Connecting Point Communications Connects Genesys with The Apprentice

November 5, 2004 – San Francisco, CA When Donald Trump stood in his boardroom during the last episode of the first season of “The Apprentice” TV series, pointed his finger at Bill Rancic and said, “You’re hired,” Rancic knew that the successful end of one tough journey was merely the beginning of an even tougher one.

Thanks to Connecting Point Communications, the beginning of a tough journey was made easier with the introduction of Genesys Conferencing to the new President of the Trump International Tower project, Bill Rancic. Rancic, who has been juggling his previous job as founder and CEO of his Chicago based cigarsaroundtheworld.com with his newly awarded Trump position in New York, has found Genesys to be his web communicator of choice.

“I’m not particularly tech savvy,” Rancic said, “but with Genesys Meeting Center I don’t have to be. It only takes a few clicks of my mouse to be online, sharing building plans over the web while I chat by phone.”

Connecting Point Communications already has gained interest for Rancic on behalf of Genesys among a wide variety of national print and broadcast media. Rancic also will conduct a special Desktop web seminar and be featured on the Genesys website.
