    there are 1000s of outbound call centers in india who at night call usa phone numbers (phone leads)

    and try to make a sale or generate a lead.. all via voice over ip

    can i use this phone leads call them up and close a sale or generate a lead for affiliate programs.. like ones we see in cj.com etc..


    mortgage lead
    bad credit/credit repair lead
    loan leads
    student loan leads

    or it will be like spamming them and i will be kicked out of affiliate programs for doing so..

    I wouldn't dare get involved with that kind of marketing. You should focus on obtaining the leads yourself, through your website or Adwords.

    Would you like to be called up by some 'stranger' ?

    Focus on real contacts and real relationships.

    Telemarketing = Spam

    I agree with admarket on this, I have been called many times by telemarketers trying to sell me
    things that I'm not interested in. When I spoke nicely and I said I'm not interested they would
    always continue speaking trying to force their product / service on me. This is extremely annoying
    I got angry on many occasions and I hung up the phone on them.

    You should try to use some type of ethical method of marketing, don't do telemarketing.

    Anyway as you can see telemarketing is not a good way of marketing.

    I think Adwords more effective than telesales :)

    Bullshit!!

    Telemarketing and cold calling have done my new business wonders!!

    I did a 5 page website for xx xxx euros using good telemarketers. they weren't indians though

    People here have forgotten the power of offline marketing...

    We use B2B telesales here regularly. No harm with that! And it helps with a lot of sales, especially if you are going for bigger ticket items (i.e. not $17 ebooks).

    I'd avoid calls to people's homes, though, especially in the USA.With Do Not Call lists, you get be fined - in a BIG way, if you don't carefully run your lists through their system to weed out Do Not Call numbers on a regular basis.
