July 26th, 2010 by Chris NicoliCows, a common bond between Chick-fil-A and Teltek
Last week I attended a presentation sponsored by the American Marketing Association where Dan Cathy, CEO of Chick-fil-A, discussed his company’s history and values. About five minutes into his talk, I picked up my Blackberry and started to take notes. On average, I probably attend similar events 3-5 times a month, but never have I been as intrigued by a presenter as I was with Mr. Cathy’s message.
Our readers know I rarely, if ever, blog about something other than technology, telecommunications trends, customer questions and answers, a new product or a special/ promotion, but I really think his message should be shared with as many people as possible.

Teltek Assists with an Extreme Makeover Project!
July 12th, 2010 by Carrie GreenTeltek was thrilled to be invited to participate in Extreme Makeover: Home Edition’s latest project; construction of a facility for teenage girls in Northeast Baltimore for Girls Hope. Boys Hope Girls Hope, http://new.boyshopegirlshope.org/baltimore/About.aspx, is a nonprofit organization which empowers young people to reach their fullest potentials through community service and education. A facility already exists for the boys and the one under construction will serve as a safe haven for Baltimore’s teenage girls. According to ABC, this is the largest project Extreme Makeover: Home Edition has ever orchestrated.
Homesafe Security Systems, http://www.homesafesecurity.com asked us to join them in running cable for the phones, televisions, computers and security system. Seven Teltek team members arrived on site this past Sunday in their blue EMHE t-shirts and white hardhats to pull cable and install hardware. It was an amazing feeling to work alongside so many talented individuals toward a common and charitable goal. We will be posting photos of the experience to the Teltek website soon.
If you would like to contribute your skills, money or materials to the effort, please visit http://www.excelhomes.com/baltimoreextreme for a detailed outline of what exactly is needed to complete this extraordinary project.
Are Your Phones Ready for Life Support?
July 12th, 2010 by Chris NicoliOne thing you may notice lately is that the life expectancy of phone equipment is not what it used to be. The old Bell Atlantic telephone in your grandmother’s home could be used as a hammer, paperweight or doorstop. That’s how tough they were.
Now that technology is improving so rapidly, equipment has to be constructed so that it’s not as expensive – which is great because it means phones are cheaper and can do more! Don’t be fooled, because now they also have a shortened life expectancy.
