Despite the doom and gloom over the last few years, we are now starting to see the resurgence of outbound. However, it has now transformed and is smaller and cleverer. Prospects are targeted more accurately, the agents speaking to them are more professional and the message being delivered is far more in tune with the individual needs. We examine the chequered history of B2C outbound and look at what it holds for the future.Of course, some of the UK’s more professional
