There are many aspects to a low cost campaign. My first time using autodialer equipment for marketing was a disaster. Voice Broadcasting leads can be generated in large amounts but do it right. I hope by understanding these voice broadcasting pricing tips you will not do what cost me so much. Prior to providing auto dialer/voice broadcasting services to consumers I was the vice president of promotion for a large mortgage company. My job was to.Make the leads come in! We had sales agents on our sales floor receiving live leads. When we first started automatic dialing I figured all I had to do was set up the auto dialers, record a phone broadcast or advertising script and start making money. I failed. We totaled 23 live calls total and it cost us $73 per live call totaling $1679 in minutes not to mention the cost of data. We used auto dialer freeware so in this case we did not have to pay for the actual auto dialer machine. Why pay for the machine when you can just use the freeware.
To avoid this from happening consider the following.....
Make sure you know how automated calling per minute billing works. Two duplicate campaigns can be totally different in pricing; one costing you much more. You absolutely have to ask how their minute rate increment billing is charged. A lower cost does not mean you will save more in this industry. For example, Let's say COMPANY [X] charges in 60 second increments. That means you will be charged an entire minute despite if the call last five seconds. This is why many companies advertise rates lower than 1.1 cents per minute or less. What they never tell you is you are being billed in 60 second increments and charged for auto dialer usage time as opposed to connected calls. Each call will cost you at least one minute or 1.1 cents even if the outcome of the call is "no answer". COMPANY [Y] offers the same autodialer services but billing is in 6 second increments are as low as 2 cents and does not charge unless there is a connection. So, if 5,000 of your calls result in "no answer" you would be charged $0 by COMPANY [Y] and 5,000 minutes or $55 by COMPANY [X]. Then, let's say 1000 consumers answered the phone but hung the phone 5 seconds into the call. COMPANY [X] charges 1,000 minutes or $11. COMPANY [Y] would charge 100 minutes or $3.50 since there are 10 six second increments in 1 minute and each minute is 3.5 cents (100 x .035 = $3.50) As you can see, making the accurate decision will always save you money that means added calls that amount to more revenue.
