A branded merch not only get you loyalty, but practical use that can remind you who cares during these times. It can also get you more than enough brand recall, a perfect tool for marketing especially in the Asia Pacific region.

Calling India Better

Wednesday, March 31, 2010


I
have my cousin Quincy in India. She got married last year to a man we haven't met before. I think she met him in the same corporation she works for that caters to international clients. I literally had no idea when she transferred residency from New Jersey to Mumbai. I know it was kind of abrupt and thinking about it, it was like a whirlwind romance; ones that you only get to read off romance novels. It just started with long distance calls and a couple of email exchanges. She told me it was nothing serious when we talked because I know it would be impossible with the distance. After a few months she just contacted me and told me the circumstances... she called using calling cards that made everything look like the guy was next door.

Reliance India call also provides this service and they are better. Other ordinary VOIP services have everything metered and literally costs too much. Much to my surprise, they don't have any hidden costs for hang up/disconnected calls. They do not even charge anything for maintenance or long usage. That to me is a number one requirement when doing business. I applaud my cousin for getting this far with her relationship and business because we know how important hearing a person's voice is. It makes you feel the other person on the line and empathize in real time. I know things would have been never possible if not for this technology. I love how it works and from the looks of it, I'll recommend this to my colleagues in the BPO industry so they can call India better.

Mumbai, India Terror Attacks

Thursday, November 27, 2008


Firefighters try to douse a fire at the Taj Mahal hotel in Mumbai, India.

I watched CNN this morning and saw the attacks in Mumbai, India. I saw a lot of people dead... last count was 120 I think... and they are still holding some hostages. I know a couple of people in that city because of my work... and some of them are also my blogging friends. I together with other people are extremely worried. This is a true act of terror.

Muslim Militants thought to be tied to extremists outside of this country stormed railway systems, business establishments and now this hotel this Wednesday and Thursday in a so called coordinated attack against this country, their prime minister said.This is creepy, he's one of the terrorists who stormed the Taj Mahal Hotel. Look at his face OMG! O_O


World leaders are appalled by the said act and urged the government of India to take quick actions to stop this acts of terror throughout their country. I just hope this does not happen to yours or my neighborhood! I pray that everyone would be safe... and these terrorists be put to justice after these attacks. As of this writing they are still holding hostages inside the building and in different locations around India. Let us pray for them that they get through this.

CRM Systems and Me At Work!

Tuesday, October 28, 2008

Toxic work at the office? Try mine next time! ^_^

Today is going to be a different day. I’m going to tell you how hard my work is. Some of you may not know but I currently work for a Fortune 500 corporation that engages with a few businesses here, the US, Europe, Argentina and India. With a customer base counting millions; it’s a necessity to provide customer relation systems that would provide fast and efficient information in this field. It’s used to service operations for customer service, technical support, return merchandise authorization and business process outsourcing. With the data given by these so called systems we analyze our target-marketing campaigns. We need to conceive business strategies to equate to the results that clients need.

Our crm system combine policies, processes, and strategies implemented by our corporation and unify customer interaction to provide a mechanism for tracking customer information. This is where our business runs and where we stand. We give the companies we do business with to provide a holistic approach and excellence in customer service. With our hybrid business model, we have the capability to meet requirements in North America or offshore. Through our centers in the United States, Philippines and China we are now delivering world class solutions for:

* Sales and Marketing Services

* Technical and Customer Support

* Back office Processing

* Print and Fulfillment

We ensure the success of thousands of other businesses. This is just a bit of how complicated life is for me. We partner with our clients to provide a hybrid model for 24x7 customer service solutions from our Greenville, South Carolina and Rochester, New York locations as well as three locations in the Philippines. I’m part of the BPO Department (and a very technical account) which handles the smooth transition of these processes. We currently have over 2,700 representatives communicating through several channels including inbound and outbound calls, email and chat support. Part of the job is to construct the most appropriate program to meet strategic, business and customer service goals while utilizing the technology necessary to support the procedures such as proprietary management tools to capture valuable customer information. We go beyond certifications to assure the protection of crm systems and information.

With integrated real time reporting generated by award winning software, you can easily see how we consistently exceed expectations. I’m proud of my work and what I’m doing right now. I hope you feel the same way about your jobs no matter how complicated life is. Aren't you glad you ain't working for me? Lolz!
