Blue Donkey Intelligent Telemarketing Ltd

The Blue Donkey team have been an extension of our brand and are a joy to work with. They continue to deliver high level leads to our sales team and where every dollar matters when it comes to Marketing plans, this investment is worth every penny.

We have recently engaged Blue Donkey as a business and have been really impressed by their communication, knowledge and desire to immerse themselves in the detail required to make our campaign successful. Charlene has done a great job. We have used other businesses in the past and Blue Donkey are head and shoulders above those.

I worked at Blue Donkey between 2015 - 2018. I begun working here whilst studying for my undergraduate degree. Firstly, owners Sureya and Paul were extremely understanding and supportive of my education and offered flexible working hours whilst studying. I started working part time and on completion of my degree I moved to full time. As this is a family run business, you don't get made to feel that you're just a number; they are happy to provide you with flexible working hours if required.

Within the job you are responsible for 'intelligent telemarketing, ' where you are responsible for cold calling and lead generation on behalf of a range of mid to large cap corporate clients across a number of sectors including finance, life sciences, retail, and engineering. This job is not easy, you have to deal with high pressure, targets and rejection from prospects.

Although this is telemarketing, these are the basis skills required of a sales role. Within the job you will be responsible for approaching very senior prospects on behalf of your clients including directors, CEOs and COO's to introduce their products and services. Blue Donkey works with different sized organisations all the way from medium sized enterprises to large listed international organisations and will offer the same level of professionalism to every client.

This job gives you the skills to be extremely versatile. Whilst working here I gained the ability to confidently sell over the phone, gather information, market a product with detail and precision, handle rejection, work to targets, handle pressure as well as having exposure to senior and well respected clients and prospects and an insight to a range of different sectors. Sureya had previous experience working in large organisations in London before establishing Blue Donkey, and both herself and Manager Charlene are exceptional at their jobs and whilst working with them I learnt very valuable work skills and sales methods.

I made the decision to leave because I wanted to move to London and work on an commission basis. Due to the skills that I gained at Blue Donkey it meant that I was a very attractive candidate for sales and recruitment roles in London because of my experience working in a high intensity job role and the sectors covered. Within 2 years of working in recruitment in London I am earning 6 figures annually and I believe Blue Donkey contributed considerably to my skills, resilience, confidence, knowledge, abilities and my attractiveness as a candidate when I did look to move on. I would highly recommend to anyone studying or looking to pursue a career in sales, marketing or recruitment.

Blue Donkey are an absolute pleasure to work with; they are very passionate about what they do and never disappoint. They have become an invaluable resource to us over the years and we look forward to our future projects with Charlene and the team.

I worked for Blue Donkey having come straight out of University in the summer of 2012 and am very glad that I did. Sureya and Paul were fantastic to work for, and the team they employed at the time were a joy to work along side. The team I worked with consisted of full time career focused individuals, as well as flexible working full time parents, which was really nice to see a business providing flexible working conditions for valued employees.

The professional, as well as life lessons I learnt and took away from my time at Blue Donkey are what I hold dear to me 7 years on and i'm very appreciative of the time that was invested in me as an individual. I would recommend either working with or working for Blue Donkey, the time they invest in their staff as well as their clients is in my opinion unrivalled within their sector and I wish them every success in the future.

I have worked with Blue Donkey for over 10 years. Taking them with me when I changed business roles. They are streets ahead of any other telemarketing organisation I have ever worked with. Very professional, always provided sound advice and always deliver results. I would have no hesitation in recommending anybody who is considering using telemarketing to seek out Blue Donkey first.

I had the pleasure of engaging Blue Donkey while I was employed by Snap-on Diagnostics. They are both professional and a pleasure to work with. The results of the market research were delivered promptly and in a format that was easy to understand. I have no hesitation in recommending Blue Donkey.

Blue Donkey have been invaluable in growing our business. We have worked with Charlene and the team for a number of years and they continue to aid our success through quality leads into our business. I have no hesitation in recommending Blue Donkey for any business considering tele-marketing.

After using other companies that did'nt offer us the service we required, we came across Blue Donkey. For the last few years the team at Blue Donkey have been excellent, very professional and friendly. They are now an integral part of our business. Highly recommended.
