Precision Research, Inc. was founded in 1959 as Precision Interviewing Service. Around the mid 70's the owner of the company retired and left the manager in charge. At this time the firm was quite small, as was the industry. The company operated out of the basement of the manager's home in Chicago.
In 1977 the manager, tired of running the company, offered the management position to a dependable and competent interviewer named Iona Adleman. The company moved from one basement to another as Mrs. Adleman took control. The following year some tax law changes along with a lack of interest in the company prompted the owner to sell Precision. The company was sold to Iona in 1978 for the sum of one dollar.
At the time the company was purchased it employed less than 15 people, all part time, and the company paid no rent as it worked out of a home. Today the company has grown to become a leader in the field of data collection. It currently employs over 100 people and occupies 12,000 square feet in a corprate office buildling.
What has happened since 1978 is a symbol of the firm's dedication to its clients across the country.
