Typing from small cellphone so many appologies for goofy typing.

Last week i decided to hire a company to make calls for me to just setup appt for. It's called .... Well i dont wanna name names. Anyway they have audio of all thier sales ppl onwebsite so u can choose who ever suits you. They all have slight accent, probably eastern europe but all sounded very prof. So i picked one of them for $520+ to work for 40hrs. I thought the price was high for me but for the # of hrs its pretty good.

She started on last wed, thurs, & fri without a single appt. I'm not trying to point faults but maybe it can help some of the readers avoid my mistakes. However, she'll still work mon & tue so ill update the results here . Please o please pray for me. I'm tired of barely surviving on 1 dr for 3%.

I know its low, but needs & nessssty can kick a healthy egos' butt anyday. Bye for now, will update later.

I feel your pain barely surviving on the few clients I have so I to decided to hire someone to work part-time @ 20 hours a week from home I posted a ad on the craig list and got alot of response some was over qualified for the pay I was offering at 7.25 and hour plus $25.00 for each appt she set. shes starting Tues so I will definately keep you all informed how it worked for me. I am trying all my marketing stragies possible I have done direct Mail and have sent out about 200 mailers for the month of March no response I have answered ads for Billers about 10 I had one response but they were not interested I am networking with some of my software peopele I have a Lytec Rep and I know someone who works for Medisoft I also have a client who is helping me put together a mailer for some of her collegues she know that may be interested in billing. One thing I can say for sure Marketing is not easy. But failure is not a option for me and I am going to try all resources until I find the one that works best for me. I will update you all on Fri to let you know how  well my part-time telemarkter did.

Are you apart of your city's/county's chamber of commerce or apart of any other associations?  There are medical billing associations that you can join as well as other associations out there to help you market and network. 

I know it's hard, trust me but I know all of the hard work will pay off in the end.  I am doing all of my marketing and website design stuff myself. I am going to get the girl I had design my store website template design this template.

Michele:
For that price did they give you any guarantee?  Like at least 3 appts, or 5 appts?  Just seems like how do you really know they are even calling???

Tammy, let us know how that works for you.  I like the idea of them being rewarded for getting the appt.  Incentive goes a long way.

No Guarantees! And it was just plain stupidity on my part. My goal was to look for a professional looking site and sells appointment setting. I also love the fact that the caller sounded very professional and for the price, it only made sense that they are charging professional prices. But it's just stupidity on my part. Last last night their automated email came to my inbox asking to put more money in the account so that the appointment setting campaign doesn't pause.

I emailed back to the account rep that I can't unless I get some appointments for the money that I've already invested.
They have 7.5hrs of time left. I doubt she can give me even 1 appointment.
