[AFMUG] Using outside reps or service to call customers?

2014-10-26 Thread Paul McCall via Af
Is anyone using a 3rd party company to call your customers on your behalf, 
primarily in the area of upsells of service or routers?  We have been pushing 
the Mikrotik routers to each customer prem and its really helping us a LOT to 
solve or at least see the customers internal issues (what device is using what 
bandwidth etc.).

We do email blasts and an occasional robo-calls when we are going to be 
upgrading a tower, especially 2.4 customers, because it saves us having to get 
customers talked into logging into their router and changing frequencies to 
avoid radio conflicts, etc.

The real question is, is anyone using a 3rd part sales/marketing service etc. 
to contact existing customers for this type thing?

You have working phone numbers for your customers?  That alone is a major 
achievement.  I go along dumb and happy thinking I do, until I need to reach 
them, and find out the number is no longer in service.

Yes, probably 95% of working numbers.
