In this podcast:

“How do you staff call centers and keep them staffed?”

Jim Stroud misses Karen Mattonen as he flies solo on this podcast. What’s inside? A sponsor, a big idea and a shameless self-promotional plug.

Here are some of the highlights:

Shout-out to ERE (0:45)
Right after a word from our sponsor – Work Giant (1:19)
What’s “The Big Idea?” (2:00)
Will brainstorm for food (and the occassional techno-goody!) (2:35)
Jet Blue does it! Why not you? (3:20)
Thar’s PR Gold in dem dar hills! (4:45)
50% off and free texting for those who qualify (5:15)
Oh come on, I’m allowed at least one shameless plug on my own podcast (6:03)
Th-th-that’s all folks (6:33)
