How Do I... National Hockey League Hall-of-Famer Phil Esposito Signs to Represent Internet Music Retailer TeleServices International Group December 3, 1998 10:49 AM ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., Dec. 3 /PRNewswire/ -- TeleServices International Group Inc. TSIG , a fully integrated provider of outsourced teleservices and retail music CDs through the Internet, announced today that it has retained former Boston Bruin and New York Ranger hockey great Phil Esposito as a company spokesman and consultant. Mr. Esposito will act as the Company's liaison to the NHL, its franchises and other sports organizations, especially in connection with the promotion of the Compact Connection (CCI) Music Card. As for why he joined TSIG, Mr. Esposito commented, "I think the MusicCard is going to revolutionize sports promotion. After they see us do it in the NHL, it will lead on to football, baseball and basketball, and that's just fine with us. We are very excited about our relationship with CCI--we think it's going to be terrific!" Added TSIG President James Guild, "CCI is uniquely positioned in the $35 billion global music market and $71 million online music market -- we have linked our Compact Connection website to our state-of-the-art call center. Our competitors -- CDNow, K-Tel, and Amazon.com -- have gone over entirely to the Internet and have neglected the personal contact that many customers desire. Compact Connection also offers the best prices available, especially for new releases." TSIG recently completed a $2 million technology upgrade at its call center operation, and has fully integrated its call center operation with the Internet retail music website of Compact Connection. CCI links business on its discount music website, compactconnection.com, with personalized one-on-one service through TSIG's state-of-the-art call center. Also, CCI's private label MusicCards provide its strategic partners a promotional vehicle they can use to derive direct financial benefit from the sale of each discount MusicCard. Card holders are able to buy virtually any CD or cassette, including new releases, at "rock bottom" prices. Robert P. Gordon, Chairman and CEO of TeleServices International remarked, "We are delighted to have Mr. Esposito on our team. His contacts in the NHL and other professional sports are an important part of our aggressive new marketing and advertising strategy for both TSIG and Compact Connection." Compact Connection promotes the MusicCard, using a combination of consumer and trade media, banner advertising on the Internet, television, and innovative promotions implemented through its strategic MusicCard partners. CCI's print campaign includes ads in Rolling Stone and Stereo Review magazines. CCI has entered into a strategic partnership with the National Music Foundation, a leading charitable organization in the music industry dedicated to preserving American Music and the people who bring it to us. TeleServices International Group Inc., is a provider of fully integrated global teleservices to companies that are in the business of selling products and services through toll-free numbers and the Internet.
