In the movie Ferris Bueller’s Day Off there is a classic scene of Mr. Lorensax “Ben Stein” teaching a class on government. He’s droning on about the depression, tariffs, voodoo economics, he’s mind-numbing. He drones out questions which are met with silence and blank stares, Anyone? Anyone? He then answers his own … Read More
I am an owner of a Retirement Plan Advisory Business. I help corporations in all aspects of their defined contribution and defined benefit plans, or only on selective areas depending upon their need/preference. That said, since I am an Independent Registered Investment Advisor and not a major financial institution, I need to get my name out there somehow. That is why I have hired A Better Call. They are able to put me in front of the people that I need to speak with in order to be successful! Thanks to A Better Call I am working on a plan that has 30 million in assets and over 400 participants. We are going to be able to provide them with better service, objectively better investment options, at 55% less the current plan expense! It is an excellent opportunity for my firm and a far greater benefit for the client!

I found working with Maureen and her team at A Better Call a key ingredient to our early growth strategy when we were still trying to find our footing. She was a critical partner in helping us claw our way into a few early customers and that helped launch us to further growth. I would strongly recommend ABC if you are looking for a sales partner.

A Better Call helped us with a last-minute research project. We needed assistance nudging a group of small business professionals to take a survey that was crucial to our client. Maureen and her team exceeded my expectations, reaching out to potential respondents quickly and professionally, and making a big difference in the response rate. I would definitely use A Better Call again.

A Better Call has been very helpful to my business. COO’s and CFO’s are very busy people who are difficult to reach through networking and direct mail. With A Better Call’s Telemarketing Program, I have been able to meet with the right decision makers at my target companies.

I love Maureen and the team at A Better Call. They are awesome, ethical, and provide great service and produce results. What more could you ask for in a business partner?

I’ve used A Better Call for almost five consecutive years — and I’ve NEVER once regretted my decision. Over that time the telemarketers at A Better Call have gotten to know my admittedly complex product better and better every year. They’ve weeded out the non-prospects and pursued the actual prospects. The quality of appointment improves with every yearly cycle. When I arrive for the appointment, the prospect KNOWS I’m coming, KNOWS what the meeting will be about, and KNOWS what they want to achieve from our meeting. Seldom is there a mismatch.
I look forward to the NEXT five years of working together.
Jim Edholm President, BBI Benefits
A Better Call was an integral part of our go-to-market strategy for over two years. We have always been very pleased with the quality of service and the passion of the team. The team became an extension of our organization over time and always had our full confidence.
Willem Van Dijk, Stibo Systems
As a subsidiary of Real Software, we needed to penetrate the U.S. market quickly. A Better Call was instrumental in helping us introduce our software to the U.S. market. They were able to set qualified appointments for us and obtain meetings with key decision makers. We were very pleased with the campaign conducted for us.

Stybel Peabody Associates, Inc. provides HR-related services. Several years ago, I retained A Better Call to help me book meaningful sales meetings. One of those sales calls resulted in a meeting with the Chief HR Officer of a Fortune 500 company. It resulted in us providing leadership coaching to a VP who was slated to become the next CEO of this company. That company became a valued client of ours for four years. At the time, I would not have even tried to make an appointment with a person at such a large company: we are too small, they probably have their own internal resources, etc. Thank you “A Better Call!!”
I have nothing but positive things to say about the staff at A Better Call. They are diligent, courteous, and effective.
I bet you do not like to get telemarketing messages. Companies continue to use telemarketing for one reason: it works when used consistently as part of a broader sales campaign.
Give A Better Call an opportunity to make a positive impact on your business!

A Better Call was always great with answering our calls and communicating with us. They were very professional, met our timelines and did a great job of securing solid leads for our company.

On Target Maintenance has been using the services of A Better Call, (ABC)for well over two decades!
In the beginning, when Eric and I first got into business, we tried other business development companies with similar services. Most of the “other guys” were these large companies where there were many people working our account without great success. On Target Maintenance, A fledgling company at that time, needed more than just “Someone to Dial”! None of the other business development companies were able to match the personalized service we received from Maureen and her team at ABC!
We needed a partner. A company that actually cared about the relationship we were going to build together. Most importantly, they cared about the relationship we would then build with those potential clients. We needed someone to track those potential clients and then follow up with them in one week or one year as needed. That’s what we found at ABC…
It was the equivalent of having a personal assistant. I was able to inform Vicki, the individual I was working with, about our company, our strengths, our business model, what we actually did, as well as a host of other details she needed to make the call meaningful to the potential client. Vicki, also informed me of appointments in real time, even calling me directly, if needed, to work out meeting schedules to fit both the potential client and myself. This service is what hooked OTM on ABC!
Then the results started coming in. In fact, we are still doing business with several of the original companies that ABC set appointments with so many years ago! The Team at ABC has been instrumental to the growth of On Target Maintenance throughout the years.
When we first started our business 25 years ago, our budget was not large, in fact we had virtually no budget for calls. However, we knew it was a necessity. We started with just 10 hours a week. Maureen and her Team made sure those hours were spent wisely: if something wasn’t going as well as ABC thought it should, perhaps the list we supplied didn’t have accurate numbers or a host of other reasons, the team at ABC didn’t just keep calling. They directed us to better lists and other options and in many cases that was what was needed.
ABC makes the appointments, but then it is up to us, the sales team, to make the sale. We have been very fortunate in our business to have the combination that works.
Maureen has been much more than just a business associate, over the years we have become friends, knowing all about each other’s families, when children and grandchildren were born, or when loved ones passed. I have always felt that this is an important part of business, and unfortunately this is missing from the work environment of today.
I can wholeheartedly recommend ABC to any business, large or small. Thank you, Maureen and the entire Team at ABC. We couldn’t have done it without YOU!!!
Michael Pappas, V.P. of Business Development – On Target Maintenance
I have worked with Maureen and the staff at A Better Call for at least 15 years or more and I am the happiest client that she could ever have. She made my company so successful. I also love that she works so hard and gets the job done for her client. She is amazing. They work so hard! I enjoy every time I work with her. A Better Call can bring so much growth to your company.
