Data Offering Included?

TeleDirect - Pricing

The company website doesn’t have any mention of the pricing information for TeleDirect’s services, which can be frustrating for prospects who are looking to find out how much its services would cost them. Other websites also fail to provide any pricing information, the minimum project size, or average hourly cost. Potential customers would need to contact a company sales representative directly to find out the answers

TeleDirect Reviews

Although the TeleDirect call center claims to have worked with some of the largest companies in the world, there are no TeleDirect reviews to show for it on the company website. This can deter companies and prospects who are looking to work with TeleDirect to boost their exposure and lead generation strategies. Similarly, TeleDirect reviews are very scarce all over the Internet, and no popular client review website has any mention of the company’s services or performance. Therefore, prospects may have a difficult time deciding if they should choose TeleDirect to help them with calling services.

"As of right now, I’m extremely happy with them. The quality has been great. I was a little bit worried at first, but the research that they’ve done to get up to speed with what our quality lead or client would be has been good. We filled out a lot of paperwork for them to do the research and learn, and they’ve done a really good job. I have zero complaints."

I used Teledirect with just the simple answering service for 3 1/2 yrs. with few problems. Then there was an incident with the automated change in billing that didn't work once and I had to practically beg to get a credit. Then they said they had a problem with my credit card on file, which didn't happen with any other of our many accounts, and they immediately cancelled my service. Having the answering service available is very important - if it's a critical service for you, you might think twice about using this service. They didn't call me before turning off the service, they only emailed and I didn't see the email. That's not the kind of service I expected.
