Telemarketing:
How to Buy or Rent Targeted Phone Lists

Telemarketing lists are Mailing lists with telephone numbers

Telemarketing Lists are postal lists that include telephone numbers. A Telemarketing list can reach businesses by phone or consumers at their homes.

A recent study showed that 32% of Americans make purchases over the phone from an outbound telemarketer, spending an average of $135.

Telemarketing has been a highly effective marketing tool for companies for many years, enabling them to promote their products and services efficiently. Survey results show that telemarketing generated over $660 billion in sales in 2021, accounting for approximately 6 percent of GDP and surpassing the entire U.S. restaurant industry.

Some consumer lists on the market today include telephone numbers, while others do not. Why is that? It’s because some particular list owners do not want their list to be called. Typically, the number of records available is much lower for Consumer telemarketing lists when phone numbers are required due to the Do Not Call laws in the USA and Canada. In other words, the mailing list with the specific demographics you’re looking for might have 5,000 names available, but adding phone numbers to make it a telemarketing list can reduce the number of names available to less than 1,000.

If companies want to do telemarketing in the USA and Canada, they must register with the Do Not Call authorities to make phone calls to home phone numbers.

Please visit the FTC’s Do Not Call website for more information or to register.

Visit the Canadian Do Not Call Registry for more information or to register.

A Telemarketing list can be a great asset to a multi-channel marketing campaign.

Often, you can send a direct mail letter to a prospect and then follow up with a phone call. Or, you can phone first to check if you should buy the stamp. As mentioned above, the fact remains that using a telemarketing list is genuinely effective.

Charitable organizations often use telemarketing lists to solicit donations, while businesses typically use telephone lists to pre-qualify prospects and close sales over the phone.

You can keep track of your telemarketing list calls using a basic Excel spreadsheet. Each time you make a call, record the result of each call. (You can do this yourself or hire one or more people to work your telemarketing list.) Mark the results, such as:

  • No Answer
  • Wrong Number
  • Appointment/ Sale
  • Not Interested
  • Call Back
  • Not Qualified
  • Answering machine
  • No Answer

By keeping track of the calls, you can see how well this telemarketing list converts for you and which areas your callers may need more training on.
