I finally got to visit one of our call centers, this on in Boise, Idaho.<\/p>\n

The scenery right around Boise wasn’t spectacular (although there was a wonderful sunset on evening, unfortunately we were in the car and couldn’t stop for a pic), and I suspect just a half hour north would be completely different. We had a nice Italian dinner at Bella Aquilla<\/a> across from the Hilton Garden Inn<\/a> where we were staying (I loved the hotel, not expensive but very clean and good service); we also had a mundane meal at TableRock Brewpub and Grill.<\/a> Perhaps the most notable non-business moment of our visit was our nightcap at Bardenay Restaurant and Distillery<\/a> – they make their own gin and it’s got a strong Juniper flavor which I loved!<\/p>\n

So while Boise itself wasn’t amazing, the call center is – well run, very dedicated leadership team and staff; our meetings were very productive and useful (and fun).<\/p>\n

I only took a couple pictures – here they are:<\/p>\n
