I can’t do my own telemarketing – it terrifies me!
I don’t know how you sell on the phone all day for other people – it would scare me to death!
And it’s true – the majority of people really dislike picking up the telephone and calling people, whether it be cold calling, calling to a warm list, or even sometimes calling old clients!

Let’s face it; most people don’t know the difference between Telemarketing and Telesales. This suggests that they don’t understand the important distinct values that can be gleaned from each service. The words ‘Telemarketing’ and ‘Telesales’ are still often used interchangeably and then, they can be used to describe activities that often cross over. However, if you wish to get the most from your telephone campaign, knowledge of the differences and how they can be best employed to help your business is vital.
