BK> Joe, in your message to Marda, you mentioned a Florida
BK> telemarketer that has the information on disk. Would you
BK> please let me know the information as well, as I might like to
BK> also check it out. Bill.
The Florida telemarketer had the the phone numbers on
their mainframe and they were fed to the individual terminals
where the operater would hit a key and begin the call. It would
not be valid in Denver.

Hi Marda
I don't know about where you are looking for a job in
telamarketing. One of the many jobs I had in working my way
through school was in that field. The way that the company I
worked for did this was by computer. Leads were input by
secretarial staff to the computer, The system then fed you the
leaddxs as you needed them. You could marked in an agency using
one of these systems with adaptive equipment.
