It is testimony to the quality of our service that our clients keep on coming back for re-orders time and time again. As with any service provider, if the service promised is not top quality as promised it is as easy to lose a client as it is to gain a client. This however has not been the case for Fill Your Diary. Many of our clients are now going "full time" with our services and are very impressed with the effect that this is having upon their sales team members and efficiency of thier sales cycle alike. We also have many clients rolling out our B2B appointment booking services across their wider sales teams.

The Fill Your Diary team have spent many months conducting deep market analysis within the appointment setting sector, we have also conducted "secret shopper" style information gathering, as well as obtaining feedback from clients and prospects.  Our conclusions are that we can confidently say that we offer the very best valued pricing structure for like-for-like services within our niche.
Add to this the personal aspect of our service offering, (the fact that we don't use call centres etc) and we make a very good choice for optimising your sales team's performance and stretching your sales budget overall.

This week has been a week packed with action and key milestones for Fill Your Diary. We have seen an influx of 3 strategic corporate clients booking trials for our appointment booking service. This is in addition to the base of core clients we have retained who use us each month. We have also had a major client roll out to full capacity following their successful trial. We have been published in a major American journal called the American Diversity Report, we have also managed to successfully grow our team with high calibre talent, this is a testimony to the hard work we have done and the solid company we are building. Fill Your Diary is positively buzzing, a hive of activity from a unified core team of people working cohesively together to achieve a common goal.

After much research, thought and deliberation as to the needs of our clients our new website is launched. It has been designed to give a pleasing impression and excellent overall end-user experience to all prospects who land on our web page. Our new website has also been designed in line with our new tailored marketing strategy to encompass our new blog, sticky content, SEO and several other marketing features to ensure broad background exposure and brand awareness and promote our niche of appointment setting.

It is an outstanding achievement for any business when demand steadily increases month on month. This has certainly been the case for Fill Your Diary's appointment setting services. As a team we have focused on being sustainable in order to keep our growth steady and maintain our high standards. We have now reached the point that we are looking for a Sales Director for the UK and more appointment setters. We have launched a tailored and pinpoint recruitment campaign to ensure that the calibre of our hires remains elite.

In order to support our ongoing expansion, Fill Your Diary are proud to announce the opening of 2 new offices in Europe. One is based in Italy, near Rome and the other is based in Spain near Malaga. This gives us further reach throughout the EMEA territories and a stronger presence to set appointments within the region.

Within just 2 months of our soft launch, we quickly received feedback that the service we offer is both timely and greatly valued as a tool for enhancing sales team productivity. Our results stood for themselves.

 Fill Your Diary has been careful to ensure our Company’s growth remains steady, in order to ensure the best service delivery. For this reason we believed it was important to raise investment funding to ensure the successful and sustainable growth of our business.

Due to our sustained growth within the appointment setting arena, we have looked to grow our team with a view to servicing our clients throughout the EMEA territory. We now offer appointment booking services in the following languages. English, German, Spanish, Dutch and Italian. Many of our appointment bookers are multilingual and this has proved to be an asset when setting appointments within Europe.

The Fill Your Diary team were delighted to welcome on board Eric Wilson as thier new chairman. Eric has over 28 years’ experience in the telecom and IT industries in Europe and North America, with a sustained track record of delivering sales and market share growth, including at Sylantro Systems where he was Regional President for EMEA, and 20 years with Lucent Technologies, where from 2002 he had responsibility as Sales Vice President for Lucent’s European Mobility business based in UK, successfully delivering growth in sales to mobile operators (including the world’s first commercial HSDPA deployment, in O2). Subsequently he was appointed Chief Operations Officer for the Europe Sales Region ($1.2b revenues).

This week marks a huge milestone in our growth. The soft launch of Fill Your Diary's appointment setting service has gone so well we have decided to go full steam ahead and officially launch and register Fill Your Diary as a company. We are now registered with Companies House as a legal entity, (company number 07031267) and have registered for VAT, (pending) we have also appointed Horwath, Clark and Whitehill, a top 10 accountant in the UK.

 

Fill Your Diary, a Business to Business appointment setting service, has been launched. Designed to ensure businesses get the most out of their sales people by giving them a full diary of sales meetings with their prospects. 

Kathryn Stevenson, Sales and Marketing Director, commented: "In 20 years of business and corporate sales, my biggest issue was always getting meetings with my prospects, so I could do my job – selling! Trade shows, advertising, mailshot's and website marketing are all great for raising your company profile, but how many times do they result in your sales guy sitting in your prospects office!
