“GSA Marketing worked with us on a test campaign to assess the viability of an outbound sales function in what is a relatively niche sector (outdoor learning residential breaks for Special Educational Needs schools) for our centre in the Lake District. The target market was Teachers or Special Needs Coordinators within schools and colleges, with us providing contact details, albeit un-validated, from our existing database – a combination of organisations who had enquired but never visited, or lapsed. We asked them to pitch for our business from a shortlist of potential suppliers and we chose them due to the bespoke attention they paid to our enquiry, and once selected were very pleased with the personal attention they gave us at a senior level. Setting up the campaign with them was very straightforward and we were impressed by the level of reporting through the campaign and the quality of the calls made by their staff, with each call being recorded. Warm leads were passed to us to follow-up and the quality of the contact information supplied very good. The nature of our business is that 1st contact to booking is usually relatively long, but we were delighted that the month long… Justin Farnan, Business Manager (Sales and Marketing)

"ABC look to be the ideal company that we are targeting. They were of ideal size and slap bang in the middle of the target industry. He seemed to be very aware of why I was visiting and they will hopefully be a future customer..... If you can get me 100 more appointments just like this one, that would be absolutely perfect. Keep up the good work. We engaged GSA Business Development in March 2011 to help us generate new business opportunities for our Social Media services. Initially, GSA undertook a strategic review of our offering and worked with us to define both the target audience and the proposition. Having developed a targeted calling list, GSA senior level callers made telemarketing calls into blue chip organisations and have continuously made us high quality appointments with the types of companies we would wish to work with. Having also worked with GSA at my previous agency on several campaigns, I would highly recommend them if you need appointment setting and to generate new business opportunities with decision makers in blue chip organisations. In the short time that we have been working with GSA, I have been delighted with the level of service… Director

"GSA carried out a telemarketing campaign for us that was extended beyond original time frame. They provided our company with a first class service during that time and we would happily use them in the future for other telemarketing projects. Sam has been an absolute delight to work with during her time working on our telemarketing project. She understood our business incredibly well and also knew how to build relations with our target prospects. Her approach was perfect and she really was an extension of our marketing team. As a result of her calling we have a major PITCH with one of our top targets at end of June." Business Development Director
