A professional telemarketer is a person who is trained to do direct marketing over the phone or through other means that would require the agent and the person they are speaking with to be in direct conversation. This usually involves the use of a telephone or the use of our computers to call other people additional resources. This is used by technology savvy professional telemarketing companies all over the world in order to contact their prospect customers. Professional telemarketers would always undergo training in order to meet the desired requirements requested upon them from the various companies needing their service. The training for the agents for these professional telemarketing companies would range from language and dialect training, to the product or service training in order to familiarize themselves as to what they will be advertising and will eventually sell to their clients. As much as possible, telemarketing call centers must keep the language barrier between the call center agent and the person receiving the call to a minimum. If not, both persons within that call will not be able to understand each other and will either result into one or both to be frustrated and hang up the phone. If the purchasing of the product or service is completed, there is a high possibility that a mistake will be made. Keeping the language barrier to a minimal state is important for it will provide better understanding and customer relations, especially if the person at the receiving end of the call is part of a larger business firm. In order to keep the language barrier to a minimum, most professional telemarketing agents use the English language in order to communicate with their leads and clients since it is the widely used language all over the globe. Professional telemarketers can be classified into categories. They can be either in inbound, outbound, sales, or lead generation teams.

1.Inbound Telemarketers
These are the call center agents that handle procedures of incoming orders and for clients who are in need of various types of information. Agents in this category do very little or no sales persuasion at all since that has been done by outside salespeople or other media. It is also because the people who are calling inbound telemarketers have already decided to purchase their products or services prior to the call.

2.Outbound Telemarketers
These agents call various leads and clientele in their lists for various reasons. These reasons may involve sales but there are times that professional outbound agents call their leads to advertise the products and services that they provide. Some outbound telemarketing agencies gather surveys and feedback for the business firms that require their services.

3.Sales Telemarketers
These are the ones whose sole responsibility is to sell the products and services of the company that hired their services. Most of these types of telesales agents are trained and have very persuasive scripts in order to get the required amount of sales.

4.Lead Generation Teams
Lead generation means to find prospect clients for companies and business firms. The agents assigned into this type of category will call people to gather information and to find out whether or not the person at the receiving end of the call is interested in purchasing the products or services from the company.

Without professional telemarketers to support the needs of the company then it will not survive. That is why professional telemarketers will always be motivated and job oriented in order to get the job done.
