With Christmas and New Year’s Day falling are on Wednesday this year, I will take a two-week break from blogging (on this blog) since I know you won’t be reading posts on those days anyway.
Look for my next post on Wednesday, January 8, 2014!
(Some of you experienced frustration in not being able to comment on recent posts. I apologize for the problem and am pleased to report the the problem has been fixed, as well as the second problem that was caused by fixing the first one!)
Again, happy holidays!
Call center locator site receives overhaul to better highlight leading outsourcing contact centers around the world.
Peter DeHaan announced the complete overhaul of his popular call center locator website, FindACallCenter.com. FindACallCenter.com highlights leading outsourcing call centers from the United States and around the world in an easy-to-use directory for businesses and organizations that seek to outsource call center and contact center work.
“Contrary to popular opinion, most of these outsourcing call centers are located within the United States and not offshore,” said publisher and editor Peter DeHaan, PhD. “Though we do have a section for those who desire to look offshore, we highlight call centers located in North America: the United States and Canada.”
The new website merges the listings and content from three formerly separate sites: FindACallCenter.com, FindATeleserviceAgency.com, and FindAnAnsweringService.com. “All of this information is now conveniently located in one place,” said Peter DeHaan, president of Peter DeHaan Publishing Inc and owner of the directory. “Plus, we changed platforms and added new features.” The site also encompasses the call center listings from Connections Magazine and the healthcare contact center listings from AnswerStat magazine, resulting in a truly unified call center directory.
“The old site was showing its age,” said Peter DeHaan, the site’s principle designer. “Users will appreciate its new, clean look, as well as the ease of finding and viewing information.”
Call centers, contact centers, and telephone answering services that want to be added to the directory, can learn more at the “more info” tab at the site.
