The Cost of Unexpected Sales Calls

A recent survey showed:

The average office manager in this country is paid $17 per hour.

The average office gets 10 unexpected sales calls (combined phone and in-person) each week.

Business owners, on average, are paying their office managers $18 per week, or $936 per year, to handle these unexpected sales calls.

OK, I'm not piling on sales reps, not in the least - but we all know at least some of these sales calls turn out to be a waste of everyone's time, because the product or service simply is not a match for the business the rep has called on.

A new service, which will allow businesses to streamline the process of receiving, and prioritizing sales calls is on its way...projections say, that $936 per year will be reduced by up to 75%!

I'll post additional information as it becomes available.
