Business Wire, July 22, 2004

BETHESDA, Md. -- Kaulkin Ginsberg, the premier provider of advice, expertise and information to the collections and call center management industries, officially announced Kaulkin Rewards last week at ACA's Dallas Convention & Exposition. Kaulkin Rewards is an innovative program that bestows kDollars (like frequent flyer points) to customers based on their usage of Kaulkin and Kaulkin Partner services. Customers can redeem their kDollars for merchandise like digital cameras, PDAs, MP3 players and televisions.

Kaulkin Ginsberg Founder and Chairman Marvin Kaulkin remarked, "I couldn't be more pleased to see our company introducing another innovation to our industry. Kaulkin Rewards is a fun program that's easy to use and provides value to our clients. And this is an industry that could always use a little more value--and a little more fun!"

All subscribers to CollectionIndustry.com are automatically enrolled in Kaulkin Rewards. The program is integrated into the CollectionIndustry.com web site. Subscribers can see their current kDollars balance, browse the electronic catalog of available merchandise, and redeem their kDollars, all from the CollectionIndustry.com site. Customers can use kDollars themselves or as a staff incentive.

Subscribers earn kDollars by purchasing a variety of services from Kaulkin and Kaulkin Partners, including skip tracing (InsightAmerica), voice broadcasting (TCN Broadcasting), collections software (Sentinel), executive search (Executive Alliance), payment processing software (AutoScribe), document imaging and retrieval (HubFile(TM)), and a variety of other services from Kaulkin, including information management, business credit reports, and consulting and advisory services.

"We're off to a great start with this program and we expect to keep adding more products and services as Kaulkin Rewards grows," said Kaulkin. "These programs are pretty typical in other industries. Buyers love them because they can get a little extra value for their dollar. Sellers love them because it gives them a flexible promotional tool to incent customer trial and loyalty. There's no limit to how these programs can be used. An added benefit of our program is that it cuts across several different product lines, which gives customers that many more reasons to value the program."
