Complex Sale Requires a Sophisticated Approach
Agilent Technologies supplies laboratories worldwide with
state-of-the-art chemical instrumentation and supplies. In fact, their
technically complex products can take whole teams of Ph.D. chemists to
develop. Promoting Agilent’s equipment to the scientists who use
it requires equally sophisticated and intelligent marketers.
MarketMakers Group uses highly educated interviewers who can think and
speak knowledgeably about your industry. This allows our team to consistently
conduct successful and profitable telemarketing campaigns to laboratory
professionals who produce complex supplies. Agilent asked MarketMakers
to speak with customers about a new product launch for specially priced
columns & supplies, and take orders from sales leads. It was a multi-step
telemarketing campaign: Because we knew that introducing loyal customers
to a technical advancement would pique their interest and get them to
buy, our callers had to learn how each product worked and why it was an
advance over what the customer was using at a time.
Agilent asked MarketMakers to interview customers about another new product
– a test for proteomics (the study of both the structural and functional
aspects of proteins). To ensure project success, MarketMakers needed to
get the answers to a host of complicated questions: the reason for testing?
… the application formerly used? … what gene was targeted?
… why type of RNA was being tested?… and whose arrays were
being used? MarketMakers’ detailed answers to these questions gave
Agilent the answers they needed to better market this product. Our telemarketing
campaign also gathered data that raised issues regarding production performance
& service, and provided Agilent with intelligent suggestions for product
improvement.
Careful research and project management by our educated staff, combined
with thoughtful interviewing by knowledgeable callers, followed by a detailed
analysis of results, are what make all MarketMakers Group telemarketing
campaigns successful.
