Recommendations

  • Affiliate Sales Customer Service Representative/Editor for Newsletter, Dial Global -Digital 24/7 Formats, When I first met Christine Beligan she was in the Dial-Global Traffic department. After getting to know her I offered her a job at the Dial-Global 24/7 formats. Christine is truly a Superstar in the Customer Service area. She is very detail oriented and all the Affiliate Sales Reps count on her when they need to get things done. She is the "go-to" person for everything in regards to servicing our 24/7 format clients. Christine is intelligent, hard-working, creative and has great people skills. Christine would be a great asset to any company.
  • EVP Affiliate Sales, Dial-Global, I have known Christine to be consistently pleasant, tackling all assignments with dedication and a smile. It has been an absolute pleasure working with her. Besides being a joy to work with, Christine is an extremely motivated take-charge person who is able to present creative and successful ideas and communicate the benefits. She is able to successfully complete multiple tasks with favorable results despite deadline pressure. I have seen the many examples of her talent and have long been impressed by her diligence and work ethic. She is always quick on her feet, with sensible reactions in all the circumstances I've seen her in. I feel confident in saying that she is capable of handling any situation with thoughtfulness and maturity.
  • Programming Assistant, Dial Global, Words I'd use to describe Christine...CREATIVE, passionate, structured, ambitious, energetic, considerate, inspired. I very highly recommend her.
  • Managing Director of Programming, Dial Global, Christine is like a bright light on a dark day. Cheerful, thorough, creative, intelligent, smart and always willing to learn and take on new responsibilities - I would highly recommend her.
  • Senior Affiliate Sales Manager, Dial Global, Christine has boundless enthusiasm for whatever task is handed to her. She excels the expectations, completes assignments prior to their due date and then asks how else she can assist. Did I mention that she does all of this with a smile? She is punctual and takes it upon herself to create organization tools as we discover they are needed. Christine doesn't wait for someone to hand her a job - if she sees a database or spreadsheet that would be helpful, she creates one. She created our first Newsletter and now it's the monthly representation that is sent to all of our affiliates. I would highly recommend Christine for any challenging position with your Company.
  • Senior Affiliate Sales Manager, Dial Global, Christine worked for me in the Billing Department at Premiere Radio Networks. She was a very hard worker and did her work with a smile on her face. It's a great comfort to a manager having an employee she can depend on to get the job done and to do it with a good attitude.
