IN THE NEWS

MetaResponse Launches Lead-Generation Service
MetaResponse Group Inc.’s ProspectsExpress is a new lead-generation service for use in consumer direct marketing.

List-prospecting leads will be generated from automated outbound telemarketing polls. Custom-generated scripts are to be used together with voice-recognition technology, with a live operator available upon request of consumers consenting to be surveyed.

The lead-generation process includes collection of postal addresses and telephone numbers.

Leads originate from a 110 million-name consumer database overlaid with public records (including income data from tax records), in addition to data gathered from the surveys.
