the growth of your voice broadcasting business.

Be in the know how that procuring valuable data has a price. The more specific or targeted you want your list to be the more price you have to pay to obtain it. Say you want an all senior citizens data then this is a type of being specific or targeting a certain demographic.

Spending years in this line of business, I became aware that it’s not really necessary for one to pay that exorbitant price to get good leads. Effort and time is necessary of course as there are certain ways one can generate a valuable data without having getting expensive ones. It may take some time but it will be worth it.

 We have tackled the first critical component of your voice broadcasting campaign which is your greeting or message. Now, lets take a look at the second critical component.

Your data or phone list plays a very vital role in your voice broadcasting campaign. It´s possible for you to have the best, most effective message in the world, but if you don´t have high quality lists, you could still end up with no response. As a telemarketer you have to ensure that you have high quality leads. These leads can be categorized into three.

1. Your personal lists

This works best if your company have established your own clientèle, the customers who have previously purchased your products or availed for your services. Your company already has the data of these customers and these are your gold mine. Now in this case you can choose to have a professional record the greeting for you or you can record it on your own. Considering that these are your clients, it’s comforting for them if they get to hear your own voice and are more likely to be engaged in the call. Though this approach has proven effective, you need to have a very large scale data to succeed using your own list. Otherwise, your list will be exhausted and will be forced to buy leads from data sources.

2. Basic or non specific lists

A general lists can be used when you don’t have to contact a certain demographic. A lot of mortgage brokers, MLM businesses or pizza deliveries use this type of lists. You just have to provide either an area or zip code you want the leads to come from and data will be provided for you. This leads are also cheaper to purchase.

3. Specific lists

When trying to reach a certain income bracket, age or whatever demographic you want you need targeted leads. Bear in mind that these leads are very expensive and is not a guarantee for a successful campaign considering the expense involve in buying it. You can buy this leads according to certain categories such as:

1. elderly people

2. 200K a year income people

3. good credit rating residents

 The press one campaign is the ultimate seller in voice broadcasting. This mode of campaign creates a sensed of urgency that most marketers are willing to take advantage. Creating a sense o urgency makes the customer be conscious of the time to contact you. Now is the right time! Press one now! Making customers press one to be connected to you or one of your call center representatives give you a greater chance of making the sale since the excitement of the customer regarding your product or service is still there. What if the customer wants to take note of any information about your offer? The only way for them to do that is to press one allowing you to make this a hot lead. A call to action is a must for any marketing approach.

Let’s go back and see the flow of an effective voice broadcasting greeting:

1. The lead

The critical first five words that will grab your customers attention such as “…free 30 minute sauna“

2. Emphasizing the benefits and then features.

The body of your message must convey what benefits your customers will get when they go for the offer. The benefit that could be offered with this is ” let our sauna detoxify your body from the toxins gathered from the environment and rejuvenate your body as a whole.”

3. A strong call to action

This is it. Now that you have given all the major points of your offer you don’t want to let go of this customer. You want them to reach you right there and then. Make sure they press one now so they can enjoy the free sauna.

If you have a Spa service that offers free 30 minute sauna that is brand new, the fact that the sauna is new is just a feature. Your customers are not really concerned that it’s a brand new equipment unless you make it a point why this equipment will benefit them.

The benefit that could be offered with this is the fact that sauna detoxifies the body from the toxins gathered from the environment and rejuvenates your body as a whole. Now, considering the limited time you have in introducing this service over a voice broadcasting message you will have to trim it down, but you will have to make sure that the gist is there.

A strong call to action

The final critical part of your voice broadcasting message is to prompt your customers to take action straightaway. Many new clients who tried voice broadcasting focus on introducing more information on their message greeting and tend to forget the vital part in taking immediate action. A call to action is the part of your promotional message where you urge the customer to take action. In the case of Voice Broadcasting the most common form of action is to ask them to press one. Remember that a press one campaign increases your response rate 200-600% fold. A strong call to action is seen everywhere, be it in television infomercials that say call now or order now . This technique has proven to be effective, thus it’s a must that you take advantage of it as well. Don’t be so presumptuous that your customers will just write down your phone number and contact you sometime in the future. Make it a point that they press one now so they will get to take advantage of the free 30 minute sauna.
