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.
