The Telephone-Display Terminal Marriage: A Bond in Productivity
Article Abstract:
Other than the telephone, the display terminal is the most important piece of office equipment for a telemarketing professional. All basic customer information is usually contained on the display. Complete integration of the phone and computer is a must; the first generation of such equipment was only superficially integrated. Terminals must be easy to use and have access to mainframe data for the system to be effective. Terminal display features that are important to the user are: Swivel and tilt, anti- glare, screen size, character quality and screen color. Keyboard features are important; among the desired features are: Feel, sculptured keyboards, audible feedback, detached and automatic repeat, among others listed. User-friendliness is an important feature of the entire system. A photograph of a system is shown.
