I thought this WalletWatcher was cool! It is a free service and resource that perhaps could help some of you manage their finances and track monthly budget and spending online. Once it’s properly set-up one would be able to find out where the money goes, identify the areas where it was overspend, set monthly budgets for different things ( car, groceries, bills etc.), They can get detailed spending reports ect
The above is from Make use of.com
I hope this helps,

At Prosper, we know that the first contact with our students or customers is the most important things in customer service. We want that contact to be successful having our Representative being prepared and knowing the programs and helping the students feel the value of their education
“…Customer service statisticians have found that solving an issue during the first contact (as opposed to over the course of two, three, or more contacts) saves time, money, and increases customer satisfaction in the long run…”(First Contact Resolution--Service Untitled )
I love working for a company that uses systems that make it easier for our frontline to resolve issues.
