A Culture of Self ManagementOur 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 Business Development Specialists and the freedom of working from home. However, the freedom of working from home is not free. The price is responsibility.
