Services

Everybody is in the service business these days, correct?  We think so. 

Customers and clients want their problems solved in an expeditious manner, with as little cost and headache as possible.  We think the midwestern values and pleasant demeanor of our county's residents make for excellent employees in this business segment.  We also have the infrastructure and square footage to accomodate call centers for industries which rely on phone communications with customers.  We are anxious to discuss the possibilities with companies looking for locations and workers in this area.

people still use the phone?

Sure they do!  It seems like the business world has nearly turned into a 24-hour per day venture.  But even with the convenience of the Internet, sometimes your clients need to speak to a live person.  We are fortunate to still have a local phone company - CT Communications - which also operates a 24/7 message center for business clients in various industries, such as:  funeral homes, physicians’ offices, construction companies, repair services, real estate and temporary staffing agencies just to name a few.  For more information on CT Communications and their services, click here.
