[comp.dcom.telecom] ACD Headset Vendors Needed

bill@gatech.edu (Bill Crane) (11/29/90)

We are looking for another supplier of Headsets for our sales agents.
There is not really a problem with our current supplier, only that
management wants to explore the current market.  Can any readers
provide me with contacts for any Headset suppliers?

Incidently, we only process incoming calls, so don't blame me
for annoying telemarketers. :-)

You didn't say who your current supplier is.  I just grabbed an Alltel
Supply catalog off the shelf, but North, Anixter, Graybar, etc would
have been just as good.

They show units by ACS,Audiosears, Automation Electronics,
Plantronics, Unex, etc. They don't show Roanwell, but they do carry
their Confidencers(tm).

I would assume Days Inns must have a supply division that gets good
discounts for your hotels. I certainly now other chains that do, and
generally they have deals with SEVERAL large scale communication
suppliers. Check your own internal channels.

There are plenty of options to look at, and you may find it quite wise
to not impose one model on everyone. Some may LIKE a custom moulded
ear insert type, and others may prefer a big binaural earmuff style.
In general, you want to get mike booms that cancel as much of the
background noise as possible so the caller doesn't think he has called
a sweat-shop. One lost reservation would often pay for that special
custom headset that kept an agent just a tad more
efficient/friendlier.
