I currently have a 12 person call centre which I use to sell/promote products I am involved in. Currently we are running about 70% capacity which means I have some spare bodies and desks ready to sell all day long.

I am open to suggestions, should I rent out the staff on a daily basis i.e unlimited calls all day for £125 or does anyone have an interesting partnership idea smile

Rather than paying per day, do you offer a pay per appointment booked type deal?

I might be looking for a service such as this in the middle of next year but would be looking to pay a low basic fee plus a payment for each appointment booked for the field sales team.

I would certainly have been interested a few years ago when I needed qualified sales leads. Back in about 1995 I used a small telesales company with great success - I think it was £1 a call and £2 for an appointment, though I had to supply the data. IIRC I spent about £100 on calls, and got two new clients who over the next few years spent five-figure sums with me.

Tried it again around 2003 and the cheapest deal was £1,000 - no go. Fortunately I now have a business where people come to me so the problem doesn't arise. It's great!

So yes, if you have intelligent people sitting around who can take a brief and understand the key points of a company's products, I'd say you have a very good idea.

Thanks to everyone who has contacted me regarding about this service. I have taken all your feedback into account and think the package provided should include:

Initial telephone interview
Product review and script creation
Potential client lists generated
Full day, unlimited sales calls
All leads delivered by email

For the complete service we would charge £125 per day fully inclusive.

Thoughts appreciated wink

OK thanks to everyone who spent time chatting to me allowing me to put together our call packages. The website is almost finished so I was once again hoping for some feedback on the site layout and most of all does it fully communicate what were selling?

The site can be found here - http://www.mysalesdesk.co.uk/

I may be interested in this in the new year once we work out where to concentrate some of our efforts. At the rates you're quoting one booking from a days calling would be worthwhile.

I would suggest a very detailed proof read of the text on the site is an urgent priority, as even after a few beers I have spotted a number of mistakes in spelling and think there would be room for improvement in some of the grammar.

Thanks for the feedback, I should have mentioned the text is getting a complete rewrite on Monday. Glad to hear you think the prices are good wink
