I run a telemarketing and advertisment department for a water treatment company. For the 1st time in 5 years my marketing department is haveing trouble setting up these appointments. It seems as though they are working as hard, but can not set any appointments. If you were the person on the other line what would convince you we should come to your home for a free water test? This is what we do when we come to your home. First, we test the water, two we complete a survey that shows you how water affects your home & health. Finally we give you a estimate on a whole house water treatment system. Should I be looking for another job, because if my department can't set leads then were worthless. Last of all-My departments has been suscessfull for 6 years. What has changed out there on the other line of the phone?

With the availability of water purifiers in every chain store, bottled water, even delivered, people are no longer concerned about what might or might not be in our water.
There would have to be a concern if it had an issue concerning us bathing or cleaning or even breathing any of it (steam). Or if it revealed plumbing issues needing to be addressed. Otherwise it is of the past. I would think it would be of most use to those of us who remodel, live in historic houses, etc.
It could also make a difference if your product was more cost effective than choices, more environmentally safe, or if the competition did not do what we believe it really does completely.

Well, the last time one called me - they said my husband and I had to be there at the same time for the sales pitch. hubby won't do that stuff, though he'll conceed to purchasing anything I've researched and found to be valuable. (Plus, we work different shifts, so it's nearly impossible to get us together in the house when we're not both alseep)
So even though I'm interested, and would be willing, and may even be a potential customer, your rules put me out of your pool.

Maybe people are having their water tested for free by the utility that provides it. I know I have had to explain to some customers that we will test their water if they have a concern, when they called to ask about a company that wanted to test their water.

Dude this job is bunk. Your wasting your time there. Nobody cares of they have soft or hard water. Its not your team its the service. Just a bad product.
