Telemarketer Jobs in Harrisburg, PA

A Telemarketer is responsible for soliciting sales for products or services over the phone. They generate interest, qualify prospects, and close sales by delivering prepared sales talks, reading from scripts that describe products or services. These professionals also obtain customer information, record customer details including reaction to the product or service presented, and enter and update customer information in the database. They are crucial in the sales industry as they often serve as the first touchpoint for potential customers, thus setting the tone for the customer's overall experience with the company.

An exceptional Telemarketer should have excellent communication and persuasion skills, a patient and persistent nature, and the ability to handle customer rejection gracefully. Some certifications that can aid in this position include the Certified Inside Sales Professional (CISP) and the Certified Professional in Inside Sales (CPISI). Prior to becoming a Telemarketer, an individual may have held roles such as a Sales Associate, Customer Service Representative, or Call Center Agent, which provide valuable customer interaction experience and the foundational sales skills necessary to excel in telemarketing.
