HARD EARNED CO-OP DOLLARS GOING DOWN THE DRAIN?
Track your results and reap the rewards
http://www.tracpointwireless.com/800-co-...
by Brad MacArthur - TracPoint Wireless
Are you finding it impossible to track your advertising results? Still trying to get your retail staff to track results for you? Unsure of which advertising mediums work the best?
You are not alone A 2004 secret shopping survey of Wireless Dealer Retail Stores generated the following results: * 22% of all stores were unreachable (i.e. answering machine, voice mail or no answer) * 77% answered the phone unprofessionally (did not introduce themselves and company name) * 97% did not ask for the callers name or contact information * 96% did not identify which ad the customer was responding to * 90% did not invite the caller to the store
Consider TracPoint’s 800 Coop Response program that has been embraced by carriers and dealers alike.
Most Dealers today continue to advertise the same old way and expect different results. Dealers traditionally promote all their retail locations and all the different local telephone numbers in each ad. Like catching rain water with a coke bottle, it is nearly impossible to track advertising results when calls are being made into multiple telephone numbers.
If you want to make your coop dollars pay off and your phone lines ring, get a toll free Vanity Number where the numbers spell words, like 800-NEW-CELL or 800-NEW-RING and more. These hard to find numbers recently became available are now offered through TracPoint Wireless’ 800 Coop Response program.
Make the change and reap the benefits.....Eliminate your local telephone numbers and only advertise one toll free number in all your advertisments. Like a funnel, all calls are captured and routed into your closest retail location to the caller. Utilizing one key 800 number with 800-Co-op Response provides your business with many advantages that helps you increase your sales:
*Increase Advertising Response Rates. You will get 30% more calls with an unforgettable 800 Number -Develop a brand for your stores and have a number people will remember
*Track Every Lead. Real time on line tracking reports for you to view on the web! -Capture caller name, address and demographics, all available for download, even when your reps don't -See where your customers live and when they are most likely to call -Never lose a lead (every call captured)
*Measure Your Advertising Response Rates -See response rates and trends by media -All automated. No longer in the hands of retail personnel.
-Cut and spend your advertising dollars in mediums that work!

*Close More Sales -Every call digitally voice recorded and available for you to listen to on the web with the click of your mouse! -Make sure your retail personnel are answering the phone professionally…..every time! -Enhance sales training and phone skills by listening to archived calls. Review common objections and sales scenarios.

THE WIRELESS INDUSTRY'S NOT-SO SECRET WEAPON
Utilizing incentives marketing to stimulate sales and manage your customer life cycle.
http://www.tracpointwireless.com/contact...
by Philip Adler - President Mpell Solutions
As you know, when companies want to sell products or services they often use incentives, or ‘gift with purchase’ programs as motivators. They can be in the form of merchandise like a Free DVD Player or MP3, cash or travel opportunities. It’s the "carrot and stick" theory refined over years of trial and error, by legions of smart marketers and savvy merchandisers - all to improve the success of their sales programs. It works because people can often be persuaded to change loyalties and behavior, or act when given a good enough reason to do so
