What is a warm transfer and how will it boost sales conversion?
You’ve probably experienced a warm transfer at some point. For example, imagine you were on a call and the offer was a good fit for you and the agent offered to transfer you across to an expert. This process probably felt smooth, and you appreciated their interest in working with you.
The challenge
However, you’ve likely also noticed that traditional outbound list calling and lead generation calling results in wasted leads, as contact rates hover around 50%. This is mainly due to the fact that fewer people answer unknown calls, due to scams and many prefer texting over voice calls.
This means you are paying for a pool of contacts that are a challenge to convert with digital methods.
How warm transfers make a difference
Fortunately, warm transfers offer a solution by gaining live interest from prospects. By transferring the call straight to your sales team, when they are ready to speak, you increase your chances of success.
Key benefits at a glance:
- Increased conversion: Connect with interested leads on the first interaction.
- Better productivity: Spend less time dialling voicemails and only speak to engaged leads.
- Higher returns: Concentrate on prospects with high chance of converting and waste less budget.
- Fully compliant: Call centre transfer activity will only occur in line with ACCC telemarketing guidelines.
