If you are able to receive e-mail, our reporting will be sent to you as frequently as you wish; as often as once an hour.Next, of the 15% (or more) who answer our calls, a small percentage will actually press the required key, so they can learn more from a live person, or for self-processing by a custom-designed, fully-automated, order-entry program.Here&＃39;s an example of keypress rates for commercial programs. Please remember, the keypress percentages shown are of only the answered calls, NOT the call attempts:Dish Network Satellite TV ("DISH NETWORK"):3% (of the 15% who answered - or about four tenths of one percent of all calls attempted.100,000 attempts...15,000 answered = 15% of all attempted calls...450 keypresses = 3% of the 15% answered, which are then transferred to agents for more information or to be sold. )We charge $0.0795 (just under eight cents) per minute to deliver your message, and the same for transferring keypresses to you or your agents to close the sale. There&＃39;s a 12-second minimum call length, with a six-second increment. So, if a call lasts 19 seconds, you&＃39;re billed for 24 seconds.
