Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly is a AMTel Pro system ?
The AMTel Pro ™ System is both hardware and
software. The hardware consists of a specialized board that is
plugged into a slot on a dedicated computer system. The
board and software work together with your database, no matter
what that database consists of, to make outbound calls with a
pre-recorded message of your choice that can be changed at
anytime. The board and software also mediate any incoming calls.
In other words, you can use the AMTel Pro™ System for almost
anything!
Our complete System includes the following major components: A
dedicated CPU System, board, AMTel Pro
software.
The specialized board & software are not toys. If
you are not a technical person, and just want your system to make
you money from the day you receive it-then you are better off
having AMT assemble, configure and provide you with a complete
dedicated turn-key plug & play system.
We make it very easy to afford a complete
AMTel Pro System. In
fact, even if the small investment is more than you want to put
out right now--even though you need and want the System, we can
provide an easy low monthly payment leasing program. Your lease
will be approved usually within 1-2 days. In the event that you
are declined for a lease, we may offer you an alternative
rent-to-own options with a small initial deposit.
It's the most cost effective delivery of voice messages
(pre-recorded voice ads) then recording a response or just play
similar pre-recorded message (voice ads) to ten of thousands of
telephone numbers; such as the phone directory listing from
popular CD ROM's or your own customer database and totally
eliminates the need for manual "cold-calling" in only a
matter of hours at 1/1000th the cost of direct-mail or
traditional live telemarketers without all the hassle of training
them or the cost to keep them.
How many loans and how much origination
fee should I expect to generate from a AMTel Pro ?
A minimum 2 line AMTel Pro system is capable of
automatically dialing upto 2,500 calls a day. Assuming the
response rate is 1%. That means about 14 leads a day. Now let's
say you are a bad salesmen and you only close 10% of the leads.
You will close 1.4 loans a day. 1.4 x 30= 42. That's an
additional 42 loans a month. If you average a conservative
$1,000.00 in origination fee per deal. You should walk away clean
with $42,000.00 a month of pure cash-profits at a marketing cost
of only a couple of hundred dollars!
Keep in mind that the only people that will respond to your
are the people that are super interested in your offer or they
will just hang up. This is why a little 2 line system is capable
of producing such a high number of super qualified leads. The
ones that are not interested just hangs up so the can get to the
prospects that are very interested that much more quickly.
How can the AMTel Pro generate purchase
referral business from Realtors?
The generates tons of serious and motivated real estate
buyer/seller prospects. You as a loan officer simply qualify the
buyers for financing and refer them to your soon to be network of
top producing Realtors. You must only deal with top producing
Realtors or you will be wasting your time. This is the quickest
way to establish, strengthen and cultivate purchase business from
Realtors. Be rest assured that once this referral system has
kicked in high gear that you will have another super
income-lucrative part of the business you never dreamed of.
Can I use the AMTel Pro computer for
something else while it's on out-bound dial mode?
Yes, since it operates under windows
multi-tasking capability. You can use other windows programs such
as word processors, utilities, games, whatever to make productive
use of your time while it's running and producing leads. You can
even use the voicemail auto attendant to automate your office
incoming phone calls while it's running in out-bound mode. Each
phone line can be set to either out-bound, in-bound or fax
broadcast. So line 1 can be making out-bound calls while line 2
is answering incoming calls.
What other types of successful
marketing methods can the AMTel Pro be used for?
The system can also be used for valuable survey campaigns to
test the market demand for your product or services without
having you to spend a fortune on advertising or direct-mail then
wait weeks or even months to find out if it works or not. It
saves you valuable time and money. A survey is a very powerful
and effective approach and generates an overwhelming number of
responses.
It can also be used for appointment setting. For example
doctors use it to confirm appointments. If you have 20
appointments next week. You just record a simple out-bound
message with your voice and click with a mouse and the system
will automatically call and confirm 20 appointments for you in
less than 15 minutes. It can be used to inform hundreds or
thousands of your potential customers the changing market place
to stay in touch, gain repore, trust and ultimately the sale.
Another very valuable and highly successful marketing method
is to use the system to follow up with the leads once a week or
once a month for 12 consecutive months. This is a great way to
generate immediate sales and to make the community aware of your
company. This will create an unfair advantage for you because you
can advertise to your community on a daily, weekly or monthly
basis over and over again without spending a dime again on
expensive print advertising, direct-mailings, radio spots/tv
commercial. This is the cheapest form of advertising available on
this planet.
It can also be used for recruiting sales people establishing
new branch offices down the block or 1,000 miles away.
The possibilities are endless!!!
Do you provide me with the time tested
scripts for out-calling campaigns?
Just because you have an AMTel Pro system doesn't mean you will
be successful. That's why we provide you with not just a script
but complete campaigns ARM refi's (targeting Refi's, FSBO's, b-d credit
prospects, Home-equity (loan consolidation), ARM home owners (ARM
audit) Purchases & general loan prospects) using a very
powerful and proven time-tested indirect selling strategy. Why?
Because it generates 3-5 times more leads than any other method.
This strategy generates 300%-500% more responses than a outdated
traditional pre-recorded script because the prospect knows he/she
does not have to speak to a salesman. The campaigns consists of a
pre-recorded script template, the free report to send to
prospects and a sample none threatening toll free 800 # response
mechanism so prospects can respond without pressure. The response
mechanism automatically captures the callers phone number so no
telephone number is requested. The advanced mortgage originators
marketing system goes into detail.
How many different configurations in
hardware and software does the AMTel Pro system come in?
The AMTel Pro comes in several models. The most basic model;
AMTel Pro Kit consists of the AMTel Pro software and the 2 line board hardware. This allows the customer
to install a minimum system on a computer of their choice. This
system provides you with all of the attributes of the larger
systems but without a larger number of phone lines or a CAS
compatible fax board. (WARNING: You must be a trained computer
technician to be able to install the board and configure
the software to run properly. This is not a toy, do not attempt
to do this if you have no prior computer technical background.)
The next model; AMTel Pro 2000 provides the customer with a
turn-key plug & play system ready to generate leads and make
you money right out of the box , i.e., complete computer,
operating system, 2-line board and AMTel Pro software
all fully assembled, installed and configured. Recommended model
for non computer technical persons.
The third option provides a more industrial grade of system;
large UPS power supply for power brownouts or power interruptions
plus larger hard disk drive and a 4 line communications card and
a CAS compatible fax board (for fax-on demand). The fourth system
option are more than 4 lines and are custom systems for
integration to companies PBX system or network connectivity, etc.
inquiries are handled on a quote basis only.
What computer systems can the
AMTel Pro™ AMTel Pro Kit operate on?
AMTel Pro software and card can be
installed and operate on any IBM compatible PC. Minimum
configuration should be a 1.2 Ghz processor, 64 MB of memory and a 15 Gig hard disk. The operating system should be Windows
2000 Professional.
What is the maximum number of telephone
lines that I can utilize in one system box?
AMTel Pro can operate with up to 24 separate telephone lines
divided into any combination of input or output lines on a
standard PC box. An industrial chassis system is available that
facilitates up to 64 lines on one box.
Can I use customer information directly
from my data- base such as customer contact or accounting
applications software?
Because of the diversity of applications software,
AMTel Pro
cannot, at the moment, directly access other types of database
software. The basic parts of the database consist of a date/time
stamp, telephone number and I.D. number. A customer can export an
ASCII list consisting of these fields from their company database
and import it into AMTel Pro (very easy to do) or download a list of
as many phone numbers from any popular CD phone directory such
as; Pro CD included FREE with any order.
Will the AMTel Pro be able to record a
response from my prospect when it has the person on the phone ?
Yes, the AMTel Pro system is designed with a tree structure
mailbox system. This means that the user of the system has an
unlimited amount of flexibility in setting up and soliciting
responses from their targeted prospects. As an example, after
contacting the prospect you may want a certain amount of
information from them. You could provide a menu of; lets say,
three options to choose from. The customer may select option
three and at this point you may want to give them more options to
select from or ask them a question. The answer to the questions
can be accepted as a verbal response or a phone touch-tone
response. After the customer answers the question you could
provide them with more options for selection or continue your
question answer session.
When you start designing these sort of systems a large hard
drive is recommended because sound files take up a lot of room.
You can listen and note your customer's responses later or store
them for future reference. A contact report is also generated
telling you if a live person answered the phone, an answering
machine answered the phone or no contact was made at all. The
AMTel Pro will continue to call the unanswered calls until you
discontinue the call list or all calls are answered in one form
or another.
One word of caution when placing automated outbound calls.
It's best to keep only 1 or 2 options at the most simple so not
to confuse the prospect with too many options. It will confuse
the prospect and he or she will hang up even if they were
interested.
Is there a warranty on the AMTel Pro
system?
Yes, the card comes with a 1
yr
warranty. The computer comes with a 1 year free parts and
labor warranty from the manufacturer. The AMTel Pro software comes
with a life-time warranty. Since the system is an open telephony
architecture. It is very easy to fix or replace the systems main
components. There's really no other moving parts in the entire
system except for the hard drive. So if the hard drive breaks
down just replace it with another one. A typical computer system
has a life expectancy of 7 years to MTBF (Mean Time Before
Failure) of continued use. You should have 7 years of trouble
free operation before you might need to replace the main
components such as a power transformer or a key board. Since the
entire system uses off the shelf telephony and computer
technology. Most parts are stocked by almost every computer
supplier.
Is there any law against using this
sort of hardware and software to call people for telemarketing
purposes?
No, there is no law that makes this form of communication
illegal, the same, as there is no law, yet, to outlaw using the
Internet to send people information on a product or service.
There are laws against using any sort of technology in soliciting
a prospects for a scam or to "rip-off" a person - it is
called mail fraud, among other things. Of course anyone can use
the benefits of technology to offer or sell a legitimate service
or product and it is nearly impossible to not sell AMT to this
type of person if they misrepresent themselves to AMT.
There may be specific laws in various states under Consumer
Protection that specify particular types of harassment situations
that could involve the system. Because of the massive number of
people that the system can contact in a short time it is up to
the customer (you) to make this form of communication as
inoffensive as possible and not abuse the consumers privacy.
Certain ways of operation can be utilized in order to accomplish
this. The general rules are that you can only operate the between
the hours of 9am and 9pm. You can operate it 7 days a week. 52
weeks a year. You must keep a do-not-call list and remove the
telephone number from your calling list for good if the called
party requests that you do so and never call them again. (This
same rule applies to the traditional live telemarketing
solicitations as well.) These rules are set by the FCC. You may
consult your local authorities for any regulations or restricted
use when using the outbound features of a AMTel Pro System.
How long will it take for me to begin
getting qualified leads?
The AMTel Pro 2000 or 4000 Turn-Key Systems comes fully assembled
and configured out of the box. It will begin generating qualified
leads for you in as little as 1 hour, providing you already have
a list of phone number to dial. The do it yourself AMTel Pro system
PC kit will require a computer technician to install the boards into a 486 or higher computer and configure the
windows based software to operate correctly. It will take about
5-7 hours to do this.
You will never, ever have to make another pressure and
rejection filled cold-call, waste hundreds or thousands on
worthless risky advertising only to make the advertising reps
rich, beg real estate agents for loans, speak to unqualified loan
prospects ever again or spend countless hours speaking to
uninterested prospects again!
It's not uncommon for our mortgage originators to generate 3-4
qualified leads per hour when targeting a phone list...depending
on where and what kind of list you have.
A side from the AMTel Pro system we will provide you with tons of
marketing strategies, trade secrets and campaigns kits (with
scripts) targeting 1) Refinances and Purchase loans 2) Real
Estate home sellers, 3) Real Estate Home Buyers, 4) General
home-equity & 2nd mortgage 5) General loans, in our Advanced
Lead Generation course that are designed to help you quickly
umbrella an entire target market like: 1st time home buyers,
Ethnic markets, Refi's, FSBO's, Multi-million dollar residential
loans, Commercial loans, etc. You'll learn how to get these good
loan prospects to respond right now to your offer...and anxiously
await your return call!
Before I go on, I want to be sure you clearly understand the
AMTel Pro system will guarantee you qualified leads with no effort
in your part for as long as you own it! If you use it right!
How much will it cost to get the system
up and running??
A side from the electricity that it uses. The phone line
expenses involved in running the AMTel Pro system can range from as
little as $15-$20 a month for unlimited usage on one single phone
line on your local phone company's local flat rate calling plan;
make 1,000 call or 100,000 calls a month and it still costs only
$15-$20. Or 5 cents a call for calls outside of your local
calling area. (check with your local phone company for exact
rates.) It'll depend on where you want to target your market.
I'll explain.
What if I am working for myself, a small time broker firm or a
nationally recognized multi-billion dollar bank?
It doesn't matter who you work for. All that matters is that
you have the determination to win, to take the next step forward.
We will teach you the rest. We have helped loan officers in firms
ranging from the huge nationally recognized banks, to one person
mortgage brokerage firms, working out of their home. It just
doesn't matter.
Do you have a money-back guarantee so I
can return the kit or system if it is not what I had expected to
get?
Yes, with limitations.
Non-dynamic kit and system purchases do not qualify for our return policy (no
returns and no refunds on non-dynamic systems. Only applies to dynamic kit or
system purchases.)
You have within 45 days from the day you
received the product to get it back into our office for a refund. This 45 day
trial period is to reassure you that you are getting what you are paying for. NO
refunds are available on leases since leasing companies do not provide refunds
once a lease is funded. (Refer to updated faxed purchase contract/ order form
for return policy conditions/restrictions.)
