High quality, qualified leads and more of 'em - who doesn’t want them? Whether you find yourself on the marketing or sales side of the spectrum, getting targeted, qualified leads are something we all live and breathe for every day. 

A scavenger hunt, fantastic wine, solid golfing (though based on your skill level, some may beg to differ), and my personal favorite, a great company. These are just a few of our favorite things from RingRevenue’s 4th Annual Golf Tournament and Wine Tour 2012.

After a beautiful weekend in sunny Santa Barbara (goodbye June gloom!), you may be wondering why we are looking forward to the often dreaded Monday - well, it’s simple. This Monday, June 25th, Rakuten LinkShare is hosting their biggest event of the year: the Rakuten LinkShare Symposium New York 2012! 

Did you know that more than 10,000 baby boomers are retiring every day?

LeadsCon West 2012 kicked off this week in Las Vegas and the week is off to a great start after Monday's Lead Buyer's Summit, where RingRevenue partner DoublePositive introduced their white paper about Mobile Marketing and Lead Generation (see my interview with JT Benton about the White Paper). The conference is in full swing with several of our partners like LinkShare, CUnet and DoublePositive exhibiting and talking to lead buyer and sellers about pay-per-call and call-based marketing. 

RingRevenue partner LinkShare has been in the news lately with a new look, and some recent industry recognition. I had a chance to catch up with Russ Peachman, VP of Lead Generation for LinkShare to talk about their recent accolades, how pay-per-call fits into their stragey and his visit to RingRevenue Headquarters in Santa Barbara. 

Just ask Jennine Rexon, President of Rex Direct Net, one of the top performing full-service internet marketing companies. Under the brand RexConnects, Jennine and team manage a pay-per-call program that brings high quality calls to advertisers and allows publishers to earn commissions for the phone call-based traffic they drive. In an article that originally appeared on Performance Marketing Insider on January 26, 2012, Jennine talks about how she makes millions on pay-per-call. 

When we announced our partnership with DoublePositive a little more than a year ago, we knew this partnership would be all about alignment. As the leader in Live HOT transfers, DoublePositive understands the value of delivering inbound phone leads direct to advertisers. During the past year, DoublePositive has leveraged RingRevenue's call performance marketing technology to drive more than 100,000 inbound calls to advertisers in vertical segments such as Insurance and Education.

This week, we were pleased to announce our partnership with MediaWhiz, a leading performance marketing agency. MediaWhiz, a Hyper Marketing (HMI) agency specializes in performance-based customer acquistion for national brands like Sears Home Services, The Home Depot, Kaplan, AT&T and others.

This week, Germany-based mobile advertising solutions provider  SponsorMob announced their partnership with RingRevenue to power their new mobile Click-to-Call solution for the US market.
