<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt .75in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">On December&nbsp;22, 2008, Newgen filed a voluntary petition for liquidation in the United States Bankruptcy Court. At that time, Newgen had recorded rent liabilities for their leased office space and an associated asset retirement obligation aggregating to $9.5 million. On September&nbsp;9, 2010, a settlement with the landlord was reached, in which Newgen agreed to pay the landlord $3.6 million, and the landlord agreed to release the Company from all future claims. Thus, a gain was recognized for the difference of $5.9 million ($9.5 million less the settlement amount of $3.6 million).&#160; In addition, as this was a taxable transaction, the Company also recorded a related tax expense of $2.3 million (federal and state).</font></p>

For instance, we note MIP bonus awards of $150,000 and $195,000 to Mr.&nbsp;Troka and Ms.&nbsp;Kline, respectively, for meeting certain 2009 performance objectives. In addition, we note you disclose these awards for Mr.&nbsp;Troka and Ms.&nbsp;Kline&#146;s fiscal year 2010 compensation figures under the column &#147;Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation&#148; in the Summary Compensation Table. However, if the relevant performance measure is satisfied during the fiscal year, the earnings or awards are reportable for that fiscal year, even if not payable until a later date. Refer to Instruction 1 to Item 402(c)(2)(vii)&nbsp;of Regulation S-K.

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt .75in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">As discussed with the Staff, although the funding of the MIP is based upon satisfaction of performance objectives, such funding is distinguished under the MIP from the discretionary determination of awards to named executive officers.&nbsp; As disclosed on page&nbsp;23 of the TeleTech&#146;s Definitive Proxy Statement dated April&nbsp;12, 2011 (&#147;2011 Proxy Statement&#148;), the determination of awards to named executive officers is determined by the &#147;subjective judgment&#148; of the Compensation Committee &#147;in its discretion, rather than relying on a formulaic approach.&#148;&nbsp; Accordingly, TeleTech respectfully submits that the MIP awards to named executive officers are disclosed in the proper year.&nbsp; Further, adopting a different reporting practice for such awards would make comparison of year-to-year awards and performance significantly more difficult and confusing for stockholders.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt .75in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt .75in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">In order to address any possible confusion, however, in future filings TeleTech proposes adding a disclosure to its discussion of any MIP Payouts (<i>i.e.</i>, page&nbsp;29 of the 2011 Proxy Statement) clarifying the discretionary and subjective nature and the timing and payment of any such awards.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt .75in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt .75in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">For example, to clarify the award of MIP Payouts in 2010, the TeleTech revised and expanded disclosure would include a supplemental disclosure (underlined below) to its discussion of MIP Payouts on page&nbsp;29 of the 2011 Proxy Statement along the following lines:</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt .75in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt 1.0in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Compensation Committee bases its decision to award cash incentives under the MIP and discretionary cash bonuses to individual named executive officers, if any, primarily on subjective criteria. Specifically, the Compensation Committee subjectively bases its decision to award cash incentives on the eight success factors. While the Compensation Committee can and does consider objective financial results in its subjective evaluation of an executive officer&#146;s performance, there is no formulaic tie between the financial results and the amount of the cash incentives under the MIP or discretionary cash bonuses.&nbsp; <u>Further, the Compensation Committee exercises discretion in determining to award MIP bonuses rather than relying on a formulaic approach.&nbsp; The Compensation Committee generally determines whether to grant an award, and the amount of any award, of a MIP bonus to named executive officers in February&nbsp;of the year following the year in which the incentive benefit pool was funded.&nbsp; After the Compensation Committee determines whether to award MIP bonuses and the amount of the awards of MIP bonuses, if any, to named executive officers, the Company generally pays those bonuses within 30 days following the determination of any such award.&nbsp; In 2010, the Compensation Committee, noting that the MIP bonus pool had been funded, exercised its discretion and made its determinations of MIP bonus awards for named executive officers on February&nbsp;17, 2010 and the MIP bonuses awarded were paid on February&nbsp;19, 2010.</u></font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt .75in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt .75in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">As a further example, the TeleTech revised and expanded disclosure would also include a modification to footnote 3 of the Summary Compensation Table in the 2011 Proxy Statement to read as follows:</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
