Faxing Companies - Some Tips

Instead of Cold calling do you think I can just get away with sending a page of info about our services, faxing straight instead of going through the calling bit?

Dont.

I work for an estate agent and we get them all the time, faxes like this go straight in the bin.

Okay cool

Wizard Keyaz · 26 Nov 2007 at 12:58

whats your Fax number lol

Unsolicited faxes are equally, if not more annoying than phone calls.
This is why there is a fax preference service.

What do you think if I can get 2 - 5% response from Faxing I guess my job is done, but I think if my luck is okay, it may go to the right department.

So it is a defo NO then in your books?

Note: Some of these Gatekeepers are hard to pass!

It might depend what you are offering but any company I've worked for has just binned the faxes straight away unless they specifically requested them. It might still be worth your time and money but I wouldn't count on it.

Wizard Keyaz · 26 Nov 2007 at 13:52

I won't count on it at least I am trying to be as more proactive as I can.

i assume your selling something?

So you're looking to find the best way to advertise it?

What kind of product is it?

Make sure you are sending the faxes from a premium rate line, otherwise you will get people like me who will send you 42 pages back just to show how hacked off you can get from unsolicited faxes

We get about 20+ faxes a day from stupid advertising companies, completely wastes our toner and the paper goes straight into internal recycling.

So in short, no.

Wizard Keyaz · 26 Nov 2007 at 14:04

It's a service and not a product.

I don't recieve faxes but I can send them out, I only have the fax machine switched on when I expect it.

By the way my fax is just a page long short and right to the point, they can quickly go through it and have my details if needed.

If you did it to me then I'd bombard your company with complaints through fax, email and phone... for days. Unsolicited calls pee me right off but a fax costs me money through paper and ink. If your company was nearby then I'd probably drive round and empty my dustbin through your letterbox too.

Don't do it.
