Ask your prospective telemarketer what reputable and well known companies have been a part of their clientele.  If they aren't forthcoming, noting companies that have contacted you  regarding various products may be a way of finding a good source. You want someone who has a good client base so that you may join them.

Its a good idea to call companies and ask about the satisfaction they have in sales results and a list of their happy  customers. Is the company in mind responsible to  the clients generated and what are some of the long term benefits from having used a particular telemarketing company?
