It is estimated that in North America there are over 30 million “knowledge workers” who use the telephone in excess of 2 hours per day. Yet, according to the Gartner Group, the telephone headset penetration rate is less than 10 percent of those workers outside the Call and Contact Center market. These users represent a tremendous untapped market for the headset industry. Plantronics estimates that workers aged 18-24 are 58 percent more likely to use a headset in the workplace than a worker over the age of 45. More of these potential customers are more comfortable with the wearing of headsets due to their experiences using headsets in conjunction with cellular phones, computer gaming, and listening to music on mp3 players – all heavily integrated with headphone, earphone or headset usage.

The Call and Contact Center market while mature is experiencing rebirth in North America, as well as continued growth overseas. According to a recent study by the Incoming Calls Management Institute, Inc. (ICMI), there are currently 50,600 Call Centers in the United States containing 2.86 million agent positions. Additionally in Canada there are approximately 4,500 Call Centers with 212,000 agent positions. In North America alone, this is in excess of 3 million agent positions with an estimated 2.4 employee shifts of operation in these centers – which is approximately 7.4 million Call and Contact Center Agents – with over 97 percent of these agents currently identified as headset users in North America. Additionally there are over 1 million agent positions overseas devoted exclusively to servicing the U.S. market. That market is expected to continue to grow over the next several years.

It happens all the time. An aspiring author will send me an email asking “What do you think of this self-publishing company?” or “What have you heard about that one?” I will respond if I do know the company in question, but there’s no way I can have had experience with all self-publishing companies. Of course there’s no replacing you doing your own research on the company, but what questions should you ask?

Fortunately, Mark Levine did all the research for us. He’s the author of The Fine Print of Self-Publishing in which he presents the results of his research on the top 39 self-publishing companies.
