A salespersonโs right arm? It might be their Bluetooth headset, especially when more reps are working from home or sharing home offices. Get the wrong one and you could be looking at headaches and dropped calls. But get the right one and it will have just the right wireless range, the perfect amount of padding, and crystal-clear audio quality for successful calls every time — in the audio department, anyway.
