Can you tell us what the campaign was about?
Customer Acquisition/Sales Campaigns for several insurance products in Life and Accidental & Health products, using telemarketing techniques.
Why did you use Telemarketing to promote it?
Telemarketing is still a very interesting channel to distribute your products and in Portugal we have a lot of expertise and experts on this activity. Actually Portugal, Telemarketing and Contact Center activity, could be an hub for a lot of industries around the world. Take in consideration that when we talk about Telemarketing we refer to both Outbound as well as Inbound.
In awarding you the prizes the Contact Center World also highlighted the quality of your data. How is such a high quality captured?
Building strong partnerships with our sponsors and external providers. We now resort to a lot of lead generation trough the online channel in order to qualify the lead and the customers’ needs before we call them. This way we are also compliance with data protection laws, since all of our campaigns are opt-in campaigns, meaning that the customer for each campaigns authorizes MetLife to contact them.
