John Rocker Writes Book On Immigration

SpkEngl.jpegFormer Major League Baseball pitcher John Rocker is starting a campaign to encourage English-speaking Americans to start demanding respect from legal and illegal immigrants who do not speak English.  

Rocker is also pushing for immigrants to respect the customs, heritage and culture of the United States.  

In a news release, Rocker said the “‘Speak English’ campaign is to encourage people to promote and support the sustainment of the American heritage and the American culture. This campaign is in no way intended to degrade or demean the cultures or heritages of others’ nationalities or races, but instead to bolster American nationalism and promote pride in the American culture.” To further his cause, Rocker is selling “Speak English” T-shirts on his Web site.

Customer retention, satisfaction and loyalty, all depend on how well the person at the other end of the line handles the customer.

So how can we convince these companies to realize the importance of providing decent call-center services? At our end, we have created a hall of fame and shame where we honor the companies that have made customer service a priority and shame those that haven’t.

It’s in the shoes . . .

You can forget to carry your phone, and you can forget to wear a watch, but you can’t leave the house and forget to put on your shoes.

Daniel has developed shoes embedded with GPS technology that can locate the wearer anywhere in the world. His design allows wearers to press a button hidden near the shoe’s lace to send a distress signal.
