Are these conversations typically reactive or proactive?
Are they mostly order taking?
Do they generate activity that leads to additional revenue?
Do these conversations leave money on the table?

-
with an organized and dedicated inside selling group - inbound or outbound

Other very typical (unfortunately) scenarios of
unproductive phone conversations by inside staff, and
sometimes even dedicated inside sales folks:
-
Calls are relatively short – a minute or two – not long enough and sufficiently in-depth to build relationships and identify needs that lead to sales opportunities.
-
Inside staff is basically just responding to what is being said - not in control - not creative or leading in any way - unable to expand the conversation.
-
It's more of a PR effort - certainly not bad for business - but really not generating prospects.
-
On inbound, customer service/help situations - a reluctance to appear too much like a 'sales' person, to be 'pushy' and as a result, completely miss possible selling openings.
A more conversational (consultative) form of
telephone selling and program strategies can
address the shortcomings of these reactive calls.
-
It can can change the equation and help build and reinforce sales and marketing efforts and do more to grow the business.

Conversational (Consultative) Telephone Selling
This "consultative" method is applicable in any telephone conversation between company staff and customers or prospects – from administrative, clerical folks, customer service and obviously organized inside sales reps.
The "consultative" method is an excellent tool for reducing selling costs, building relationships, and using any inside staff to better penetrate the marketplace and generate new business by telephone.
Consultative, value-added selling is based on getting the contact to talk, and it cannot be accomplished in a two- or three-minute span of time. It is vastly different from the typical "telemarketing" approach and more comparable to an effective face-to-face sales call, except it's executed by phone.
It is much more productive than a typical, reactive customer service call.
In many cases, with the proper approach, inbound calls can comfortably be converted to such much more useful conversations.
