 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.
