I’m fortunate that my career lets me understand and appreciate what Homeshoring offers.  My experiences taught me Homeshoring isn’t always easy, but ultimately rewarding on many levels. 

Through high school and college, I worked in the newspaper industry, first in Southern California then in Seattle.  I did everything from subscription sales to customer service calls.  Dealing with irate customers in Seattle was always interesting – especially about wet papers.

I got a technical degree , eventually working for a late 80′s technology startup.  They developed a product that revolutionized Call Centers.  It was one of the first autodialers, that detected whether a human or answering machine answered.

The product and company took off and I ended up holding several roles.  Customers were in banking, retail, and telecommunications.  The constant travel took me to some of the best run – and some less than successful Call Centers. 

The third experience was a few years later.  My wife and I took a hobby and ended up with a very successful online company – all from our house.  The company grew rapidly and we were forced to learn how to be an effective home based team. 

HomeShoring is the mix of the experiences I’ve been luck to have. HomeShoring is a movement  that will continue to grow an evolve.  All sides win – when Homeshoring is done right.

Since they’re closely related, we’ll also explore Telecommuting and also Home based small businesses.  There are many common elements to these three areas – and the line will continue to blur.

As I mentioned earlier, HomeShoring done right is rewarding and fun.  We’ll talk about how to keep it that way – and what you need to do to be successful.
