If, during the appointment call, we hear responses like: they agreed to an appointment only to get the telemarketer off the phone; or that they really did not understand what the solution was all about because the telemarketer could not explain the concept well enough, etc. - the performance commission will not be paid. >>A script with talking points will be provided for to you to use as a guide – but YOU MUST BECOME FAMILIAR WITH BOTH THE SCRIPT AND THE CONCEPT OF DOCUMENT MANAGEMENT – so you can speak naturally (as if you were NOT reading from a script) and be able to answer a prospect’s basic questions. You must be able to naturally and accurately convey the benefits of a document management system (i.e., what document management will do for the school). If you Google "document management", you will find thousands of resources that provide an excellent base understanding. >>You do NOT have to become a document management expert, and it is OK to follow up with the prospect later, once you get the answer on more advanced questions. >>We will provide you with some lists of potential prospects, but you are free to gather leads by any LEGITIMATE, PROFESSIONAL means: NO mass emails, spamming, auto-dialers, robo-calls, etc. If you have other ideas for contacting prospects and setting appointments, feel free to elaborate when placing your bid.
