Last fall, [Statflo ](https://www.statflo.com/)conducted a [comprehensive survey](/blog/the-benefits-of-benchmarking-data-learn-how-you-fare-against-the-competition) to uncover key data points on how businesses in wireless are using outreach in their marketing and sales initiatives. After surveying 140 operators and wireless retailers, Statflo’s report finds that 6 out of 10 wireless businesses plan to increase their budget for customer outreach programs in 2020. Take a sneak peek at the findings below! And join us on February 6th for the full results of the 2020 Customer Outreach Benchmark Report over [a live, 30-min webinar](https://hubs.ly/H0mFmpK0). We’ll break down the strategies and tactics that power a winning outreach program in 2020. ## Key findings from the report Outreach has shifted from a check-the-box, informal sales tactic to a strategic function that is critical to driving revenue growth and customer satisfaction. Here’s a look at some of the findings that surfaced: - Top-performing outreach programs contribute to as much as 21% of total sales revenue. - Improving the customer experience and increasing the number of new subscribers are two of the highest sales priorities in 2020. - 9 out of 10 businesses already incorporate some form of text messaging in their outreach. - 60% of businesses plan to increase their budgets for customer outreach programs, which indicates a high level of optimism with their results. - Only 40% of businesses have a formal compensation plan tied to outreach and satisfaction scores are low across leadership, field management, and front-line staff. To thrive in 2020, operators and wireless retailers will need to get creative with their outreach strategies as a result of generational changes to preferred methods of communication, consumer expectations for a better retail experience, longer device upgrade cycles, and lowered foot traffic to brick-and-mortar retail stores. ## Want to learn more about the data?
