Employee Spotlight
In July 2007, HOLDCOM received an invaluable addition to our Production Team…Ralph. He is responsible for recording, editing, and mixing our client’s Audio Marketing productions. In addition, he gets to work with our Voice Over Talents. When he’s not mastering the audio board, Ralph makes his own music on the piano, guitar, drum machine, toothpicks (yes, toothpicks) or whatever else makes noise. He also can be found skateboarding and mountain biking. When asked what is the most favorite part of his job, Ralph quipped, “I work with super cool and talented people”. He attributes HOLDCOM’s success to the positive attitude of its employees. Welcome Ralph, the man behind your Message-On-Hold.

“Sound” Resolutions
Did you know that the early Babylonians were the first to celebrate New Year’s? Neither did we. They even made New Year’s Resolutions to become better Babylonians and return borrowed farm equipment. Unfortunately, history doesn’t tell us if they stuck to their resolutions.
Have you made any resolutions for the New Year? The most popular are to lose weight, stop smoking, or get organized. Here at HOLDCOM, we’ve made some “sound” resolutions of our own.
Rob Lefever, a member of our Script Team, set a goal to revamp his workspace and make it more efficient.
Production whiz, kid Juan Sanchez, made the resolution to get into shape with a new exercise regimen.
Pam Litke in Client Relations resolves not to make resolutions. She faces each day as a fresh challenge and an opportunity to learn something new. Whatever your resolution is in 2008, HOLDCOM wishes you all the best for the New Year!

Do I Look Fat In This Dress?
While working on a household project with my wife the other night, the conversation jumping around from kids schedules to what to eat for dinner tomorrow to this weekend's hectic agenda, we somehow got on the topic of actresses. I can’t even remember which one, but my wife said she thought a particular actress was pretty and my comment was “oh yeah, she’s cute.” Then my wife said you know so and so from that show, she’s really beautiful and my comment was “yeah she’s very striking.”
Suddenly I am plunged, rather dragged, deep into a debate about labels and attributes, cute versus pretty, beautiful and striking, and suddenly, like an anvil dropped on my foot, the question: “Well how would you describe me?” “Well," I said, "of course honey, you’re all those things!” No sale. She pressed on, “Okay if you weren’t married to me how would you describe me?” Read more.
Thank You
HOLDCOM extends sincere thanks to all those who supported our 2007 Food Drive. All proceeds will go to the Kitchens at Eva’s Village in Paterson, New Jersey.
Special thanks go out to Entel Systems, Belmar Spring Water, and Iron Mountain Development for their generous donations.
Change Your Holiday MOH

Contact the Client Relations team to discuss updating or adding information to your program.
