Question on Headsets

June 20th, 2008

I am hopeful that you will be able to help with this question I’ve posted to LinkedIN regarding headsets to use with Linksys/Cisco VOIP phones.

What is the best headset for use with a Linksys SPA942?

I’m looking to buy headsets for my department. We are on a VOIP platform and most of my sales people use Linksys SPA942s. I currently have people testing the Plantronic S12 and Dassan Free Mate DH-023T. The feedback on the S12 has been better but I’d like to know if there is a specific product that you’ve used that you find provides superior performance and also what the unit cost was.

Need a Marketing Agency

June 5th, 2008

I have a client in Las Vegas looking for a marketing agency to help them in strategic database marketing, with the possibility of front end advertising strategies.  The client is in the hospitality and timeshare industry (consumer level).  

 

We are looking to identify a couple of marketing agencies who are well experienced and/or targeted in the hospitality, gaming and/or timeshare industry.  Do you have any potential recommendations?

 

The opportunity is somewhat broad, however our client is trying to better understand who their real buyer/customer is (timeshare customer), what makes a good timeshare customer prospect, channels to reach them, proper incentives to bring them in, proper type of front end marketing strategies for this, etc… Identifying a potential prospect all the way through making them a timeshare customer.

 

Once I identify a couple of well suited agencies, I would like to make introductions to the CEO.   They prefer to identify a shortlist of potential agencies as soon as possible.

 

Your assistance is greatly appreciated.

Virtual Call Center Management Advice

June 3rd, 2008

I am the manager of a 6-seat call center that will be growing within the next few months.  We have access to all the hardware and software to allow our call center employees to work from home; however I do not have virtual call center management experience.  I would appreciate any helpful advice and insight as to how to implement and run a virtual center.  Any known websites, organizations and/or tips would be helpful!

Determining Number of Calls

June 3rd, 2008

I am trying to determine a ratio between the number of customer service inquiries to number of digital converter boxes sold.  The converters will be sold in retail outlets and the end user will be installing.  If 1,000,000 units are sold, how many customer service calls could be expected?
