Setting up and Cold Calling Leads with more than 2 phone numbers?

Setting up and Cold Calling Leads with more than 2 phone numbers?

We are cold calling people. When a lead comes in it has a list of 1-12 possible phone numbers that might work for that lead.  Our leads utilize the built-in "Mobile" and "Phone" fields along with 10 custom phone number fields. We have to manually dial each number and use our cell phone to call.

Each lead will use 1-12 of these fields:
  1. Phone
  2. Mobile
  3. Phone #3
  4. Phone #4
  5. Phone #5
  6. Phone #6
  7. Phone #7
  8. Phone #8
  9. Phone #9
  10. Phone #10
  11. Phone #11
  12. Phone #12
There has to be a better way than this because I'm sure we're not the only company calling more than 2 numbers per lead, right?

My questions are:
  1. What would be the wisest way to store 12 numbers attached to a lead that we can cold call? 
  2. What telephony plugin would be best (and inexpensive) to use for this setup? (eg. something that lets us click to call and tracks each outgoing call and the result). It could use a Voip number or our cell, doesn't matter.
Can anyone recommend something they use and like?

I understand how to send an email to multiple contacts at multiple clients - and indeed I am able to attach the CV of a candidate through 'browse'. Obviously this does not associate it with the candidate though, only the contact it is sent to. Is there any way to do this? Thanks in advance.

Are we able to embed HTML into our emails to make them look as part of our business ? Branding is very big issue for us and i would like to make sure that all branding efforts are carried across into the notification emails.. 2. Is there a way to preview the notifications that are sent out to our customers so we can make sure the look and feel is as we require ? thanks
