However, most centers don't employ a structured approach to originating, processing and acting on feedback.  In this session, guest Pam Wilson explains the 4 stages required for a feedback loop to have full efficacy. We will discuss the four stages and Pam will share how she has seen them best implemented in call center settings.  ![calltalk-show-header](https://resources.benchmarkportal.com/hs-fs/hubfs/CallTalk/Headers/calltalk-show-header.png?width=600&name=calltalk-show-header.png)  **Air Date:** Wednesday, August 8, 2018 - 10:00AM PT / 1:00PM ET **Host:** Bruce Belfiore, CEO & Senior Research Analyst, BenchmarkPortal **Guest Speaker: **Dan Handy, President of Visual Cue **Season:** 9, **Episode Number:** 8 --- **Dan Handy** has spent his career merging the technology and business worlds together.  He has a passion for growth and efficiencies.  In the mid 90's Dan was a co-founder of FreeServers, a free web hosting site that was sold to About.com in 1999.  He led the division through a turn around after the economic downturn in 2001.  He joined Bluehost as the COO in 2005 and helped grow the company to 225 employees before selling the company to Endurance International Group.  Post acquisition, from 2010 to 2014 Dan took over as General Manager and CEO of the Bluehost brands growing the division to 700 employees while operating at a 48% profit margin.  Dan is a partner in Peak Capital, which is a real estate investment company.  He is also an investor in Peak Ventures, which is an Angel Fund investing in local startups and entrepreneurs.  Dan has the most recent years helping smaller companies grow and scale up. --- ![faculty-bruce-belfiore-3.jpg](https://ci5.googleusercontent.com/proxy/JedweAp-fH5FhbhO0e-TYoaaAV5sRUa2khziUXLnDggXI4ftxCD0KBeZW7zM95Bau34SgvdACxj6-OiJkYAtAiD-35n7p_5AZUFeKXizKs6WTIpN0LD0IVuFMQiXFzozCUBf4c6HPIm6phHbpz2EN3MDopiGH4Vkp-pcvm31_h2OlsXc6BX7XaM1Wo5hrvh2vU_2aGcVxigRMqVr7nt7mM5YoVa2_Nd63qsQTghXRQbGerY_cg=s0-d-e1-ft#http://resources.benchmarkportal.com/hs-fs/hubfs/BMP%20IMAGES/Faculty/faculty-bruce-belfiore-3.jpg?t=1516063325739&width=150&name=faculty-bruce-belfiore-3.jpg "faculty-bruce-belfiore-3.jpg") **CallTalk Host** Bruce Belfiore is a frequent speaker at industry events in the United States and abroad.
