Lead Generation Company Selects inContact
UNITED STATES: Leading Marketing and Lead Generation Company Selects inContact In India
inContact, the leading provider of cloud-based call center software and call center agent optimization tools, announced today that a leading marketing and lead generation firm selected the inContact cloud-based interactive voice response (IVR) solution to enhance its marketing response messages.
The marketing company helps its clients efficiently place and respond to advertising.

Verizon Teams with inContact
Verizon Teams with inContact to Deliver New Cloud-Based Customer Care Solutions To Serve Business Customers More Effectively
Advanced ‘Virtual Contact Center’ Services Aim to Increase Customer Satisfaction by Providing Communications Options and Faster Responses to Inquiries
NEW YORK – To help multinational businesses and government agencies communicate more effectively with their customers and provide better service, Verizon has teamed with inContact, the leading provider of cloud contact center solutions, to offer an advanced suite of cloud-based Virtual Contact Center services.
The innovative offering, available in January of 2012, will enable customers of businesses and government agencies to choose how they want to contact and interact with the organization. For example, a customer reaching a company by phone would have the option of speaking with a live agent or requesting a call back if one is not immediately available. Customers could also use the Web for an online chat or to get answers to frequently asked questions. Other features include:
- Special software that can recognize incoming callers and refer specific customers to agents with the appropriate level of expertise. This “first-call resolution” eliminates the need to transfer a customer from one agent to another, an often lengthy process that frustrates customers.
- Comprehensive agent desktop tools to help educate and prepare agents to field customer inquiries and resolve them quickly.
Mike Palmer, vice president of enterprise strategy and marketing for Verizon, said, “Nine out of 10 of the world’s leading financial firms and countless other world-class businesses rely on Verizon’s Contact Center solutions to strengthen their customer relationships. We’ve joined forces with inContact, after an extensive review of the players in the market, to build on our successful track record by accelerating delivery of innovative customer care capabilities as part of our strategy to deliver innovative enterprise cloud solutions for multinational and government customers worldwide.”
Since Virtual Contact Center solutions are cloud-based, there is no upfront capital investment and they can be employed to augment and adjust existing customer service operations to more flexibly address changing business requirements.
In her Mid-Year 2011 Contact Center Trends Watch List, Elizabeth Herrell, vice president and principal analyst for Constellation Research said, “There is a big opportunity for companies who need to support departmental customer initiatives but lack budgets for acquiring the technology infrastructure. Alternatives include evaluating outsourcers or considering cloud-based services. Cloud services can inexpensively offer bundled solutions to quickly launch customer support operations.”
Paul Jarman, inContact CEO, said, “Bringing inContact’s award-winning cloud platform and deep experience with highly satisfied customers to Verizon’s world-class suite of Contact Center solutions will help to accelerate cloud-based customer contact solution adoption. Together with Verizon’s global reach and world-class sales and service teams, we will be able to shape and meet the growing demand for these compelling and cost-effective customer-facing capabilities.”
Verizon Business delivers integrated IT and communications solutions via its high-IQ global IP and mobility networks to enable businesses to securely access information, share content and communicate. Verizon is rapidly transforming to a cloud-based “everything-as-a-service” delivery model that will put the power of enterprise-class solutions within the reach of every business.

Call Center Customer Service
Do you think that customer service is getting worse? You’re probably right…
The ACSI just release the 2010 results of their multi-year study on customer service and found that it is…dropping. Yep. So if you feel like customer service is going down, you’re probably right.
With a few exceptions, it is declining.
What can we do about it? I really don’t believe that we are getting up in the morning and saying to ourselves in the mirror, “what can I do to offer worse customer service?” I believe that those in the industry want to do a better job of offering customer service.
Some claim that it is all about the fragile economy and consumer sensitivity. If that is the case, now is your chance to jump on it and beat out all of your competition in customer satisfaction.
Greater customer satisfaction leads to:
- Customers who buy more from you
- Customers who spread good word of mouth about you
- More profitable companies
So, things are looking bad across the board…now is your chance to really shine. What are you doing to shine? Share your ideas with us here or with me at
