Telemarketing Tips

for Effectively Reaching Church Leaders!

• Since many Pastors take Mondays and/or Fridays off to rest from or prepare for ministry, the best days to call are Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. The best times to call are mornings, from 9:30 a.m. to noon.
   
• Identify which denominations will respond best to your product or service and the message you want to relay. The most active Churches with the highest growth rates generally are Assembly of God, United Methodist and Southern Baptist Churches.
   
• Geographically, the Southeastern region is the most responsive to telemarketing. These states in the nation's "Bible Belt" represent some of the fastest growing areas in the country.
   
• The easiest Churches to contact through telemarketing have an average attendance of 300 or more. Many Churches are smaller than this and don’t have full-time staff ... so expect "no answers" and answering machines.
