                 Customer Testimonials - Must Read

Now that you've looked through the Focus Call Center web site, you can see why we
are prepared to meet the challenge of providing your company and clients with the
quality answering service you deserve, but don't just take our word for it...

"Our television documentary, "Jews & Christians: A Journey of Faith," has been playing for four
years on over two-hundred public television stations nationwide.  Focus has been doing an
extraordinary job in providing rapid, accurate and courteous service in handling the many calls
that come in after the program is aired on the various stations across the country.  I am also
impressed with Focus's ability to handle such a barrage of multiple calls following the airing of
the program.  We have received numerous compliments from viewers who were impressed by
the way they were treated during the call ordering process.  I heartily recommend their
services.
  When you work with Focus, it's more than working with a company; it's like working
with family."
    G. Krell, President Auteur Productions, LTD.
 

“We have been very satisfied customers of Focus for several years. We don't even think about our answering service..... it just keeps going and going.”
            T.M., TM Associates (Property Management)

“For 10 years, Focus Comm Centers has provided our company with excellent service. All calls are executed in a timely and professional manner and the staff is always respectful and helpful. Emergencies are handled with urgency, care and with enough detail that we are able to jump on the situation immediately when we get the call. We appreciate all that you do.”
             R.F., Capital Realty Management Group

“Pop those champagne corks. Occasions and Focus have been together for 10 years. That's an entire decade without having to give up a single Saturday! Occasions has grown considerately over the years and since 1998 Focus has kept up with us every step of the way. That is so very important as our staff has more than tripled in our sales office alone. With all Focus has to offer, Occasions can and does put itself into their capable hands at a moments notice. I will keep recommending Focus to anyone who asks about our wonderful answering service. Here's looking forward to another 10 years of growth and teamwork!”
            D.D, Occasions Caterers

“The service is going nice and smooth. Anytime I need to make changes to the On Call Schedule, the changes are made. Everyone is so nice and professional!”
             K.M, Static Power

“A situation occurred over the weekend where a vehicle knocked down a sprinkler pipe in a parking garage and our reaction was so quick that we eliminated further property damage!”
             
P.G., Darnestown Management

“15 years of dependable service.  What more can I say?  If you want a thorough service, call Focus.  I can sleep at night!” 
        J.C., President CWR Janitorial Services

“Excellent service; no problems”
       Leslie, Priority Engineering

"I would highly recommend the service"
             Dr M., Psychiatrist

“Focus has been a very good answering the phones when I am out of the office or unavailable.  And I find it especially convenient to have immediate email records of incoming calls.”

            L.B., Lifecare Advisors

“Anne, just wanted to write to you about how pleased I am with your service.
Your operators are always very thorough and polite. It's a pleasure working
with a professional company.”

               R.A., Maloney Aire

“Great Service!  We receive calls promptly.  I can always call and speak with a supervisor.  When I change on-call, I get a prompt response.”

               A.T., DH Bader Management

"Wonderful Service"

     R. Finch, CRM

"Focus has been very helpful."
   C. Nance, Ashton Woods Apartments
 
"What wonderful service.  No issues what so ever.  I highly recommend Focus!"
  K. Duke Sullivan, Reflection Apartments

"Keep up the Good work (Focus)"
     J. Cheney, CWR
 

"Focus has been our answering service for a number of years and has successfully supported a
complex and busy after-hours health care service.  Focus has worked with us collaboratively to
make continuous improvements and is always there to help us out in special situations."
   L. Scott, Johns Hopkins Home Care Group
 

"My definition of Great Service is caring about the clients needs and your company is doing a great job for us"

L. Ketara, Owings Park


"Focus is one of the most efficient and professional organizations which we have come to work with."

H. Theoharis
 

"We set out to upgrade our service to include a live operator.  We felt our callers needed the
assurance that their call to us was worth more than being sent through a voice mail system. 
The live operator has worked and has succeeded in making our firm extremely responsive on
a 24 hour basis and the follow-up, by Focus, when we have concerns has been highly
professional.  I can certainly and willingly say I would recommend your services to
any firm that wished to inquire. 
Please don't hesitate to have any prospective client give
me a call."
  J. Keman CPM, Hagner Management Corporation
 

"Previously we had used (a medical answering service) and were always disappointed with
the results.  When new patients call our practice during or after hours, I want them to receive
personalized attention and the opportunity to talk to a human being, not a recording system. 
The staff at your office has met our needs in a professional and efficient manner.  In addition,
your operators have always been responsive to changes in the format of our answering system
protocol.  Through the years, I have always recommended Focus answering service to
colleagues; I will continue to recommend your Answering Service to anyone - without
qualification."
      K. Ellis, Ph.D.

"You have a great service!" 
       B. Kidd, The Victoria

"I think Focus is a great company!" 
       B. Wingfield, St. Paul Senior Living

"We honestly couldn't be happier with the top-notch service they provide us.  They make us
feel like a business partner, not a number.  We have made a great decision to work with
them, and we would gladly recommend them to anyone
."
      E. Seda, Crowell and Baker Assoc.

"When we desperately needed your telemarketing help with our first Champion Series (in
which 12 chambers of commerce participated), you came through again by increasing our
attendance by over 50%.  Most recently, you dramatically helped the registrations for our
first ever, Montgomery Business Week. Your professional outbound telemarketing staff is
energetic, polite and pleasantly persistent!  When it comes to getting people off their butts
and to events, you need a great telemarketing team!  Focus Call Center is a sure bet!"
    C. Chiet, Publisher Montgomery Business Gazette

"Focus Telecommunications now handles calls on our 1-800 number 24 hours a day and
makes all our Travel Plaza Reservations.  They do our fulfillment for discount coupons,
road warrior discount cards and passport incentives cards to all our customers.  They
demonstrate a high degree of professionalism with the customers and they cover all the
details required to make things successful.  They are very innovative in finding ways to
better serve our companies needs.  I feel that any company would benefit by using
the services of Focus
."
    E. Cavanaugh, Host Marriott Services (HMS Host)

"I wanted to convey my appreciation for the fine job you folks at Focus have been providing
my firm.  Ever since my firm switched (from another answering service) to Focus, we have
observed a noticeable change.  We enjoy the professional manner in which our image is
projected by your staff to our potential and existing customers.  In fact, I can honestly say
that we have received several compliments over the past seven years from customers about
the timeliness and accuracy of the messages relayed by your staff to mine.  Thank you very
much for the great service and continued support you have given my firm's
operations and me. 
I wish you all the best with your firm's success and growth."
    J. Cheney, President C.W.R. Inc.

"The STTAR Center has utilized Focus' services for the last four years.  Since we are a crisis
center, our telephone support needs are urgent and complex.  The staff at Focus has done
an amazing job handling our changing schedules and on-call information, and at the same
time has provided empathetic, competent support to our clients."
    S. London, Sexual Trauma Treatment, Advocacy and Recovery Center, Inc.

"I hope you will seriously consider choosing Focus as your provider!  We have been
using them as our 24X7 answering service for over five years now.  They have seen us
through countless employees,endless procedure changes and even through company changes! 
The good thing about them is that they are very flexible.  When ever we needed to make
changes to our greeting or add/change procedure numbers our requests were processed
immediately.  A big plus is that there is always a supervisor on duty to take care of our
occasional last minute change requests.  I have personally worked with their on-call
coordinators and I must say they exhibit the finest customer service.  They even send out
company newsletters with their invoices, which makes getting the bills not so rough.  It is
nice to see a company who clearly values its employees as well as its clients."
    A. Toro, MARC Global Services, LLC

"Thank you for the excellent service your company has provided us in the past years as our
answering service.  We look forward to expanding our working relationship with you in the
future as we begin telemarketing.  We are sure this new venture with your company will also
be very beneficial to us."
    M. Biederman, Parker Heating & Air Conditioning, Inc.
    (winner of the National Medal of Excellence)

"The professionalism shown by your staff has been exceptional in the day and age when such
a quality is hard to come by.  On the rare occasions when we have experienced a problem, the
staff at Focus has taken every step necessary to correct the problem and to make sure it does
not happen again.  I am sure our business relationship will continue for many years to come. 
Keep up the good work
."
   D. Avery-Hall, Avery Elevator Corp.
 

                                         
 

"The service received has been of the highest professional quality.  From the first day of
service, communication between our staff and all members of Focus Telecommunications,
has been quick, concise, and friendly.  The staff were able to recognize and direct a variety
of calls to the appropriate technician in a variety of circumstances.  Working with the supervisory
staff has resulted in a satisfactoryresolution to every concern.  I anticipate a successful and
enjoyable working relationship in the future."
    D. Bragaw, Utility Service Express, LLC

"TTE of Maryland, Inc. has been using Focus for our after hours answering service for approx.
13 years with excellent results.  With our business being service related to long distance
outbound & inbound with travel cards for business & residential, it is critical for our customers
to talk with a live person 24-7.  Adding the fact that our customers are in 40+ states, it is easy
to see that dependability and professionalism is absolutely vital for TTE to provide the level of
customer service we are known for.  When someone asks if we are satisfied with our answering
service my response is.. 13 years with the same organization speaks for our level
of satisfaction."

    K. Wood, President TTE of Maryland, Inc.
