		<description><![CDATA[The CEO and COO of KUNNECT recently visited the Philippines to launch its call center technology solutions to the Philippine BPO market. Fred Cote, co-founder and CEO, spoke at the October 12 meeting of the members of the Call Center Association of the Philippines (CCAP) in Shangri-La Hotel Makati.

		<description><![CDATA[A long time ago not too far away, everything had a price tag because there were not much options available. If something was given away for free, it was more of a privilege than the norm. “Buy One Get One Free” and other big sales promotions were never much of a big deal as life was good, simple and easy. That's change dramatically today, especially for business people.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Personal finance is not about family finance, not company finance nor is it someone else’s personal finance. It is about managing what you earn, what you spend it on and, the most important thing that many Filipinos procrastinate to do – where to invest the extra money you save. It’s not being selfish – it’s being prudent.]]></description>

He flowcharts the song!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Are call center training schools really producing candidates for the various small or large call center companies around the country with inadequate skills for promotion? Is the Philippines creating a population akin to factory workers of decades ago hype? Is the call center industry in the verge of imploding because of the increasing cost of training only entry level people, driving the cost of outsourcing in the Philippines higher?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What is a problem? Problems are unresolved dilemmas and conflicts for which answers have not yet been found. In the world of business centers and call centers, problems live in the "immediate" and, as its description, need immediate solutions, too. We both don't know if you can use my solution to solve your call center problems until we meet, talk and decide - within 5 minutes, tops!]]></description>
