Serious question (for a change)

Nice try, but UK customers being dealt with Indian staff? I don't think so.

Yeah, that will never catch on.

Oh, wait...

I'm sure you can get these kinds of enterprises with local call handlers - do a search - use that groo, er, goolg, erm, yahoo.

Yeah, if it's good enough for Barclays it's not good enough for us.

I've tried a couple of plan B's over the years. Now I just stick to what I know and hope soon there will be stuff worth investing in, that offers a decent return, and isn't as risky as a trip to the casino.

My Plan B: Refer to Plan A.

I'm due to outsource a whole load of donkeywork to Get Friday, has nothing to do with customer service though.

I'd probably hire some nice sounding americans for that if they were cheaper than over here which they probably are.

Depends what you need them to do, I'm outsourcing research at the moment.

I'm going to call them and see if:

A. They can understand my business needs
B. I can understand a word they say.

I wonder if there is a similar service in some (cheap) American/Canadian backwater.

Actually I've just had an idea......thanks for the heads up by the way. The last thing I want to do is hire a permie UK bod. Never!

Get a bench-sitter to do it. £10 an hour is better than nowt.
