Why Outsource? Outsourcing solves many of the systemic problems associated with internal telephone-based lead generation operations, while providing flexibility and specialized management.  For an in-depth examination of these issues, please contact us and request our White Paper: "Sales Lead Discovery and Qualification - Insource or Outsource?" What to Avoid In theory, outsourcing offers better value.  In practice, many companies become disillusioned after experiencing results that do not live up to their expectations.  Blame can be equally apportioned between vendor and client.  Many companies fail to take the time to fully understand the issues that will affect vendor performance, particularly the implications of methodology and pricing models.  For an in-depth discussion of these issues, please contact us and request our White Paper:  "Outsourced Sales Lead Prospecting: Linking Program Fees, Client Objectives, and Vendor Performance"   Reports Click here to receive a complimentary copy of our Report: "Outsourced Sales Lead Prospecting: Linking Program Fees, Client Objectives, and Vendor Performance" Contact Information Call: +1 617 548 8153, or Contact via e-mail Click here to receive a complimentary copy of our Report: "Defining a Lead and other Program Deliverables " Click here to receive a complimentary copy of our Report: "Account Discovery and Sales Lead Development; Primary Point Differentiation, Consolidated Program Results."  (19 Pages: 05-14-04)
