PROXY STATEMENT

_______________________

This Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation by the Board of Directors of PDI, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company” or “PDI”, “we”, “us” or “our”), of proxies in the form enclosed for the Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held at the Sheraton Crossroads Hotel, One International Boulevard, Mahwah, New Jersey 07495 on June 5, 2007 at 4:00 p.m., Eastern time, and for any adjournments or postponements thereof (the “Annual Meeting”), for the purposes set forth in the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The Board of Directors knows of no other business which will come before the meeting. This Proxy Statement will be mailed to stockholders on or about May 2, 2007.

Record Date and Quorum

Stockholders of record at the close of business on April 20, 2007 are entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting. As of the record date, there were 14,178,459 shares of common stock of the Company outstanding. Each share of common stock outstanding on the record date is entitled to one vote on each matter presented for action at the meeting. Shares of common stock were the only voting securities of the Company outstanding on the record date. A quorum will be present at the Annual Meeting if a majority of the shares of common stock outstanding on the record date are present at the meeting in person or by proxy.

Voting of Proxies

The persons acting as proxies pursuant to the enclosed proxy will vote the shares represented as directed in the signed proxy. Unless otherwise directed in the proxy, the proxyholders will vote the shares represented by the proxy: (i) for election of the three Class I director nominees named in this Proxy Statement; (ii) for ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP (“E&Y”) as independent registered public accounting firm to audit the financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2007; and (iii) in the proxyholders’ discretion, on any other business that may come properly before the meeting and any adjournments or postponements of the meeting.

All votes will be tabulated by the inspector of elections appointed for the Annual Meeting, who will separately tabulate affirmative and negative votes, abstentions and broker non-votes. Under the Company’s bylaws and Delaware law: (1) shares represented by proxies that reflect abstentions or “broker non-votes” (i.e., shares held by a broker or nominee that are represented at the meeting, but with respect to which such broker or nominee is not empowered to vote on a particular proposal) will be counted as shares that are present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum; (2) there is no cumulative voting, and the director nominees receiving the highest number of votes, up to the number of directors to be elected, are elected and, accordingly, abstentions, broker non-votes and withholding of authority to vote will not affect the election of directors; and (3) proxies that reflect abstentions or non-votes will be treated as unvoted for purposes of determining approval of that proposal and will not be counted as votes for or against that proposal.

Voting Requirements

Election of Directors. The election of directors requires a plurality of the votes cast for the election of directors; accordingly, the directorships to be filled at the Annual Meeting will be filled by the nominees receiving the highest number of votes. In the election of directors, votes may be cast in favor of or withheld with respect to any or all nominees; votes that are withheld will be excluded entirely from the vote and will have no effect on the outcome of the vote.

Ratification of the Appointment of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm. The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast for or against the matter by stockholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting is required to ratify the appointment of our independent registered public accounting firm. An

abstention from voting on this matter will be treated as “present” for quorum purposes. However, since an abstention is not treated as a “vote” for or against the matter, it will have no effect on the outcome of the vote.

Revocability of Proxy

A stockholder who has signed and returned the enclosed proxy may revoke it at any time before it is voted by (i) submitting to the Company a properly executed proxy bearing a later date, (ii) submitting to the Company a written revocation of the proxy or (iii) voting in person at the Annual Meeting.

Expenses of Solicitation

We will pay the expenses of the preparation of proxy materials and the solicitation of proxies for the Annual Meeting. In addition to the solicitation of proxies by mail, solicitation may be made by certain directors, officers or employees of PDI or by an outside firm telephonically, electronically or by other means of communication. We will reimburse brokers and other nominees for costs incurred by them in mailing proxy materials to beneficial owners in accordance with applicable rules.

PROPOSAL NO. 1 - ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

The Board of Directors currently consists of nine members and is divided into three classes, with three directors in each of Classes I, II and III. Directors serve for three-year terms with one class of directors being elected by the Company’s stockholders at each annual meeting.

At the Annual Meeting, three Class I directors will be elected to serve until the annual meeting of stockholders in 2010 and until each director’s successor is elected and qualified. John P. Dugan, Dr. Joseph T. Curti and Stephen J. Sullivan are the nominees for re-election as the Class I directors. All of the nominees have been approved, recommended and nominated for re-election to the Board of Directors by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee (the “Nominating Committee”) and by the Board of Directors. The accompanying proxy will be voted for the election of John P. Dugan, Dr. Joseph T. Curti and Stephen J. Sullivan as directors, unless the proxy contains instructions otherwise. Management has no reason to believe that Mr. Dugan, Dr. Curti or Mr. Sullivan will not be a candidate or will be unable to serve. However, in the event that any of the nominees should become unable or unwilling to serve as a director, the proxy will be voted for the election of such person or persons as shall be designated by the Board of Directors.

The Board of Directors Recommends a

Vote FOR the Election of the Foregoing Nominees and

Proxies That Are Returned Will Be So Voted

Unless Otherwise Instructed.

Set forth below is information regarding the nominees for election as Class I directors and all other members of the Board of Directors who will continue in office.

Director Independence

Our Board of Directors has determined that Messrs. Pietruski, Ryan, Sullivan, Federspiel, Stover and Dr. Curti are independent within the meaning of the applicable rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. (“Nasdaq”).

Corporate Governance

Our Guidelines on Corporate Governance, Code of Business Conduct and the charters for each committee of the Board of Directors can be found on our website at www.pdi-inc.com. We believe that we are in compliance with the relevant provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the corporate governance rules of Nasdaq.

Board of Directors Meetings and Committees

During the year ended December 31, 2006, the Board of Directors held nine meetings, the Audit Committee held 18 meetings, the Compensation and Management Development Committee (the “Compensation Committee”) held seven meetings, and the Nominating Committee held five meetings. Each committee member is a non-employee director of the Company who meets the independence requirements of Nasdaq and applicable law. Each of our incumbent directors attended at least 90% of the total number of Board of Directors meetings and committee meetings on which he or she served during 2006.

We adopted a policy encouraging our directors to attend annual meetings of stockholders and believe that attendance at annual meetings is just as important as attendance at meetings of the Board of Directors. Eight of our directors attended our annual meeting held on June 6, 2006, either in person or telephonically.

Our Board of Directors has three standing committees, each of which is described below.

Audit Committee

The Audit Committee is currently composed of Mr. Stover (chairperson), Mr. Sullivan and Dr. Curti. The primary purposes of our Audit Committee are: (a) to assist the Board of Directors in its oversight of (i) the integrity of our financial statements, (ii) our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, (iii) the qualifications and independence of our independent registered public accounting firm and (iv) the performance of our internal audit function and independent registered public accounting firm; and (b) to prepare any report of the Audit Committee required by the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for inclusion in our annual proxy statement.

Our Board of Directors and the Nominating Committee have determined that each of the members of our Audit Committee is independent within the meaning of the rules of both Nasdaq and the SEC. No member of the Audit Committee is an officer of the Company or employed or affiliated with E&Y, nor has any member of the Audit Committee been an officer of the Company within the past three years. No member of the Audit Committee has any relationship with the Company that, in the opinion of the Board of Directors, would interfere with his independence from management and the Company. Each member of the Audit Committee is, in the judgment of the Board of Directors and the Nominating Committee, financially literate, and at least one member of the Audit Committee has accounting or related financial management experience. The Board of Directors and the Nominating Committee have determined that the chairperson of the Audit Committee, Mr. Stover, is an “audit committee financial expert,” as that term is defined in Item 407(d) of Regulation S-K, and all members of the Audit Committee are “independent” for purposes of Nasdaq listing standards and Section 10A(m)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”).

The Audit Committee and our Board of Directors have established a procedure whereby complaints or concerns with respect to accounting, internal controls and auditing matters may be submitted to the Audit Committee, which is described in the section of this Proxy Statement entitled “Policies on Reporting of Concerns Regarding Accounting and Other Matters and on Communicating with Non-Management Directors.”

Our Audit Committee Charter is posted and can be viewed on our website at www.pdi-inc.com.

Compensation and Management Development Committee

The Compensation Committee is currently comprised of Messrs. Ryan (chairperson), Pietruski and Federspiel. Each member of our Compensation Committee is “independent” within the meaning of the rules of Nasdaq and as required by the Compensation Committee Charter. The primary purposes of our Compensation Committee are: (a) to establish and maintain executive compensation policies for the Company consistent with corporate objectives and stockholder interests; (b) to oversee the competency and qualifications of our senior management personnel and the provisions of senior management succession planning; and (c) to prepare a report required by the rules and regulations of the SEC for inclusion in our annual proxy statement. The Compensation Committee also administers our equity compensation plans. Additional information on the Compensation Committee’s processes and procedures for the consideration and determination of executive compensation can be found in the section of this Proxy Statement entitled “Compensation Discussion and Analysis.”

Our Compensation Committee Charter is posted and can be viewed on our website at www.pdi-inc.com.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

The Nominating Committee is currently comprised of Messrs. Pietruski (chairperson), Federspiel and Sullivan and Dr. Curti. Each member of our Nominating Committee is “independent” within the meaning of the rules of Nasdaq and as required by the Nominating Committee charter. The primary purposes of the Nominating Committee are: (a) to select individuals qualified to serve as directors of the Company and on committees of the Board of Directors; (b) to advise the Board of Directors with respect to board composition, procedures and committees; (c) to advise the Board of Directors with respect to the corporate governance principles applicable to the Company; (d) to advise the Board of Directors with respect to director compensation issues; and (e) to oversee the evaluation of the Board of Directors. In identifying and recommending nominees for positions on the Board of Directors, the Nominating Committee places primary emphasis on (i) a candidate’s judgment, character, expertise, skills and knowledge useful to the oversight of our business; (ii) a candidate’s business or other relevant experience; and (iii) the extent to which the interplay of the candidate’s expertise, skills, knowledge and experience with that of other members of the Board of Directors will build a Board of Directors that is effective, collegial and responsive to our needs. The Nominating Committee does not set specific, minimum qualifications that nominees must meet in order for the committee to recommend them to the Board of Directors, but rather believes that each nominee should be evaluated based on his or her individual merits, taking into account our needs and the composition of the Board of Directors. Members of the Nominating Committee discuss and evaluate possible candidates in detail, and suggest individuals to explore in more depth. Outside consultants have also been employed to help in identifying candidates. Once a candidate is identified whom the committee wants to seriously consider and move toward nomination, the chairperson of the Nominating Committee enters into a discussion with that nominee candidate. Subsequently, the chairperson will discuss the qualifications of the candidate with the other members of the committee, and the Nominating Committee will then make a final recommendation with respect to that candidate to the Board of Directors. The Nominating Committee will consider nominees recommended by stockholders. The policy adopted by the Nominating Committee provides that nominees recommended by stockholders are given appropriate consideration in the same manner as other nominees. Stockholders who wish to submit nominees for director for consideration by the Nominating Committee for election at our 2008 annual meeting of stockholders may do so by submitting in writing such nominees’ names, in compliance with the procedures and along with the other information required by our bylaws, to Kerry Skolkin, Vice President, Associate General Counsel and Corporate Secretary at PDI, Inc., Saddle River Executive Centre, 1 Route 17 South, Saddle River, NJ 07458 between December 1, 2007 and December 21, 2007.

The Company’s Nomination Committee Charter is posted and can be viewed on the Company’s website at www.pdi-inc.com.

Policies on Reporting of Concerns Regarding Accounting and Other Matters and on Communicating with Non-Management Directors

We have adopted policies on reporting of concerns regarding accounting and other matters and on communicating with our non-management directors. Any person, whether or not an employee, who has a concern about our conduct or the conduct of any of our people, including with respect to our accounting, internal accounting controls or auditing issues, may, in a confidential or anonymous manner, communicate that concern by forwarding it in a sealed envelope to the chairperson of the Audit Committee, in care of our Corporate Secretary at PDI, Inc. Attn: Corporate Secretary, Saddle River Executive Centre, 1 Route 17 South, Saddle River, NJ 07458, such envelope to be labeled with a legend such as: “Anonymous Submission of Complaint or Concern.” All communication received will be relayed to the chairperson of each of our Audit Committee and Nominating Committee. The full text of our Policy on Reporting of Concerns Regarding Accounting and Other Matters is posted and can be viewed on our website at www.pdi-inc.com.

In addition, we are currently in the process of implementing a confidential and secure Internet and telephone based system to facilitate the confidential and anonymous reporting of concerns regarding accounting

and other related matters. Upon implementation of this system, information relating to how any such concerns may be reported, including a toll-free hotline telephone number, will be posted on our website.

Compensation of Directors

Each of our non-employee directors receives an annual director's fee of $40,000, payable quarterly in arrears. In addition, the Chairperson of each of the Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Nominating Committee receives an additional annual fee of $25,000, $15,000 and $5,000, respectively. Members of our Board of Directors may defer receipt of board and committee fees through participation in our Officer and Director Deferred Compensation Plan.

Prior to 2006, we provided non-employee directors with stock options on an annual basis. Our current practice with respect to equity awards to our non-employee directors is as follows: Upon initial appointment to the Board of Directors, each non-employee director receives approximately $60,000 in restricted stock which vests ratably over a three-year period. In addition, each non-employee director receives approximately $45,000 in restricted stock on the date of our annual meeting each year which vests ratably over a three-year period.

The following table presents information relating to total compensation for our non-employee directors for the year ended December 31, 2006. This table shows fiscal year 2006 compensation in accordance with the SEC’s compensation disclosure requirements. The value of equity awards is based on Financial Accounting Standards Board Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payments” (“FAS 123R”), as required by the SEC. As a result, this value may include amounts from awards granted in and prior to 2006, and not the amount actually paid to the director in 2006.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires our officers and directors, and persons who own more than ten percent (10%) of a registered class of our equity securities to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. Officers, directors and greater than ten percent (10%) stockholders are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.

To the best of our knowledge, based solely on review of the copies of such forms furnished to us, or written representations that no other forms were required, we believe that all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to ours officers, directors and greater than ten percent (10%) stockholders were complied with during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 with the following exceptions: (i) a Change in Beneficial Ownership on Form 4 was not timely filed for Messrs. Budd, Connolly and Cotugno and Ms. McCarthy relating to (a) the shares of restricted stock granted to each of them in February 2006 and (b) the shares of restricted stock and the stock-settled stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) granted to each of them in March 2006; and (ii) a Change in Beneficial Ownership on Form 4 was not timely filed for Mr. Stover relating to the shares of restricted stock granted to him in June 2006.

PROPOSAL NO. 2 - RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF

INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Audit Committee of our Board of Directors has appointed E&Y as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2007. Although stockholder approval is not required, we desire to obtain from the stockholders an indication of their approval or disapproval of the Audit Committee’s action in appointing E&Y as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Company and its subsidiaries. If the stockholders do not ratify this appointment, such appointment will be reconsidered by the Audit Committee.

A representative of E&Y will be present at the Annual Meeting and will be afforded an opportunity to make a statement and to respond to questions.

The Board of Directors Recommends a Vote FOR the Ratification of the

Appointment of Ernst & Young LLP for Fiscal Year 2007 and Proxies That Are

Returned Will Be So Voted Unless Otherwise Instructed.

On April 18, 2005, the Company dismissed PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”) as its independent registered public accounting firm. The decision to dismiss PwC was authorized and approved by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. PwC’s report on the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2004 did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the year ended December 31, 2004 and

through April 18, 2005, there were (i) no disagreements with PwC on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements if not resolved to the satisfaction of PwC would have caused PwC to make reference thereto in connection with its reports on the financial statements for such periods and (ii) no reportable events (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act).

On April 18, 2005, with the authorization and approval of the Audit Committee, the Company engaged E&Y as its independent registered public accounting firm to audit the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005.

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT

Each member of the Audit Committee is “independent” within the meaning of the rules of both Nasdaq and the SEC (including the SEC’s additional independence requirements for members of audit committees), as determined by our Board of Directors upon the recommendation of our Nominating Committee. Our Board of Directors has also determined that each member is financially literate and at least one member of the Audit Committee has accounting or related financial management expertise, as such qualifications are defined under the rules of Nasdaq. Mr. Stover is deemed our audit committee financial expert within the meaning of the rules of Nasdaq. The Audit Committee operates pursuant to a written charter that is available on our website at www.pdi-inc.com.

The Audit Committee’s primary purposes are: (a) to assist the Board of Directors in its oversight of: (i) the integrity of our financial statements; (ii) our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements; (iii) the qualifications and independence of our independent registered public accounting firm; and (iv) the performance of our internal audit function and the independent registered public accounting firm; and (b) to prepare this report. During fiscal 2006, the Audit Committee held 18 meetings, including six private sessions with the independent registered public accounting firm.

In performing its oversight role, the Audit Committee has considered and discussed with management and the independent registered public accounting firm our audited financial statements for fiscal 2006, management’s assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting and the independent registered public accounting firm’s evaluation of management’s assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting and the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. The Audit Committee has also discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, Communication with Audit Committees, as currently in effect. The Audit Committee has received the written disclosures and the letter from the independent registered public accounting firm required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1, Independence Discussions with Audit Committees, as currently in effect, and has discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm, such independent registered public accounting firm’s independence. All non-audit services performed by the independent registered public accounting firm must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee or a member thereof.

Management is responsible for the preparation, presentation and integrity of our financial statements, accounting and financial reporting principles and internal controls and procedures designed to assure compliance with accounting standards and applicable laws and regulations, including the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. The independent registered public accounting firm is responsible for performing an independent audit of our financial statements, expressing an opinion as to their conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, on management’s assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, and on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. The independent registered public accounting firm has free access to the Audit Committee to discuss any matters they deem appropriate.

During fiscal 2006, the Audit Committee performed all of its duties and responsibilities under its charter. In addition, based on the reports and discussions described in this report, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that our audited financial statements for fiscal 2006 be included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for such fiscal year.

Submitted by the Audit Committee

Jack E. Stover, Chairperson

Dr. Joseph T. Curti

Stephen J. Sullivan

The Audit Committee Report does not constitute solicitation material and shall not be deemed filed or incorporated by reference into any of our other filings under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, whether made before or after the date hereof and irrespective of any general incorporation language in any such filings.

Audit Committee Matters and Fees Paid to Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Under its charter, the Audit Committee must pre-approve all engagements of our independent registered public accounting firm unless an exception to such pre-approval exists under the Exchange Act or the rules of the SEC. Each year, the independent registered public accounting firm’s retention to audit our financial statements and permissible non-audit services, including the associated fees, is approved by the Audit Committee. At the beginning of the fiscal year, the Audit Committee evaluates other known potential engagements of the independent registered public accounting firm, in light of the scope of the work proposed to be performed and the proposed fees, and approves or rejects each service, taking into account whether the services are permissible under applicable law and the possible impact of each non-audit service on the independent registered public accounting firm’s independence. At subsequent Audit Committee meetings, the Audit Committee receives updates on the services actually provided by the independent registered public accounting firm, and management may present additional services for approval. Typically, these would be services, such as due diligence for an acquisition, that were not known at the beginning of the year. The Audit Committee has delegated to the Chairperson of the Audit Committee the authority to evaluate and approve engagements on behalf of the Audit Committee in the event that a need arises for pre-approval between committee meetings. This might occur, for example, if we proposed to execute a financing on an accelerated timetable. If the Chairperson so approves any such engagements, he will report that approval to the full Audit Committee at the next Audit Committee meeting.

Since the May 6, 2003 effective date of the SEC rules stating that an auditor is not independent of an audit client if the services it provides to the client are not appropriately approved, each new engagement of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm was approved in advance by the Audit Committee, and none of those engagements made use of the de minimis exception to the pre-approval requirement contained in the SEC’s rules. In 2005 and 2006, the Company retained the services of E&Y as its independent registered public accounting firm.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

The following discussion and analysis of compensation arrangements of our named executive officers in 2006 should be read together with the compensation tables and related disclosures set forth elsewhere in this Proxy Statement under the caption “Executive Compensation”. This discussion contains forward looking statements that are based on our current plans, considerations, expectations and determinations regarding future compensation programs. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual compensation programs that we adopt to differ materially from currently planned programs as summarized in this discussion.

Compensation Philosophy and Objectives

We believe that the compensation provided to our executives should be commensurate and aligned with the performance and growth of the Company and long-term stockholder value. In order to implement this philosophy, we utilize both quantitative and qualitative measures of performance. Our compensation plans are designed to link rewards with performance against objective, quantitative factors that we believe are important to the success and growth of the Company, such as earnings per share (“EPS”), revenue growth, and operating income. In addition, certain qualitative measures are also applied to assess the individual performance of each of our executives, such as an individual’s progress toward strategic objectives, leadership and decision-making abilities, success in creating new service offerings, innovation and industry knowledge.

As a general matter, the objectives of our compensation plans are to:

provide overall levels of compensation that are competitive in order to attract, retain and motivate highly qualified, experienced executives;

provide annual and long-term incentives that emphasize performance-based compensation, contingent upon achieving company and individual performance goals;

align the interests of our executives with those of our stockholders by having a meaningful portion of executive compensation comprised of equity-based incentives coupled with stock ownership guidelines; and

reward our executives for their individual contributions to the short and long-term success of the Company.

During 2006, the Company underwent significant changes in terms of its business strategy and its senior management team, which had an impact on our compensation philosophy and awards made in the past year. While the Company has traditionally positioned itself primarily as a contract sales organization serving large pharmaceutical companies, it is currently in the process of repositioning itself as a broader based provider of commercialization services to the pharmaceutical and life sciences industries. In addition, during 2006 there were significant changes to our executive management team, and we hired a new Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) during the year. In light of these significant events, our compensation philosophy in 2006 focused on attracting and retaining a highly qualified management team to lead the Company through a challenging stage of our development.

Role of the Compensation and Management Development Committee

The Compensation Committee provides overall guidance for our executive compensation policies and determines the value and elements of compensation for our executive officers. In making its determinations with respect to executive compensation, the Compensation Committee has retained since 2002 the services of Pearl Meyer & Partners to assist with its review of our executive compensation programs. We believe that the use of an independent compensation consultant provides additional assurance that our executive compensation arrangements are reasonable and consistent with our objectives and external market trends. The compensation consultant regularly participates in Compensation Committee meetings and advises the Compensation Committee

on such matters as compensation trends and best practices, plan design and appropriate benchmarking. In addition, our CEO and Executive Vice President, Human Resources attend Compensation Committee meetings by invitation in order to provide, as appropriate, additional insight, suggestions or recommendations regarding executive compensation.

Generally, the process for determining executive compensation is as follows. On an annual basis, the CEO completes a self-assessment of his performance for review by the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors and then the CEO meets with the Board of Directors to discuss his performance during the year. The Board of Directors then meets in executive session without the CEO present to discuss and evaluate his performance and his compensation package. Ultimately, decisions regarding the CEO’s compensation package are made by the Board of Directors after such members’ consideration of: (1) the Compensation Committee’s and compensation consultant’s input to the Board of Directors; (2) the Board of Director’s evaluation of the CEO’s performance; and (3) Competitive Market Data (as defined below). Decisions regarding our other executive officers (other than the CEO) are made by the Compensation Committee considering recommendations from the CEO, as well as a review of Competitive Market Data and input from the compensation consultant.

Benchmarking

As noted above, compensation levels for executives are determined based on a number of factors, including the compensation levels in the marketplace for similar positions. Benchmarking compensation is a challenge for the Company, as we provide a unique mix of services in the marketplace. There are very few stand-alone public companies that are direct competitors of the Company, thereby making it difficult to develop a true comparison group with a meaningful number of companies. As a result, the Compensation Committee has benchmarked compensation against alternative sources, including the group of companies listed below, whose profiles align with the Company’s in terms of service offerings, revenues and/or employee functionality.

The Advisory Board Company	Gevity HR, Inc.
Allscripts Healthcare Solutions, Inc.	inVentiv Health Inc.
Charles River Associates Incorporated	Navigant Consulting, Inc.
CSG Systems International, Inc.	NCO Group, Inc.
Dendrite International, Inc.	PAREXEL International Corporation
DiamondCluster International, Inc.	PRG-Schultz International, Inc.
First Consulting Group, Inc.	Pharmanet Development Group, Inc.

These companies have been carefully considered by the Compensation Committee for inclusion in the market compensation data and are re-evaluated annually to confirm whether they continue to provide valuable and reliable data for compensation comparison purposes. As part of the market benchmarking process, the Compensation Committee considers our financial and stock performance in comparison with the companies in this market data group. In addition, this compensation data is also supplemented with general industry survey data that provides position-based compensation levels. This market data group and the general industry survey data are collectively referred to in this proxy statement as “Competitive Market Data”.

Relative to the Competitive Market Data, the Compensation Committee generally intends that all elements of compensation -- base salary, bonus and long-term incentive opportunity -- will be in the median range if our financial performance measures are achieved. As noted above, notwithstanding our overall compensation positioning objectives, compensation opportunities for specific executives vary based on a number of factors such as scope of duties, tenure, institutional knowledge and/or difficulty in recruiting a new executive. Actual total compensation in a given year will vary above or below these target compensation levels based on a number of factors, including our financial performance as compared with the previously established financial performance measures and the creation of stockholder value.

Elements of Compensation

We utilize the following three main components of compensation:

Base Salary;

Annual Incentive Bonus; and

Long-Term Equity Compensation.

Base Salary

Base salaries are set with regard to the level of the position within the Company and the individual’s current and sustained performance results, as well as Competitive Market Data. The base salary levels and any changes to those levels for each executive are reviewed each year by the Compensation Committee, and adjustments may be based on factors such as new roles and/or responsibilities assumed by the executive and the executive’s significant impact on strategic goals. However, there is no specific weighting applied to any one factor in setting the level of salary, and the process ultimately relies on the positioning relating to the Competitive Market Data and the Compensation Committee’s judgment. Salaries are generally targeted within median ranges of Competitive Market Data reviewed by the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee also takes into account additional factors such as historical compensation, potential to be a key contributor as well as special recruiting situations, such as the recruitment of our new CEO and CFO in 2006. Based on an analysis of these criteria, the base salary of the following named executive officers was increased during 2006 as follows:

S. Budd - 3%.

D. Callender - 6%

K. Connolly - 3.5%.

S. Cotugno - 3%.

During the first half of 2006, Larry Ellberger and Brian Boyle served as our interim CEO and CFO, respectively, until their successors commenced employment. Due to the transitory nature of their positions, they were not awarded salary increases, annual incentive bonuses or long-term equity compensation with respect to 2006 performance. The level of Mr. Callender’s increase in base salary in 2006 was due in part to his assumption of duties as CFO on an interim basis during 2006.

During 2006, the Compensation Committee developed compensation packages for our new CEO and CFO. In determining the base salaries of $400,000 and $300,000, respectively, for the new CEO and CFO, the Compensation Committee considered a variety of factors, including an analysis of a reasonable and competitive amount that was necessary to attract highly qualified and talented candidates to the Company during this time of transition.

Annual Incentive Bonuses

The annual incentive bonus program provides our executive officers an opportunity to receive cash incentive awards based on our overall financial performance, the financial performance of our business units and the individual performance of each participant in the program. Annual incentive bonus targets, which are based on the level of the executive’s position within the Company, are approved by the Compensation Committee at the beginning of each fiscal year and are expressed as a percentage of such individual’s base salary. In 2006, the annual incentive bonus targets were as follows for each named executive officer:

Named Executive Officer	Incentive Bonus Target (% of Base Salary)
M. Marquard	80%
J. Smith	70%
S. Budd ;	75%
K. Connolly	70%
D. Callender	60%
S. Cotugno	75%

In order to determine the level of funding that will be available to make incentive bonus awards, certain financial performance measures are also established at the beginning of each fiscal year. The applicable financial performance measures typically relate to EPS and operating income on a consolidated basis. However, for those executives who are evaluated with respect to the performance of a particular business unit of the Company, the applicable financial performance measure is typically the operating income of that particular business unit. The level of funding for the incentive bonus targets is based on a sliding scale that correlates directly with the attainment of our financial performance measures. For example, in order for the incentive bonus targets to be fully funded, the applicable financial performance measures must be fully achieved. The actual amount of the incentive bonus awards is initially based on the level of funding that is available and may then be adjusted up or down by the Compensation Committee depending on a variety of factors, including any extraordinary circumstances that affected our financial performance during the fiscal year as well as the executive’s performance during the fiscal year.

The financial performance measure applicable to fiscal 2006 for the named executive officers was EPS of break even (EPS for 2005 was a loss of $1.37), except for Mr. Budd and Mr. Connolly. The financial performance measure applicable to Mr. Budd’s incentive bonus target was operating income of approximately $15.2 million (before corporate allocations) for our Sales Services business segment, and the financial performance measure applicable to Mr. Connolly’s incentive bonus target was operating income of approximately $7.1 million (before corporate allocations) for our Marketing Services business segment. Each financial performance measure established for fiscal 2006 was exceeded in fiscal 2006 which resulted in a level of funding of 100% of the bonus incentive targets. However, in determining the actual amount of bonus incentive awards to be made to our executive officers, the Compensation Committee also considered other factors such as the existing pipeline for new business and any extraordinary circumstances that affected financial performance during 2006 and may affect financial performance going forward, including the termination and/or expiration of a number of significant sales force contracts during 2006. Based on a review of this criteria and the recommendation of the CEO, in March 2007, the Compensation Committee approved the following annual incentive bonus awards to the named executive officers (expressed as a percentage of base salary):

Named Executive Officer	Actual Bonus Award (% of Base Salary)
J. Smith	67%
S. Budd	56%
K. Connolly	63%
D. Callender	60%

Upon commencement of his employment with the Company in May 2006, Mr. Marquard’s annual incentive bonus award for fiscal 2006 was guaranteed at an amount of $160,000, which was a pro-rata share of 100% of his target bonus award for 2006.

Annual incentive bonuses are typically approved and paid in the first quarter of the year following the year in which such bonuses were earned. However, due to the fact that no annual incentive bonuses were paid with respect to our financial performance in 2005, the significant turnover in senior management during 2005 and 2006, as well as other challenges we faced during this time period, the Compensation Committee deemed it advisable to approve and pay a portion of the 2006 annual bonus during calendar year 2006 in order to aid in the retention of our executives during a critical period for the Company. Specifically, in August 2006, the Compensation Committee assessed the extent to which we had achieved our EPS and operating income performance measures for the first six months of the year. Determining that we were on course to achieve the financial performance measures previously established for the year, the Compensation Committee made a determination to guarantee payout of 40% of the 2006 incentive bonus target during calendar year 2006. Of that amount, half was paid in August 2006, with the remaining half paid in December 2006.

The decisions to award partial bonus amounts before year-end and the CEO’s guaranteed annual incentive bonus award were at the heart of our critical need to attract and retain key talent through a transition period of the Company.

Long-Term Equity Compensation

Our executives are also eligible to participate in long-term incentive programs administered pursuant to our 2004 Stock Award and Incentive Plan (the “2004 Plan”). The long-term incentive component of our compensation program is used to balance the short-term focus of the annual incentive bonus program by tying rewards to performance achieved over multi-year periods. The Compensation Committee believes that long-term incentives, and especially stock-based incentive compensation, enhance our ability to attract and retain high quality talent and provide the motivation to improve our long-term performance.

Historically, we had a practice of granting stock options to our executive officers and other employees. However, in connection with our adoption of FAS 123R, we shifted our focus to other types of equity-based awards for our executives. In 2006 and 2007, long-term incentive awards were comprised of stock-settled stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) and restricted stock. Restricted stock grants generally cliff vest at the end of a three-year period, with shares delivered to our executives upon vesting. Unless provided otherwise in an agreement, unvested restricted stock is forfeited when an executive’s service with the Company is terminated. We believe that restricted stock provides a significant link with our share price and also assists with retention of executive talent in critical positions. SARs are generally granted with an exercise price equal to the market value of the common stock on the date of grant and generally vest ratably over a three-year period. We believe that tying a significant portion of our executives’ compensation to stock price appreciation furthers the goal of aligning executive and stockholder interests.

The Compensation Committee typically approves a dollar range for the long-term equity component of compensation for each executive officer during the first quarter of each fiscal year with the goal of positioning our executives at median levels of long-term incentive compensation compared with Competitive Market Data, assuming that our financial performance measures are attained, and taking into consideration certain qualitative factors such as the executive’s strategic impact, experience and expertise. For such executives, annual grants are then approved by the Compensation Committee in the first quarter of the following year. The fair market value of these awards is within the dollar range established for each executive during the previous year. In determining the actual amount of the award within the established range, the Compensation Committee considers various factors, including our overall performance, the executive's strategic impact, alignment with stockholder interests based on equity ownership of the executive management team, total stockholder dilution and annual share utilization rates, competitive market practices and the balance with other compensation elements.

In 2006, the following levels of long-term incentive compensation were granted to each named executive officer in the form of shares of restricted stock (comprising 50% of total long-term incentive compensation awarded to each executive) and SARs (comprising 50% of total long-term incentive compensation awarded to each executive):

Named Executive Officer	Amount ($ Value)	Amount (% of Base Salary)
S. Budd	$200,000	66%
K. Connolly	$100,000	38%
D. Callender	$30,000	19%
S. Cotugno	$100,000	43%

The amounts above reflect the lower end of the dollar range that was established by the Compensation Committee in 2005 for each executive due primarily to our financial results for fiscal 2005. The FAS 123R values attributable to these awards are reported in the section of this Proxy Statement entitled “Summary Compensation Table.”

In 2007, the following levels of long-term incentive compensation granted to each executive in the form of shares of restricted stock (comprising 50% of total long-term incentive compensation awarded to each executive) and SARs (comprising 50% of total long-term incentive compensation awarded to each executive):

Named Executive Officer	Amount ($ Value)	Amount (% of Base Salary)
M. Marquard	$500,000	125%
J. Smith	$225,000	75%
K. Connolly	$200,000	74%
D. Callender	$40,000	24%

The amounts above reflect the lower end of the dollar range that was established by the Compensation Committee in 2006 for each executive. This is due primarily to the fact that while we exceeded our financial targets for 2006, we were not as favorably positioned for fiscal 2007 due to the expiration and termination of several significant sales force contracts during 2006. Although these amounts were paid with respect to 2006 performance, they are not reported in the section of this Proxy Statement entitled “Summary Compensation Table” as the FAS 123R value will correspond to their date of grant in 2007 and therefore will be reported in the summary compensation table that will be included in our 2008 proxy statement.

In connection with Mr. Marquard’s and Mr. Smith’s commencement of employment in May 2006, they received one-time initial long-term incentive grants with values of $300,000 and $200,000 respectively. Each of these grants was delivered 50% in SARs vesting ratably over a three-year period and 50% in shares of restricted stock with three-year cliff vesting. The Compensation Committee determined that these amounts were reasonable and necessary to induce these executives to forfeit certain economic opportunities with their former companies in order to join the Company in a time of transition. In addition, in February 2006, we believed it was advisable for retention purposes to award certain of our executive officers with special restricted stock awards which cliff vest 18 months following grant in an effort to ensure their continued services during this critical management transition phase. The number and grant date fair value of these awards to our named executive officers are contained in the section of this Proxy Statement entitled “Grants of Plan Based Awards.”

In the past, the Compensation Committee administered a Performance Contingent Share Program pursuant to the 2004 Plan, which provided for a certain number of shares of our common stock to be awarded upon the completion of a three-year performance period (from 2005 through 2007). Awards of shares under this program are generally contingent on varying levels of achievement of compound annual revenue growth rates within each of our business units and three-year total stockholder returns as compared with other companies from which we gather compensation marketplace data. Based on our financial results to date, it is unlikely that any shares will be awarded under this program at the end of the performance period. As a result of the uncertainties and difficulties associated with establishing long-term performance objectives that remain relevant over a three-

year period for the Company during this period of transition in implementing our long-term strategic plan, we have decided to discontinue the use of the Performance Contingent Share Program in the near term.

Regular grants of equity-based awards such as restricted stock and/or SARs are typically approved by the Compensation Committee at a meeting scheduled in March, and awards are granted on the day such grants are approved. For restricted stock, determination of the number of shares to be granted is calculated by dividing the dollar value of the award by the closing price of our stock on the day of the grant. For SARs, the number of SARs granted is calculated by dividing the dollar value of the award by the fair market value of our common stock based on a Black-Scholes calculation. For newly hired executives, if the Compensation Committee approves the equity grant prior to the date of hire, equity is granted on the date of hire with reference (either for purposes of determining the value of the restricted stock or exercise price of the SAR) to the closing price on the grant date. If the Compensation Committee approves the grant after the date of hire, the grant date of the award is the approval date, and the value of shares granted of the restricted stock or the exercise price of the SAR, as appropriate, is computed with reference to the closing price on the grant date.

Perquisites and Retirement Benefits

As a matter of practice, we provide only limited special perquisites to our executive officers. Executives are eligible for the standard benefits and programs generally available to all of our employees, plus additional financial planning and executive physical services as well as automobile benefits. In addition, in connection with his commencement of employment in May 2006, we reimbursed Mr. Marquard for a portion of the costs associated with his relocation to New Jersey.

We do not maintain any defined benefit or supplemental executive retirement programs for our executives. We do, however, maintain a 401(k) retirement plan (the “401(k) Plan”) for all of our employees. The 401(k) Plan is intended to qualify under sections 401(a) and 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and is a defined contribution plan. Effective January 1, 2004, the 401(k) Plan provided all “Safe Harbor Eligible” 401(k) Plan participants with company matching contributions in accordance with the formula described below:

Employee contributions of up to 3% of base salary will be matched 100%.

Employee contributions which exceed 3% but do not exceed 5% of base salary will be matched 50%.

Employees must meet all eligibility requirements outlined in the 401(k) Plan in order to receive matching contributions. Employees' account balances derived from our matching contributions are immediately fully vested. In addition, we can make discretionary contributions to the 401(k) Plan. Under the 401(k) Plan, there is no option for employees to invest any of their 401(k) funds in our common stock. Our contribution expense related to the 401(k) Plan for 2006 was approximately $1.3 million.

These perquisites and retirement benefits are quantified for our named executive officers in footnote 7 to the table contained in the section of this Proxy Statement entitled “Summary Compensation Table.”

Deferred Compensation Plans

We also enable our executives to defer receipt of cash compensation through participation in the Officer and Director Deferred Compensation Plan and the Senior Management Deferred Compensation Plan. The purpose of each of these plans is to allow participants to defer receipt of current cash compensation (base salary and bonus), which would allow them to maximize deferrals that could not otherwise be put into other qualified benefit plans, such as the 401(k) Plan. The plans also allow members of our Board of Directors to defer board and committee fees.

Composition of Executive Compensation

We utilize the particular elements of compensation described above because we believe that it provides a well-proportioned mix of base salary, retention value and at-risk compensation which produces short-term and long-term performance incentives and rewards. By following this portfolio approach, we provide the executive a measure of security in the minimum level of compensation he or she is eligible to receive, while motivating the executive to focus on the business metrics that will produce a high level of performance for the Company and long-term wealth creation for the executive, as well as reducing the risk of recruitment of top executive talent by competitors. The mix of metrics used for the annual incentive plan and the long-term incentive plan likewise provides an appropriate balance between short- and long-term financial and stock performance.

For key executives, the mix of compensation is leveraged in favor of at-risk compensation (annual incentive bonuses and long-term equity awards), which results primarily in a pay-for-performance orientation for our executives, which is aligned with our stated compensation philosophy of only exceeding median compensation levels if superior performance is achieved. Alternatively, if target performance is not achieved, our executives may receive total compensation that is significantly below the median range as compared with the Competitive Market Data. For our executive officers, approximately 60% of their target total compensation package is typically derived from at-risk, pay-for performance incentive compensation, with the remaining 40% comprised of base salary. Of the at-risk compensation component, approximately 50% is typically in the form of annual incentive cash bonuses while the remaining amount is in the form of long-term equity awards.

In furtherance of our philosophy of rewarding executives for future superior performance, prior stock compensation gains are not considered in setting future compensation levels.

Employment Agreements and Post-Termination Payments

In 2005, we began to phase out its use of employment agreements. We generally believe that employment agreements with a specific term do not support our pay for performance philosophy and that executives should not be entitled to guarantees in the absence of performance, nor should they be entitled to severance packages absent extenuating circumstances. Since 2005, however, we have entered into employment separation agreements with certain key executives in order to attract and retain top talent during a time of significant transition for the Company.

The following provides a description of all employment agreements and employment separation agreements that were in effect during all or a portion of 2006 for any individual who served as a named executive officer during 2006. Additional information regarding the potential value of post-termination benefits of our currently employed named executive officers can be found in the section of this Proxy Statement entitled “Potential Payments upon Termination or Change of Control.”

Former Executives

Steven K. Budd

Since May 2001, Mr. Budd had been party to an amended and restated employment agreement with the Company. Effective as of January 1, 2007, this employment agreement was terminated and replaced in its entirety with an employment separation agreement. Pursuant to Mr. Budd’s employment separation agreement, in exchange for waiving certain payments Mr. Budd was entitled to upon expiration or termination of his employment agreement, Mr. Budd became entitled to a payment of $553,777, half of which was to be paid to Mr. Budd in eight quarterly installments, beginning in February 2007. The remaining half of this amount was to be paid to Mr. Budd following termination of his employment with the Company. Further, the amended agreement provided, among other things, that, if Mr. Budd's employment was terminated without cause or if he terminated his employment for good reason (each as defined in the employment agreement), we would pay him an amount equal to six times the sum of his then current base salary and provide him with continued participation in our healthcare and welfare programs at our cost for a period of 12 months. Mr. Budd resigned from the Company, effective April 6, 2007, and pursuant to his amended employment agreement, is expected to receive a cash payment totaling approximately $519,166 in October 2007.

Stephen Cotugno

In May 2001, we entered into an amended and restated employment agreement with Stephen P. Cotugno providing for his employment as executive vice president of corporate development and investor relations. This agreement expired on November 30, 2006. The agreement had provided for an annual base salary of $175,000

(subject to yearly increases as determined by the Compensation Committee) and for participation in all executive benefits plans. The agreement also provided that Mr. Cotugno would be entitled to bonus and incentive compensation awards as determined by the Compensation Committee. Further, the agreement provided, among other things, that, if Mr. Cotugno's employment was terminated without cause or if he terminated his employment for good reason (each as defined in the employment agreement), we would pay him an amount equal to three times the sum of his then current base salary plus the average incentive compensation paid to him during the three years immediately preceding the termination date. The agreement also provided that if Mr. Cotugno’s amended and restated employment agreement was not renewed upon expiration, Mr. Cotugno would be entitled to a payment equal to his current annual base salary plus the average incentive compensation paid to him during the previous three years. Mr. Cotugno resigned from the Company, effective December 31, 2006, and received cash payments totaling approximately $480,833 pursuant to his amended and restated employment agreement.

Larry Ellberger

Mr. Ellberger served as our interim CEO until August 4, 2006, at which time he resigned. As part of an agreement and release with Mr. Ellberger, we modified the expiration date on 32,500 options that had been awarded to Mr. Ellberger while he was a member of our Board of Directors. The awards were modified to expire three years from his employee termination date. Additionally, Mr. Ellberger could have earned up to 50,000 shares of common stock based on the performance of our stock price during the performance period from August 15, 2005 through March 31, 2007. Mr. Ellberger was not awarded any shares based on this potential award. In connection with his resignation from the Company in August 2006, Mr. Ellberger received a cash severance payment of $125,000 in January 2007 pursuant to his release agreement.

Bernard Boyle

In May 2001, we entered into an amended and restated employment agreement with Bernard C. Boyle providing for his employment as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. The agreement provided for an annual base salary of $250,000 (subject to yearly increases as determined by the Compensation Committee), and for participation in all executive benefit plans. The agreement also provided that Mr. Boyle would be entitled to bonus and incentive compensation awards as determined by the Compensation Committee. Further, the agreement provided, among other things, that, if Mr. Boyle's employment was terminated without cause (as defined in the agreement) or if he terminated his employment for good reason (as defined in the agreement), we would pay him an amount equal to three times the sum of his then current base salary plus the average incentive compensation paid to him during the three years immediately preceding the termination date. On August 10, 2005, we announced that Mr. Boyle would resign from his position as Chief Financial Officer with the Company effective December 31, 2005. Effective December 31, 2005, we entered into an amended agreement with Mr. Boyle, pursuant to which Mr. Boyle deferred his resignation until March 31, 2006. As per the terms of his employment agreement, Mr. Boyle received approximately $1.4 million in January 2006, which was disclosed in our summary compensation table in our 2006 proxy statement.

Stock Ownership Guidelines

We have adopted stock ownership guidelines effective January 1, 2007 that are intended to require our executive officers and non-employee directors to own common stock. Such individuals must retain at least 50% of net shares delivered through our executive and director compensation plans. Net shares refer to those that remain after shares are sold or netted to pay the exercise price of stock options and withholding taxes for stock options, restricted stock and SARs. These shares must be retained until the earliest of (1) three years from the date of exercise or vesting; (2) retirement; or (3) termination of employment. Failure to comply with these ownership guidelines may result in reduced levels of annual and/or long-term incentive compensation despite meeting performance level targets.

Impact of Tax and Accounting

As a general matter, the Compensation Committee takes into the account the various tax and accounting implications of the various compensation vehicles utilized by the Company. When determining amounts of long-term incentive awards to executives, the Compensation Committee examines the accounting costs associated with awarding such equity compensation in accordance with FAS 123R.

Section 162(m) of the Code, generally disallows a tax deduction to publicly held companies for compensation over $1 million paid to our chief executive officer and our four other most highly compensated executive officers. To the extent that compensation is based upon the attainment of performance goals set by the Compensation Committee pursuant to plans approved by the stockholders, the compensation is not included in the computation of the limit. The Compensation Committee intends, to the extent feasible and where it believes it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders, to qualify executive compensation as tax deductible where it does not adversely affect the Compensation Committee’s development and execution of effective compensation plans. The Compensation Committee intends to maintain the flexibility to take actions it considers to be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.

Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control

The following table reflects the amount of compensation that would be payable to each of our currently employed named executive officers upon termination of such executive’s employment in accordance with their respective employment separation agreements and restricted stock grant agreements. The amounts shown assume that such termination was effective as of December 31, 2006, and thus includes amounts earned through such time and are estimates of the amounts which would be paid out to the executives upon their termination. The actual amounts to be paid out can only be determined at the time of such executive’s separation from the Company.

These amounts are based on the value of restricted shares of common stock held at December 31, 2006 that would become immediately vested upon a change of control pursuant to the applicable restricted stock grant agreement.

The amounts shown in the table above do not include payments and benefits to the extent they are provided on a non-discriminatory basis to salaried employees generally upon termination, including accrued vacation pay, distributions of plan balances under the 401(k) Plan and payments of amounts under disability insurance policies.

For a discussion of the payments made to Steven K. Budd, Stephen Cotugno, Larry Ellberger and Bernard Boyle in connection with their respective terminations of employment with the Company during 2006 and 2007, see the section of this Proxy Statement entitled “Compensation Discussion and Analysis - Employment Agreements and Post-Termination Payments - Former Executives.”

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

Our Audit Committee Charter provides that the Audit Committee must review and approve or disapprove all proposed related party transactions, including all transactions required to be disclosed by applicable SEC disclosure rules. When reviewing and evaluating a related party transaction, the Audit Committee may consider, among other things, any effect a transaction may have upon a director’s independence, whether the transaction involves terms and conditions that are no less favorable to us than those that could be obtained in an arm’s length transaction with an unrelated third party, the commercial reasonableness of the transaction, the transaction’s benefit to the Company and any other matters the Audit Committee deems appropriate. Our management will notify the Audit Committee of new proposed related party transactions of which they become aware and any material changes to any previously approved or ratified related party transactions.

Peter Dugan, the son of John P. Dugan, the chairman of our Board of Directors, is employed by us as Executive Director, Business Development. In 2006, compensation paid or accrued to Peter Dugan was $134,342.

OTHER MATTERS

The Company knows of no other matters to be submitted to the meeting. If any other matters properly come before the meeting, it is the intention of the persons named in the enclosed form of proxy to vote the shares they represent as the Board of Directors may recommend.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Householding

The SEC’s rules permit companies and intermediaries such as brokers to satisfy delivery requirements for proxy statements and annual reports with respect to two or more stockholders sharing the same address by delivering a single proxy statement and annual report addressed to those stockholders. This process, which is commonly referred to as “householding,” potentially provides extra convenience for stockholders and cost savings for companies. Some brokers household proxy materials and annual reports, delivering a single proxy statement and annual report to multiple stockholders sharing an address, although each stockholder will receive a separate proxy card. Once you have received notice from your broker that they will be householding materials to your address, householding will continue until you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent. If at any time you no longer wish to participate in householding and would prefer to receive a separate proxy statement and annual report, please notify your broker. If you would like to receive a separate copy of this year’s Proxy Statement or Annual Report, please contact us by writing to Jeffrey Smith, Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, PDI, Inc., Saddle River Executive Centre, 1 Route 17 South, Saddle River, New Jersey 07458, or calling him at 1-800-242-7494.

Stockholder Proposals for the 2008 Annual Meeting

Stockholders interested in presenting a proposal for consideration at the annual meeting of stockholders in 2008 must follow the procedures found in Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act and our bylaws. To be eligible for inclusion in our proxy materials relating to our 2008 annual meeting of stockholders, all qualified proposals must be received by our Corporate Secretary no later than January 2, 2008. Stockholder proposals submitted more than thirty but less than sixty days before the scheduled date of our 2008 annual meeting may be presented at the annual meeting if such proposal complies with our bylaws, but will not be included in our proxy materials. A stockholder’s notice must set forth, as to each proposed matter: (i) as to each person whom the stockholder proposes to nominate for election to the Board of Directors, all information relating to such person that is required to be disclosed in solicitation of proxies for election of directors in an election contest, or is otherwise required, in each case pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act and Rule 14a-11 thereunder; (ii) a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the annual meeting and the reasons for conducting such business at the annual meeting and, if such business includes a proposal to amend our bylaws, the language of the proposed amendment; (iii) the name and address, as they appear on our books, of the stockholder proposing such business; (iv) the number of shares of Company common stock which are beneficially owned by such stockholder; (v) a representation that the stockholder is a holder of record of shares of the Company’s common stock entitled to vote at such annual meeting and intends to appear in person or by proxy at the annual meeting to propose such business; and (vi) any financial interest of the stockholder in such proposal or nomination.
