TESTIMONIALS:

“The entire process with QCSS was highly organized. Your knowledge and ability to understand our needs was incredible. Our products are so complex and nuanced and your team just got it. It helped with the successfulness of the program. We are trying to increase our market share, and the campaign with QCSS was a tremendous resource in helping us get the visibility we need. It was really nice to hear that the agents enjoyed working on this campaign. I couldn’t have asked for the entire process to flow better”

“In my 16 years doing this - every year for our association client, we have to reset the stats to start a "new year" of data for the client, you are the 1st person to ever remember to do it by yourself without me telling you.  Unbelievable - you are absolutely the best.  Thanks for thinking for the client - not many call centers really care to think for me. “

iS YOUR ASSOCIATION LOOKING TO IMPROVE RESULTS?

Membership

Recruitment

You have a list of attendees from your annual event that are not yet members and you would like to recruit them into a full fledged member of your association. You need to communicate the value, benefits and savings they will have in attending other events if they join. You are ready to engage with these potential members, start a relationship and have them share information to help your member base grow. Telemarketing to this audience is the perfect way to continue your growth goals. QCSS can work with you to come up with campaign messaging and even a handwritten card that can convert new members that will be a part of your professional community for years to come.

Membership

Renewals

Memberships are the lifeblood of your organization and you need to keep your retention high. You are on an annual or rolling membership cycle of renewal and you vary your reminder communications. Digital renewals sent from your AMS system are not yielding the response and are often ignored. You need to call your members to reach them live, engage and remind them of their benefits. You need a resource that has experience that can represent your association brand and engage with you members to renew their memberships prior to lapsing. You want to collect information with a quick survey, confirm email addresses and update information. You are ready to get a solid ROI where the campaign funds itself.

Event Boosting & Registration

You have an annual event (online or in person) that you need to layer your marketing efforts to communicate with your members to save the date, share with their team and register. Digital marketing is not always reaching your audience and sometimes gets ignored. You need to build the volume of attendees to ensure your exhibitors have prospects that will walk the event floor to engage with them so they participate in future events. You have a sizable list of past attendees that you would like to call, nurture and convert to registrations and or drive potential attendees to the website. You want your event to be a total success and a telemarketing boost could make certain your members respond. 

Winback or Lapsed Marketing

Every month that goes by that your past members are no longer members, the value of their feeling of membership diminishes in time. You have a large volume of lapsed members from 6 to 12+ months that you would like to engage with and convert back before it’s too late. It’s easier to convert a past member than to recruit new members by winning them back, sharing the benefits and communicating over the phone with a special promotion. Telemarketing is the perfect way to make volume calls and convert members back cost effectively.

How QCSS Helped An Association With Membership Renewals
Achieve Engagement & ROI Goals

EMAIL RENEWALS NOT EFFECTIVE

The Association’s current marketing channels including email and direct mail, were beginning to decline. A percentage of members were not responsive to email, their most profitable renewal channel.

The Association’s current marketing channels including email and direct mail, were beginning to decline. A percentage of members were not responsive to email, their most profitable renewal channel.

Telemarketing Effectiveness?

The Association Executive Director had a bad experience with telemarketing in the past. They had used a nearshore telemarketing company several years prior to reaching out to QCSS and were left unimpressed with how their organization was represented.

Strategy & Training

QCSS worked together with the Association to develop program collateral that included member-engagement centric messaging. QCSS tenured agents were thoroughly trained, collaboratively with membership leaders to ensure association brand knowledge transfer and membership benefits were clearly articulated with the calling team.
