About the Company TeleReach Corporate has been in business since 1996 Tracie Chancellor, Founder & President Headquartered in Texas Small privately owned, growing business See Vision and Mission Statements at www.telereachjobs.com Click on letter from the President Operates within a virtual environment The business model of TeleReach is a bridge that closes the gap between the traditional way to work and the modern way to work. We are a business-to-business virtual call center comprised of a growing network of home office appointment-setters. We are proud of our ability to contribute to the improvement of the economy, the environment and individual quality of life by providing our Callers the freedom and flexibility of working from home 3
A Culture of Self Management Our virtual model is a significant departure from a traditional call center structure. Our model relies on the right people and not the structure. Our virtual model relies on our ability to create and sustain a culture of self management by hiring the right people. Working from home is extremely difficult and not for everyone. Our virtual environment and pay system allows us to provide higher pay to callers and the freedom of working from home. However, the freedom of working from home is not free. The price is responsibility. 4
