Florida-based Precision Response Corp. is one such company.

The customer service call center logs more than 1 million inquiries a month, answering questions and fielding complaints for 90 companies with such household names as American Express, AT&T, British Airways, DirecTV, Federal Express, AARP and Priceline.com.
