Prospects are called and questioned by a live person at an in-house call center. How the leads are generated and the phone interview process:

1. A prospect visits a website and completes a form expressing interest in starting a home based business.

2. The prospect is then contacted by a telemarketer in the in-house call center.

3. The telemarketer verifies the prospect's contact information, interest in a home business and desire to be contacted with additional information about starting a home business. The telemarketer also verifies that the prospect is qualified to start a home business by devoting sufficient time (at least 10 hrs a week to be qualified as a lead) and monetary resources (at least $400 to be qualified as a lead).

4. 24 Hours after the telemarketer ascertains that the prospect is qualified, that prospect's complete information is sent to your online contact manager.

Each record includes:

• First Name, Last Name
• Email Address
• Street Address, City, State, Zip Code
• Phone Number
• Gender
• IP Address, Date Stamp, Time Stamp
• Interest Level of the prospect
• Investment Capital Available.

Three new types: Untargeted/Generic, Area Code Specific and High Investment.

The difference between phone interviewed and phone verified leads.

I don't know too many people that actually enjoy cold calling a stranger.  Telephone-interviewed leads are where the prospect is contacted by a call center, or telemarketing center, and has been interviewed or "warmed up" for you.

The process works similar to this.  The prospect fills out a survey or an online form at a business opportunity website and their information is sent over to a call center.  This is where an interviewer interviews the new prospect according to a basic script, confirms the information they filled out on the survey or online form, and asks them 4 - 6 standard survey questions. By speaking to the prospect, the interviewer can get a general idea of the seriousness of the prospect and throw away the non-serious ones.  This helps to filter out many of the ones that would just be a waste of time. At the end of the call, the interviewer will let the prospect know that someone will be contacting them shortly about a business opportunity.

This differs from phone verified leads in the following ways:

1. through a computerized auto-dialer that places a call to the prospects phone number and goes through a computerized survey
2. a large database is used to phone-match the prospect and confirm the information. 

Now, is there anything wrong with a verified lead?

Phone verified leads are a strong lead, certainly outdoing the double opt in or random surveyed lead. It is one that I use consistently in my business building to get the best ROI on my leads purchase. Live interviews are not really needed.  The extra verification effort helps save time and money by not buying some of the less desirable leads.
