TELEMARKETING DATABASE
Our school calling list is a comprehensive database of head teachers within UK schools. In addition to telephone numbers we also provide specific information you need to speak with them on the telephone.
Use our database to connect directly to the decision makers within schools with the greatest need for your products or services. You have 12 months to use the data, build awareness of your company and share the benefits of your products and services with schools. Use our list to demonstrate how your preferred school decision makers can help their students achieve the best outcomes.
Making direct, two-way contact by phone with head teachers and other decision makers in schools will generate a stream of new, high-quality, and closeable leads for your business.
More Than Words Marketing’s school calling list contains contact information for high-value decision makers within:
The list contains significant information to aid your telemarketing efforts which can include:
Our UK school calling list is primarily designed for use by a companies internal telemarketing team. If you don’t have an internal telemarketing team, you can still carry out a telephone campaign to schools.
More Than Words’ offers an experienced outsourced telemarketing service for generating leads, and opportunities from schools and educational establishments.
The primary objective of telemarketing to schools is to build profitable, mutually-beneficial, and long-lasting relationships between your company and target schools. Commercial relationships may involve Head teachers, Bursars, Business managers and others.
Selling to schools requires a little more groundwork than selling to businesses because teachers are often during traditional business hours.
By using your school calling list to arrange a face-to-face meeting offers the dual benefit of:
Your school telemarketing database is a great resource for carrying out market research using carefully scripted questions.
By taking this approach you are able to find information on:
All of this should offer you some guidance about the level of interest the sector might have in your products and services. Telemarketing can reveal more about each school on your list, who the main decision makers are, and buying behaviour /cycles. If they have a current supplier, a telemarketer can find out when their current contract ends. This will provide actionable intelligence for future targeted marketing campaigns.
Market research allows you to build up a picture of how the education sector works. This allows you to see how your companies products or services can fit into it.
To ensure success of your telemarketing campaign test a variety of different approaches. Use your segmented school calling list to try out different versions of the same message.
Record the results of each campaign and compare their performance, making adjustments as you go. Ideally, you would test everything from the overall message to the greeting or the order of what you say.
By doing this, you will be in the best place to judge the best-performing approach. This means that your staff can replicate the approach for future telemarketing to create the most successful campaigns.
Please call 0330 010 8300 or fill out the contact form and let us know about your company, what you sell, and the benefits your products and services deliver to the education sector.
We’ll then identify the schools most likely to purchase and we’ll support you as much as you need us to during the 12 months of your calling list database licence.
Our school calling list is a database (in Microsoft Access, Microsoft Excel, or comma separated value file format) of telephone numbers and decision maker information within UK education establishments.
You can choose to buy the entire database containing every school we have records for or just select those schools which are most likely to benefit from the products or services you sell.
With your school calling list, you can either give the data to your own telemarketing team to use or you can outsource it to a telemarketing services company to do the work on your behalf.
More Than Words has an in-house telemarketing team whose staff have extensive experience in promoting clients’ products and services to the schools market – please ask your account manager for more information when you get in touch.
Telemarketing and telesales are often interchangeable however, at More Than Words, we define the two as:
When using our calling list to contact schools, we would strongly recommend using telemarketing – we’d actively dissuade clients from using telesales techniques.
If you want advice on how to approach schools by phone so that you give your company the best possible chance of making the greatest return on your investment in marketing, please speak with one of our account managers.
In over 90% of cases, the contact on our school calling lists database is the head teacher. Where it is not, it will either be the deputy head teachers or, in some secondary schools, the school business manager.
Other decision makers in schools like heads of department and IT managers are not included on our school calling lists database.
If you wish to contact someone other than the head teacher within the school, we can provide you with this data. Please contact us and ask our account manager to run a count for you.

When your 12 months’ usage licence expires, you must stop using the database. If you wish to continue marketing to schools using our database service, you’ll need to purchase a new 12 month usage licence.
There are three exceptions to this rule though. You may still continue to contact decision makers on your school calling list if, as a result of receiving a phone call from your company:
Excellent Quality Data delivered promptly with great service. Has been a huge help during the current pandemic and will be using them regularly. The best I have ever dealt with. Account Manager Lisa Kinghorn is an asset to the business. Great company with superb customer service.
We've recently worked with Scott. He was outstanding from our initial conversation, through to data acquisition and subsequent email marketing campaign. I have nothing but good words to say about him, the company and the service they provided. I should add that we were a little hesitant before agreeing to work with Scott due to a bad experience with another provider. He was extremely empathetic towards our predicament and ultimately guided us through the onboarding and service delivery. He clearly knows he's stuff.
Having a very specific need for B2B marketing we decided to use More than Words. We spoke to Clare Tweed who was very knowledgeable and made the whole process very easy. Clare is easy to speak with, happy to help and I could not recommend her enough, she got our order sorted very quickly and delivered to us as agreed. A huge thank you to Clare and the team at More Than Words.
On behalf of myself and DOM UK, thank you to Clare and the team for making our customer survey process as straight-forward as possible. Reached out to the company after finding them using a Google search and was contacted back straight away. They used expert knowledge to help set-up our survey to achieve the best result possible. Would recommend and will be using More Than Words Marketing again.
