Telesales is the issue. We have companies ringing us every week offering toner and office supplies. There are three reasons why we reject their call. The first is that we're very happy with our current supplier, secondly, we never use compatibe cartridges, only the maker's and thirdly, we're registered with TPS (Telephone Preference Service). Before starting a telesales campaign, you need to ensure that your lists comply with TPS. It is an offence not to check whether the people you are calling have registered. To start any business at this time and make it successful, you need to be sure that there are compelling reasons for your prospects to become your customers. Why were your Harley Street customers so complimentary? Use that as a way of demonstrating how good the product is. Yes, you sound as if you have a good margin on the sale of your cartridges but how much is it costing to sell a cartridge, especially by telesales? If it takes 20 calls to find one buyer, how much has each of those calls cost? That's what was meant elsewhere by the real ROI. If the cartridge costs you £0.47 and each call costs £0.50 and every 20 calls gains you a sale, the cost is £10.47 for a product that you sell at £9.99. These are random figures used to illustrate the point but you do need to calculate what the real costs are. Good luck!<a href="http://www.premierhomestyle.com/accent-furniture-1539"> Rosemary P</a> It sounds as if you have found a supply that’s potentially profitable. Telesales is the issue.
