  Self-Employed

  Provider of telephone sampling services ‎

  I provided sampling services for market research phone surveys, using application software that I ‎developed myself (named "Wise Sampling"). My statistical sampling method reduced working ‎hours of the interviewers and at the same time increased the quality (representativeness of the ‎target population) of the final samples.
