Recently, I had one of those great days in Redmond, a small town in Central Oregon. I was there to participate in the official opening of our newest call center, an expansion designed to help us to better meet our growth needs as we surpass 850,000 customers. This new space was already configured to be a call center, a 77,000-square-foot facility previously operated by another cell phone service provider.<\/p>\n
On the date of the call center\u2019s official opening, we held a ribbon-cutting ceremony in the morning, which was attended by several local and state dignitaries, including the mayor of Redmond, a representative from the Governor\u2019s office, numerous politicians and business leaders, as well as our newest call center team.<\/p>\n
By that same afternoon our Redmond call center was up and running and taking its first Consumer Cellular support calls. I’ve added a few photographs from our ribbon-cutting ceremony to this blog post. There\u2019s a photo of Tiffany, our Redmond site manager, making a speech and three of us (I\u2019m in the middle) cutting the \u201cribbon.\u201d<\/p>\n
Popular broadcast journalist Tom Brokaw once said, \u201cIt’s easy to make a buck. It’s a lot tougher to make a difference.\u201d While all companies are in business to make a buck, I can\u2019t think of a better legacy for any company than to also make a difference.<\/p>\n
