Telemarketing - Resources

Definition of Telemarketing

At Professional Prospecting Systems, we define telemarketing as the practice of marketing goods, services, or ideas by making direct phone calls to potential customers. It's a personal way to reach out, present offers, and build relationships with prospects.
