EDUCATION SECTOR

We work with colleges, universities, training providers and education sector suppliers to help them meet their business development objectives.

SELLING TO SCHOOLS

Our education telemarketing helps our clients increase sales within the school market. Our proven model overcomes the challenges of reaching and converting decision-makers within schools, relieving pressure on your sales team, and filling their diary with qualified appointments.

We’ve delivered hundreds of successful campaigns in the sector for some of the UK’s largest education suppliers, from publishers and awarding bodies to playground manufacturers and residential education services.

UNIVERSITIES

We work with universities and other publicly funded bodies to help them hit their business engagement targets. By pinpointing relevant, eligible and interested businesses, we can free up your time to focus your energies on working with businesses which are genuinely engaged.

Whether your focus is knowledge transfer, business growth, innovation, CPD, degree apprenticeships or employability, we’ve delivered successful campaigns in all these areas – and more.

COLLEGES & TRAINING PROVIDERS

Our employer engagement telemarketing helps colleges and training providers engage local employers with skills and apprenticeship provisions. We target the right employers, with the right message, at the right time. By filling your pipeline with relevant, eligible, and interested employers, you can focus on employers who are already engaged.

Whether you’re targeting levy payers or non-levy businesses, promoting apprenticeships, T-Levels, or short courses, we can help design a bespoke employer engagement campaign to generate the results you need.

We also support learner-facing teams with enrolment campaigns and destination surveys to provide overflow capacity during peak times and reduce pressure internally.

BUILT ON TRUST + EXPERIENCE

With an award-winning team boasting more than 100 years of combined experience, we have a proven track record of delivering successful telemarketing campaigns for our clients. Our expertise and success are a testament to our ability to deliver results.

Our tried-and-tested model is underpinned by three key ingredients: effective data segmentation, an experienced delivery team, and a responsive, results-focused approach to campaign strategy.

Our B2B telemarketing is built on personal interaction, not a rigid script. We provide real engagement, which generates tangible results and a strong ROI. We value each interaction and are passionate about our work.

And our focus on employee well-being and development has resulted in industry-leading employee retention rates and a wealth of accumulated experience. This gives us our human approach to telemarketing, ensuring you feel understood and valued.

In addition to our telemarketing services, we offer various research services. These services give you a deeper understanding of your customers, prospects, and the market landscape, enabling you to make more informed strategic decisions.
