By 5 years old a child can walk
Has learnt to play and sing and talk
With words of wisdom from those who care
She learns to give and take and share
So in 5 years there’s much to learn
In both work and in play
At times advice can mean one thing
And change by the next day
But with Call Centre Helper, this isn’t true
Advice is great at best
Why read another magazine
When this beats all the rest?

I have been a regular subscriber to Call Centre Helper for some time now and find it a great source of information. I share articles with colleagues and direct then to the newsletter for subscription. It is great to have access to the 1,000s of experts who read and contribute to the newsletter. Here’s to another 5 years!!

Yay Chris Jones…and so say all of us!

Well done Jonty and the team. So much done, so much to do! The industry has come a long way in 5 years. I just looked up the top predictions in 2002 and it all talked about CRM and systems…now its customer experience and people & process so things have moved on !

Happy birthday call centre helper!
Because im not based in the UK and find it hard to hear the ‘jungle drums’, this site has been a godsend. Soooo, whether your in the jungles of Africa or down coronation street, dont forget to log on my fellow herbivores!

For volume of comments alone James Portcullis, whomever he may be deserves a bottle of champagne
I have found call centre helper to be invaluable for keeping up to date with what is current hot in the world of Contact Centres and also coaching tips etc. I always look forward to it popping into my inbox.
Keep up the good work. Thanks

Thanks for the kind words. A bottle of champagne that would be great hic hic.
I retired from call centre work five years ago, after 15 years in the business. I have a bit of time on my hands and still like to see how the industry is developing (helps my ailing share portfolio).
Thanks
James
