7 Essential Phone Applications For Lead Generation Companies
In the spirit of LeadsCon 2010, here are 7 examples of how lead generation companies are gaining a competitive edge by using phone applications to track, qualify and route phone leads.

How Ifbyphone Helps Marketing Companies Define Their Value
To say the economy is bad might be a bit of an understatement. It's affecting companies and people in every sector of the economy. People are naturally looking for ways to tighten their belts. Every expense is now being looked at a second and third time. Is this expense delivering value? If you are working with your clients to help increase their sales, you need to show more than web traffic these days.
PPPC - What's the extra P for?
In online advertising lingo, one of the most commonly used three letter acronyms is PPC, meaning pay-per-click.
