Customer Insight

Strengthen decision-making with phone-based customer surveys

Phone-based customer surveys are most powerful when they uncover depth, context and meaning. TTMC’s CATI research programmes deliver richer insight than digital-only methods by enabling natural, two-way conversations. Skilled agents explore sentiment, clarify responses and identify root causes, giving you a deeper understanding of customer needs, expectations and behaviours. This ensures your organisation captures the true voice of the customer.

Understand the full customer journey with pre- and post-sales insight

We conduct phone-based customer surveys across the entire lifecycle, revealing how customers think, feel and act at each stage. This helps you understand buying triggers, satisfaction drivers, friction points and opportunities to improve experience.

TESTIMONIALS

Customer Success Stories

Nexus Vehicle Management Ltd
“The qualification of appointments has been top class. Conversion rate from appointments made stands at 70% and for the first time in seven years of trading I believe we have truly found the right solution for building sales in a cost effective and efficient way. I’d tried my own in-house team on many occasions but the costs and time spent training staff drains time and resources. In an initial consultation and training session with The Telemarketing Company it was unbelievable how quickly their team understood the proposition.” Managing Director, Nexus

“It’s been excellent working collaboratively with TTMC. Having access to call recordings – especially in the pilot stage – was essential, as it allowed us to adjust the telemarketer’s approach and language.
