Speaker: Sridhar Ramanathan, President, Pacifica Group

Topic: "The Inside Scoop on Outsourced telesales”

Speaking Abstract:
More and more technology firms are turning to outside firms to handle telesales, inside sales, or teleprospecting rather than doing it internally. They hope to gain advantages in cost, speed, and expertise. But, unfortunately, not all these outsourcing partnerships deliver the expected results. Come to this session and hear about:

• What are the different types of telesales models?
• Why do companies outsource telesales?
• What criteria should you use to decide which firm to choose?
• What are the pitfalls to avoid in this outsourcing relationship?
• What are success metrics that help drive best results?

Mr. Ramanathan will share his firm’s extensive experience in both hiring and managing telesales firms on behalf on his technology clients.
