IOWA CITY, IA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 10/19/06 -- TMone, a
leading telesales and database marketing firm, has announced a new service
offering for direct response television (DRTV) advertising and the telecom
and financial services industries. TMone will provide performance-based
sales support to companies advertising their offers through DRTV.
Experienced sales agents will complete orders, cross-sell and up-sell
telephone responders 24/7 on a pay-per-sale basis with quality
efforts/stipulations. The new service offering provides clients with
financially accountable contact center support for their advertising.
"TMone's ability to convert inbound opportunities and our experience
providing sales support for direct response channels has enabled us to
comfortably execute DRTV campaigns on a performance basis," states TMone
Director of Business Development, Billy Kramer. "Under this new service
scenario, TMone shares in the risk of direct response marketing and has a
vested interest in our clients' close ratios."
Television ad spending, which dipped to a growth rate of just 2.4 percent
in 2005, is on the rise again in 2006, accelerating at a rate of about 5.0
percent per year. With the increase in television media spends designed to
create prospect calls to specialists in contact centers, TMone's DRTV
solution makes sense, especially for organizations with a focus on
infomercials and direct marketing. Every call is an opportunity to connect
with customers and generate revenues. As a well-known sales contact center with experience providing
sales support on a performance basis, TMone is a great fit for companies
requiring flexible, dedicated or blended solutions to handle inbound
customer contacts. Performance-based support for these contacts is unique
to the contact center industry and a testament to the conversion and take
rate results TMone is capable of delivering on inbound telesales
campaigns. TMone chose to distinguish itself from its competition by
being the only teleservices provider on the market currently providing a
100% pure pay-per-sale pricing option for DRTV.
TMone's DRTV offering will focus on execution of the sale as well as
quality and customer care components of its client's programs. TMone is
targeting organizations in the telecom, financial services, infomercial, ad
agency, direct marketing and DRTV industries as the first tier of
benefactors from the offering.
