Conducting sociological polls by phone: strength 

The main advantages of phone surveys with the help of the Pro-Consulting call center are:

1. Speed ​​of receiving and processing information

Of course, you can try to conduct phone surveys of the population or consumers instructing to call the target audience by employees of your company or organization. In the case of a large sample, they will have to spend a huge amount of time on calls and the quality of the received result will be questionable.

The Pro-Consulting call center, equipped with CATI - Computer Assisted Telephone Interview and staffed by a trained and experienced team of operators and analysts, will conduct phone surveys and process questionnaires in a much shorter period of time and with high quality.

2. Relatively low costs for conducting opinion polls by phone

Phone surveys with the help of an outsourced call center are much cheaper for the initiator than a private survey in public places. And even the example of a phone survey described above requires much more money than conducting opinion polls by phone using the Pro-Consulting call center. Phone surveys lose in price only to the option of posting questionnaires on Internet sites or social networks, but no online survey can compete in effectiveness with the conduct of sociological surveys by phone.

3. Coverage of all segments of the target audience

Nowadays, everyone has a phone, what can you say about access to the Internet. For example, the elderly are quite active consumers of goods and services or participants in socio-political life, and regular Internet users among them are few. And the younger generation is more likely to agree to quickly answer a few questions from a live operator than to spend time on a questionnaire online. Thus, if you want to get objective information on the most relevant sample, order phone surveys.
