Volume Without Precision Is Just Noise

Consistent Follow Through

Structured cadences so prospects do not fall through the cracks.

What Our Cold Calling Service Covers

Outbound Prospecting

Trained sales agents make outbound calls to your target prospect list, introducing your company and qualifying interest.

Your calendar fills with qualified conversations without you touching the phone.

Script and Messaging Development

We work with you to build and refine call scripts that reflect your brand voice and value proposition.

Every call sounds like your company, not a generic script.

Lead Qualification and Scoring

Filtering prospects by budget, timeline and fit so your closers only talk to the best opportunities.

Your sales team's close rate goes up because every conversation starts warm.

How It Works

Account and script setup

We start with your offer, your objections, and your ideal prospect profile. Scripts are built around how your team actually talks to customers, not a generic template.

Live calling with weekly review

Callers work from your calendar and CRM. Call recordings and a weekly performance summary go back to you so you can hear exactly what prospects are saying.

Handoff to your closers

Warm leads are qualified and scheduled directly on your team's calendar, with call notes attached so nothing gets repeated on the first sales call.

Who This Is For

This service fits sales teams that have a good product but not enough hours in the day to prospect consistently. It works well for companies selling into small and mid-sized businesses, where a real conversation still beats an automated sequence.

Common Questions

Do you use scripts or improvise?
Both. We start from a script built for your offer, then callers adjust based on how the prospect responds. Rigid scripts sound read off a page, so callers adapt the wording to each conversation.
How do you handle do-not-call lists and compliance?
We scrub call lists against do-not-call registries before any calling begins and follow the calling regulations of the region you are targeting.
Can I listen to calls?
Yes. Call recordings are available to you, and we review a sample together in the weekly check-in.

How Pricing Works

Cold calling runs as a dedicated team engagement: you get named callers assigned to your account for a flat monthly rate, not a per-call or per-minute meter. The rate depends on how many callers you need, the hours you want covered, and how specialized the training is. That structure matters because it changes caller behavior. An agent paid to burn through a list dials fast and sounds like it. An agent on a dedicated account is measured on conversations that go somewhere.

Philippines Outsourcing vs. In-House for Cold Calling

An in-house SDR in the US typically costs several times what a dedicated Philippine caller does once salary, benefits, tools, and management time are counted, and they still spend half their day on non-calling work. A local call center quotes lower than a hire but usually prices per call or per hour with rotating agents who never build product knowledge. The dedicated-team model sits between: lower cost than the hire, with the account familiarity the per-call model never develops.

What This Pairs Well With

Cold calling rarely works alone. Most clients pair it with appointment setting so qualified conversations turn into booked meetings, and feed both from a clean list built by a lead generation specialist. If your CRM is a mess before the calls start, a CRM administrator keeps the pipeline honest.

How much does outsourced cold calling cost?
Pricing is a flat monthly rate per dedicated caller rather than per call or per minute. The exact figure depends on coverage hours, team size, and training depth, which is why we scope it on a discovery call instead of publishing a one-size number that would be wrong for most businesses.
How many calls per day can one agent make?
A trained agent working a clean list typically completes 60 to 100 dials a day, but we would rather you judge the service on conversations and booked outcomes than raw dials. Volume without precision is just noise.
telemarketing

Outsourced Telemarketing From the Philippines

Outsourced telemarketing covers more than first-touch cold calls. eleVAte BPO callers in Dumaguete City handle B2B and B2C outbound work for companies in the US, Canada, the UK and Australia: introducing a company to new prospects, calling back people who asked for information and reactivating past customers.

Each program runs on a dedicated team rather than a shared pool, so the callers on your account are the same people week after week. They work your hours, inside your CRM and calling platform, from the list you approve.

  • B2B outbound: Calls to owners, office managers and department heads, qualifying fit against the criteria your sales team sets.
  • B2C outbound: Calls to consumers who already have a relationship with your company or have given the consent your program requires.
  • List work: Checking numbers, removing duplicates and flagging records your rules exclude before a list goes live.
  • Follow-up calls: Second and third touches on prospects who asked for a callback, replied to an email or downloaded something from your site.
program scope

What a Cold Calling Program Includes

When companies compare cold calling services, the dial is the smallest part. A program with eleVAte BPO is built in five parts.

  1. List preparation. Your target list is loaded, cleaned and segmented by the fields that matter to your offer, such as industry, region, company size or past purchase.
  2. Script build. Openers, qualifying questions, objection responses and voicemail wording are written with your sales lead and approved before any live calls.
  3. CRM logging. Every attempt, outcome and note is recorded against the right contact in your CRM, so pipeline reports reflect what actually happened on the phone.
  4. Call review. Team leaders and internal QA listen to a sample of calls each week and score them against the script and your qualification rules.
  5. Weekly reporting. A short report covers dials, conversations, qualified prospects, booked meetings and the objections heard most often, with suggested changes to the list or script.

Booked meetings go straight onto your closers' calendars. For a full meeting-booking service see appointment setting, or add a dedicated sales development representative who owns a territory end to end.

call structure

A Sample Cold Call Flow

Most calls follow a four-part structure. Illustration for a company selling field service software to contractors:

  1. Open. The caller gives their name and your company name, and confirms they are speaking with the owner or operations lead.
  2. Reason. One sentence on why they are calling: contractors in the area are moving dispatch and invoicing into a single app.
  3. Question. An open qualifying question, such as how jobs are scheduled today and what happens when a technician runs late.
  4. Next step. A specific ask based on the answer: a short demo with your account executive, a callback at a better time, or removal from the list.

More worked examples are in our guide to cold calling scripts.

time zones

Calling Hours Coverage by Market

The Philippines runs on a single time zone (UTC+8) with no daylight saving time, which keeps shift planning predictable. Callers are scheduled so their shift lines up with your prospects' business day. The table shows typical alignment; the Philippine times move by one hour when the target market changes its clocks.

Target marketProspect business hoursPhilippine shift (approximate)
US Eastern and Canada (Toronto, Montreal)9am to 5pm local9pm to 5am or 10pm to 6am
US Central9am to 5pm local10pm to 6am or 11pm to 7am
US Pacific and Canada (Vancouver)9am to 5pm local12am to 8am or 1am to 9am
United Kingdom9am to 5pm local4pm to 12am or 5pm to 1am
Australia (Sydney, Melbourne)9am to 5pm local6am to 2pm or 7am to 3pm

Programs that call several markets can split shifts, for example an afternoon block for UK prospects and an overnight block for US prospects.

calling rules

US Calling Rules, in Plain Language

Outbound calling into the US is governed by federal rules, and some states add their own. The team works inside the rules and lists your company sets. The federal basics:

  • National Do Not Call Registry: Consumers can register their numbers, and sellers and telemarketers covered by the FTC Telemarketing Sales Rule must check their calling lists against the registry on the schedule the rule sets.
  • Calling hours: Under the Telemarketing Sales Rule, telemarketing calls to consumers are limited to 8am to 9pm in the time zone of the person being called.
  • Consent records: The TCPA sets consent requirements for autodialed and prerecorded calls, including prior written consent for many telemarketing calls to cell phones, so consent records need to be kept and easy to find.
  • Company do-not-call list: Anyone who asks not to be called again is added to your company list and removed from future campaigns.

Your company decides which lists may be called, which consent applies and which numbers are excluded, and callers work within those settings. This summary is general information, not legal advice; your counsel should confirm the rules that apply to your program.

More Questions About Cold Calling and Telemarketing

What is the difference between telemarketing and cold calling?
Cold calling usually means first contact with a prospect who has no prior relationship with your company, most often in B2B sales. Telemarketing is the broader term for selling or promoting by phone, and includes calls to existing customers, past inquiries and consumers. eleVAte BPO teams handle both, with the script and calling rules set for each list.
Who owns the call list, the CRM records and the recordings?
You do. The team works inside your CRM and calling platform under accounts your company controls, so lists, notes and recordings stay in your systems. If the engagement ends, nothing needs to be handed back because it never left your accounts.
How are cold calling results reported?
You receive a weekly report with dials, conversations, qualified prospects, meetings booked and the most common objections, plus notes from call review. Your team leader walks through it at a regular check-in and proposes changes to the list or script based on what the calls show.

Stop Letting Prospecting Eat Your Team's Selling Time

If outreach keeps sliding to the bottom of the list, hand it to a team that won't let that happen.
