JAG ASSOCIATES EXPANDING WORLWIDE

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) October 16, 2007 --

GRASS VALLEY , CA jag10kaweek.com. The reasons for outsourcing to a call center offshore are many. First, let's face it, most people from the West would rather be doing anything other than making cold sales calls. But to Filipinos, call centers are some of the best employers around. Sure, they have to work in the middle of the night, but the knowledge they gain is tremendous and the pay is some of the best out of college. Now you might cringe to know that the average starting salary in Philippine call centers is about $200-275 per month. But compare that to most convenience or department store jobs that keep you at about $140 per month and you gain little applicable work experience and the choice is clear. Call center jobs in the Philippines are the way to go.

While most Filipinos speak Americanized English and know American culture, very few do it with the kind of clarity that we will require. Remember that we will need to "fool" our Western prospects into believing that they are speaking to someone from your own country when speaking to your Philippines call center agents. It's kind of unsettling to know that the person giving you directions to the local Applebee's has never set foot on American soil...much less your city. Therefore, our only choice is one of the two largest cities in the Philippines, Manila or Cebu . Up until recently, bandwidth and connectivity problems kept most call centers out of Cebu, opting instead for Metro-Manila, more specifically Makati, Ortigas, and now Manila/Malate. Obviously you can't have a reliable voice-over IP connection if your bandwidth provider can't deliver. We have chosen Makati because we have family currently doing business there. In addition, this will help facilitate signing a leasing agreement.


Call centers in the Philippines are a great opportunity for our business to maximize its efficiency abroad. While they are not as easy to setup as a business from the US , once finished, we feel it will be very stable.
