Steve Forbes once wrote that trust is the bedrock of democratic capitalism and, like the air we breathe, often taken for granted. How very true.

They dial the company's phone number expecting that someone from the company will respond to their needs. Indeed, someone would take the call.

More than 90% of callers directed to overseas call centres have reported real difficulties in understanding the person at the other end of the phone according to figures released this month.
