I just wanted to give you an update on the Telemarketing Sales Manager job. As of late last month, I stopped posting new ads to find a Telemarketing Sales Manager.

I am still looking for someone to run this part of our business, but, as I mentioned before, I am commited to the outcome of selling sponsorships to agents more than I am commited to this particular approach and that means changes.

Anyone who has applied and is wanting to move forward as the Telemarketing Sales Manager, the good news is that I am not marketing to fill this position anymore.

You will have until January 1st, 2009 to show me that you are making progress by making at least 10 sales directly or by folks on your team that you earn a commission on. If you are not willing to get on the phone and either make 10 sales yourself or motivate your team to make 10 sales in the next few weeks, I will do you a favor and let you know that this job is not for you.

In the meantime, I will continue to do marketing tests like the hourly telemarketers and e-mails that I have been testing to further improve the sales system and get feedback that I can pass on to you to make your job easier and more profitable.

Serious Telemarketing Sales Managers will continue to call me daily to check in, but don’t tell me about the storms at sea, just get the ship to shore.

Until my next post,

James

This afternoon we released a new feature to the Offer Generator system and also the Analyzed Deals deal analysis generator.

The new feature now shows both the return on investment on just the down payment and also on the down payment and the estimated repairs.

The new feature will work with all existing deals that we have analyzed on the Offer Generator tool, but will only show up in new posts for the calculations from now forward.

Depending on the amount in repairs and if you are paying them out of pocket up front, it can significantly affect your return on investment so watch these numbers closely.

Until my next post,

James

If you’re serious about being our telemarketing sales manager, you’ll do the following each day:

1. You will check in with James at least once per day with a status report.
2. You will check in with all your telemarketers by calling them or have them call you once in the morning, once half way through the day and once at the end of their work.
3. You will set and insist on minimum standards like a certain number of calls per day, a certain number of agents added each day, a certain number of sales per week, etc.
4. You will let them know when they are not performing to your minimum standards and put them on notice for not performing.
5. You will commit to constant and never ending improvement to make yourself, your team and the entire business better.

If you’re not serious, please do both of us a favor and remove yourself from the e-mail list by using the link at the bottom of the e-mail. I am sure you don’t want to receive e-mails from me and I only want to work with serious folks.

Sincerely,

James
