The findings indicate that organizations implementing customer-centric telemarketing strategies experience higher customer satisfaction, improved lead conversion, increased sales revenue, and stronger customer retention. Furthermore, the study demonstrates that ethical practices, compliance with regulatory standards, and continuous performance evaluation are essential for sustainable telemarketing success
