Resources to make an in-house cost-per-call service model

I've been reading a lot about cost-per-call or pay-per-call service providers. I've already checked out Ingenio, and I want to provide a similar service. Are there any white papers, seminars or companies out there that can teach and show me how to deploy our own in-house cost-per-call service model? Approximately how much would it cost me to get started on a small scale? What equipment would I need?
