"One Face to the Customer: Centralized Management – Decentralized Data Collection"

Telephone interviewing is considered the most efficient method of data collection as it enables you to reach your target group precisely and directly: In the B2C area, in the B2B area with decision makers from all sectors and management areas and with mystery calls or when recruiting (e.g.. for group discussions, car clinics and CAPI studies).

LEYHAUSEN carries out national and international telephone studies with native speakers from its own call centres in Germany, France, Great Britain, Italy, Spain, the Middle East and North Africa.

The data is stored centrally on our server in Leverkusen and enables real time management of your study.

We will also gladly carry out data collection for you in the countries in which we do not have our own call centers. Here, we have worked for several years with experienced partner companies. The benefit to you: You have only one contact person for the data collection of your study. This saves you time and effort in coordination and is also cost effective. By virtue of the technology used, you have a standard data basis for your international study.

In order to be able to guarantee reliable and internationally valid study results, we attach great importance on the consistently high quality of our analysis. Your contact person at our premises in Leverkusen is responsible as the project manager for the entire implementation of the project. In close cooperation and communication with you, all necessary project steps are prepared and coordinated to ensure punctual and transparent implementation of the projects.
