How Your Business Development Team helped

Your Business Development Team began working with Higos in Summer 2020.

Higos internal telephone team is mainly focused on inbound calls and using an external telemarketing resource focused on identifying renewal dates means that their more specialised internal sales resource can concentrate on conversion of the leads created by YBDT.

Additionally, while Higos’ Business Development Managers are tasked with new business generation, they are fully occupied working on supporting existing clients and targeting hot opportunities that they have little time to make prospecting calls and keep on top of renewals.

With this in mind the objective was to build a pipeline of potential future business. A telemarketing campaign is carried out monthly on behalf of Higos’ Business Development Managers, to discover renewal dates for various aspects of business insurance. By understanding the current cover and future requirements Higos can potentially offer improved cover and costs.

Calls are made to industry specific databases, with geographic campaigns also being carried to targeted areas of the country. Your Business Development Team used an experienced insurance industry Telemarketer to collect the maximum available information from each call. This information is then added into a CRM system for review by Higos sales team and further action to secure new business.

This campaign has been highly successful with calls yielding data for further follow up and appointments for Higos’ Business Development Managers being generated for immediate follow up.

What does the client say about Your Business Development Team?

We also spoke with Regional Manager Alan Clarke to get his view on the work YBDT have done with Higos.

How did you come to work with Your Business Development Team?

One of my colleague met YBDT at a local networking event and introduced them to me as he felt we would work well together.
 

Did you have any concerns before you started the project?
The quality of the calls and contacts made was the main concern as YBDT are representing our business. It was really important to find a partner who could deliver not only the results we need, but also a partner who understood our business and ensured our high standards could be met.
 

How did you find the process of working with them?
We find working with YBDT very easy, professional and friendly. We receive regular communication and feedback from the team and the information provided is always clear and correct.
 

Will you recommend them to others in your industry? What will you particularly tell them if asked?
Yes I would recommend YBDT to other businesses, although maybe not to our competitors. I would say they are ideal for businesses who are looking for a strong partner, who will represent them well, and deliver positive results in terms of strengthening your telemarketing distribution channel and sales pipeline.
