Where can I get local US business phone numbers for an offshore call center?

You asking a really open ended question;

Offshore call center - local phone numbers -
Local to where? believe it or not that matters on how / where you get the data.
other wise - if it doesn't then a phone book will do.

I don't now if they still do this or not - but they probably do. I don't have
a phone book handy to check for you.

In the back of the phone book - usually on the cover in small print
is the name of a company - that company is who supplied the phone
book with the yellowpages information. The name usually has the word
data - or data aggregation in it.

Find the number and call them - they will sell anyone that data in the
form of a CD. I have purchased them years ago for 200.00 a cd

You wont know until after you start calling. Then it will be pretty evident.
I highly doubt you will run into that. It easier to put together old data
then it is to make up fake data - so you will still get a decent amount of connects

when people are worried about fake - it is something that happens with
LEADS - not CALL SHEETS - which is what your looking for

that's a big difference. ( you or your wife ) need to bone up on the lingo
or your not even going to find credible information when you do your
research.

Believe it or not - I was trying to be helpful, perhaps my brevity came off as snarky.

If your wife is the one putting together the room - then she needs to do the research
she needs to ask the questions and she needs to be the one making contacts.

Every question she asks and every answer she receives will guide her
You telling her second hand will be doing her a disservice

A lot will get lost n translation - she will miss a lot of the mini AHA moments
that are needed.

Running a phone room is no joke. It is one of the hardest endeavors
on the planet. To make them work properly ... there is a crap load
of knowledge needed.

People lose millions every year trying to put them together with out that knowledge.

Here is sad but true tidbit to chew on:

Most phone rooms in the USA only make it 2.5 years.

Not because they aren't making money. Its because they aren't setup
properly in the first place. They unwittingly break so many laws when they
start out - it catches upto them in fines.

Another reason is they only push one product, or have one lead source
or have employees that steal and run ...

- so when you say - offshore call center - local leads - help.

Your not really asking the questions you need for proper help.
and your probably the wrong one asking anyway.

you can ask me anything you want about leads, phone rooms and sales
Ill answer. But your questions need to be pointed or the answers wont
be helpful.
