Hi, my name is Ted Trenholme. My company is Speakify Team and we’re located in Cagayan de Oro City, Philippines.
In 2018, my wife and I began looking for locations to relocate in the Philippines. We looked at two areas specifically, Cebu City and Cagayan de Oro City, Philippines.
What we found was Cagayan de Oro City offers a number of advantages over Cebu City. The cost of living was lower here. And for me, as a businessman, an important aspect was a location to rent for me to run my business. And what I found in Cagayan de Oro city was a much lower cost of renting a location. And what that meant for me is it translated to a lower cost of doing business, which meant a lower cost for my clients to use Speakify Team versus a similar business in Cebu City.
Also here, I found a number of other advantages. There are a number of large universities here and they offered a talent pool for me to bring into my business to help me run it efficiently and effectively.
Also, there’s a highly urbanized area here and it provided a higher and a better quality of life for my family and myself.
All those things added up with the advantages that Cagayan de Oro city offers for someone like Speakify Team running a business like a BPO. In fact, I highly recommend clients take a look at coming in and using the facilities here like my BPO in Cagayan de Oro City because I think we offer you the same level of services at a lower cost and you’re going to find in Cebu City or Manila.
In 2018, we began our business with over 300 agents performing data analysis and we continued along that line for a couple of years. We’re able to expand our offerings to include voice and other accounts. These accounts that we’re looking forward to expanding in the future.
We believe we are a strong company, that has the skills and the knowledge to help us grow, so we expect to grow into the future.
We’re looking forward to expanding our business offerings here in Cagayan de Oro City, Philippines. We have everything we have room to expand in our building. We have a talent pool that’s very deep in the community. We have management skills, we have everything. All we need is a client to come in and let us help them be successful.
Cheers!
Ted
