About this book

Telebusiness is not yet a commonplace word but as explored in the book, it does encompass the combined activities now being performed by a minority of businesses who have succeeded in making the telephone an integral and profitable part of business strategy and operation.
More often, telesales is a 'bolt-on' activity to the sales department. Telemarketing is an add on task for the marketing or research department. Telemanagement is a responsibility given to someone already managing another business area. Telecommunications is a field entrusted mainly to computer professionals. Telestrategy is set only by those implementing or running dedicated 'call centres'. Combining these is a marriage normally contracted out to bureau's.
This book explains how to perform and achieve this combination in simple and practical terms.
