Feldman Law Center – Feldman Law Center Acquires Former Lending Tree V.P. To Head Up Expansion

Feldman Law Center – Feldman Law Center Acquires Former Lending Tree V.P. To Head Up Expansion

 

The Feldman Law Center, a Law Firm that provides nationwide loan modification and debt relief services announced the recent acquisition of former Lending Tree Vice President Mr. Jerry Koller to head up their expansion. Mr. Koller brings us a wealth of knowledge, says Mr. Steven C.Feldman as Koller has worked for Mr. Anthony Hsieh Former ETRADE Financial CEO who then founded HomeLoanCenter.com and sold it to Lending Tree in 2004 for an undisclosed sum. With over 20 years in the finance and mortgage industry Feldman feels the long awaited acquisition could not have come at a better time.

Feldman Law Center was one of the original loan modification attorneys providing loan modification services throughout the country and has grown at a record pace over the past year. Back in the day, homeowners facing foreclosure or immanent hardship due to interest rate adjustments didn’t know what a loan modification was and with the recent development of our Internal Management System Software and the acquisition of Mr. Koller we can structure our growth accordingly as to not adversely effect our day to day operation. The newly developed IMS system will improve the way we do business and allow us to process and negotiate over 5,000 loan modifications per month. Currently the Feldman Law Center manages a large case load and negotiates pools of loan modifications with the major loan servicers like Country Wide Home Loans, Chase and CITI Mortgage. The original staff of five has grown to over 65 in a year that most new nothing of loan modifications being used to stop foreclosure. The Law Offices occupies over 10,000 sq.’ in Mission Viejo, Ca. and is currently negotiating the lease of another 35,000 sq.’ in Irvine, Ca. Coincidently within a mile of the former Lending Tree campus Mr. Koller frequented. Feldman sees the rapid growth as the next “refi boom” and it should be smooth sailing with Koller aboard. “We couldn’t do it without a man of his caliber” says Feldman.

Mr. Koller went to every Loan Modification Company and Law Office that provides loan modification services in town before settling on the Feldman Law Center. When asked why Koller says, “He has the reputation and I want to work for the best”. When asked why loan modifications, Koller says “I like helping people and I miss the fast paced operations”.

Absolute Technologies announces First Hello Technology for Predictive Dialers

Hays, Kansas: May 5, 2006. Absolute Technologies, Inc. has created an improvement to an old technology with the Razor Predictive Dialer through First Hello Technology.

Hays, KS (PRWEB) May 6, 2006 — Absolute Technologies, Inc. (http://www.predictive-dialer.org , http://www.absolutetechnologies.net) has created an improvement to an old technology with the Razor Predictive Dialer through First Hello Technology.

Razor Predictive Dialers allows predictive dialer agents to hear the customer’s first hello called Answering Machine Reduction, and still eliminate over ½ of the answering machines typically passed through to an agent. This reduces the number of answering machines your agents get passed to them significantly.

Let me give you something to think about. When you get a call at home and no one is on the other end of the line for the first few seconds, you can usually tell it is a telemarketer calling. It is very frustrating when all you hear is “dead air” because you expect someone to be on the other end of the line. The first impression the potential customer gets of your company will more than likely be a bad one because of this delay. With Absolute Technologies, Inc., you can make the first impression a great one if you use our First Hello Technology with the Razor Predictive Dialer.

The “dead air” is typically set off by the telemarketing company using answering machine detection, which samples the first word the customer says to decide if it is a real person who answered the phone, or an answering machine. First Hello Technology with the Razor Predictive Dialer does not use just answering machine detection, but also offers answering machine reduction, which screens out most answering machines by using a method of time pacing.

Time pacing allows the agent to hear the customer say the first “hello” while still weeding out most answering machines. This permits the agent to greet the prospect and say “hello” naturally, just like if they had dialed the phone number themselves. That’s what Absolute Technologies, Inc. wants the customer to experience.

If you are calling Mr. John Brown, for instance, and you hear the first words the customer speaks, you can find out quite a bit about the person. If it is a child that answers the phone, you can say something like: “Is your Dad home?”. If it is a middle-aged man that answers the phone, it is safe to assume that it is Mr. Brown, and you can say: “Hello, Mr. Brown, how are you this evening?”. If you are not using the First Hello Technology with the Razor Predictive Dialer, and you don’t hear anyone say anything when they answer, the only thing you can really say is: “Hello, may I please speak with Mr. Brown?”. In all likelihood, they will hear the silence if answering machine reduction is turned on, and, along with the generic greeting, you will be recognized as a telemarketer and greeted in view of that.

Because of Absolute Technologies, Inc. and our Razor Predictive Dialer, call centers have seen as much as a 25% increase in productivity per lead when using our First Hello Technology instead of using a predictive dialer that doesn’t let you hear your customer say the first hello. Answering machine reduction is an uncomplicated technology that will permit your predictive dialer to stay on the line until right before most answering machines pick up the phone on the 4th ring.

For more information about Absolute Technologies, Inc. and what we have to offer, visit: (http://www.absolutetechnologies.net), or call 785-628-1780. For more information on our Razor Predictive Dialer software, visit: (http://www.predictive-dialer.org)

Asterisk Predictive Dialer for Your Outbound Contact Center

Indosoft announces its upgraded Predictive Dialer technology for Asterisk.

Fredericton, NB (PRWEB) March 16, 2006 — Predictive Dialers are used by outbound call centers to keep their call center agents talking on the phone. Indosoft has recently upgraded its predictive dialer technology based on open source Asterisk.

It can provide live connects within 10 to 15 seconds from the time an agent wraps up a call. In order to achieve this, a predictive dialer has to dial more phone numbers than the anticipated number of agents available to answer the calls, should the calls be picked up. Generally when a call is picked up and there are no available agents to answer the call, it gets dropped and the person on the other end does not hear an agent. The FCC in United States and the CRTC in Canada have strict guidelines governing dropped calls. Indosoft’s predictive dialer technology is designed to be compliant with these guidelines so that the predictive dialer drops less than 3% of the total number of calls connected, excluding answering machines. The PBX running the predictive dialer is expected to play a recorded message announcing the dropped call with details in conformity with the regulation.

Predictive dialers are computer algorithms that decide how many phone numbers the PBX should dial out, for a given number of agents. The optimization in the predictive dialing algorithm tries to determine the number of connects at any given time. The parameters are generally a function of the quality of leads, the time of day and the immediate statistical past. Predictive Dialers with tone detection to identify Busy, No-Answer and other call terminations do not have high degree of accuracy in identifying the call termination. Asterisk provides TDM and VoIP termination options that come with Digital signaling essential for reliable and fast detection. Asterisk has a CTI capable TCP based Manager Interface. A good session manager for any call center software should use this interface to manage the predictive dialing algorithm.

This advanced predictive dialer is tightly integrated with Asterisk and is a sub-component of the telephony and CRM of Indosoft’s outbound contact center technology. Asterisk PBX is a full featured open source Enterprise PBX software that dramatically reduces the cost of building any large call center using its wonderful telephony platform. At very little cost, it provides all essential functionality required for an enterprise call center. The Digium Quad PRI (T1) boards are good quality TDM interface at extremely low cost. Digium-Asterisk will become the dominating platform for contact center industry in years to come.

Indosoft Inc. has many successful deployments of its predictive dialer in contact center industry today. Indosoft is a Digium Asterisk partner and provides fully blended solutions for Contact Centers, Audio Conferencing Bridge, Real-time call blocking for Do Not Call list enforcement, Hosted PBX, IVR and Recording.
