Larry Kaplan, CEO
Larry Kaplan has been a leader in the telemarketing industry
for more than a quarter of a century. He began his teleservices
career in 1975 with Dial America Marketing, the largest telemarketing
company in the United States. There he pioneered what are now
known as outbound business-to-business campaigns.
In 1980 Larry established
Tele America, which quickly earned a reputation for delivering
high-quality teleservices. Tele America’s results
attracted high-profile corporate clients and in 1985 and 1986, the
firm was named to Inc. 500 list of the nation’s fastest growing
private firms.
In 1989 Larry sold Tele America to an integrated marketing
firm, which asked him to continue to oversee day-to-day operations.
In 1991 he bought back the company
he built and renamed it Tele Business USA. His goal: To focus exclusively
on business-to-business telemarketing.
Today, Tele Business USA is a proactive teleservices agency that
takes a hands-on approach to every client—and Larry consistently
adds his creativity and expertise to each and every program. His
contributions and commitment to the telemarketing industry were
recognized in 1996 when Telemarketing & Call Center Magazine presented him with its first ever Lifetime Achievement Award.
