Kellogg School of Management and Dr. James Oldroyd of MIT on the impact
of immediate response technology, we have been humbled by the recognition
that continues to come,” says Ken Krogue, President of InsideSales.com.
“We had no idea that using Web form callback technology to respond
to Web leads in less than five minutes increases contact rates by 800%,
but real world case studies continue to prove it out.”
