Plantronics Headsets Are An Essential Tool At Top Service Companies

Ninety-Six Percent of BusinessWeek's "Customer Service Champs" Use Plantronics Headsets

SINGAPORE, March 13, 2009 - Plantronics, Inc. (NYSE: PLT) announced that 24 of the 25 companies named in BusinessWeek's third-annual customer service report use Plantronics headsets in their customer service centers.

BusinessWeek's special report on customer service makes it clear that companies focused on protecting the customer experience, and not short-term cost gains, in today's difficult economy are rewarded with long-term brand loyalty. In fact, the best performers are investing in, not cutting, customer service programs to enhance satisfaction and differentiate from the competition. BusinessWeek identified the 25 "Customer Service Champs" by combining data from market research firm J.D. Power & Associates and supplemental surveys using the BusinessWeek Market Advisory Board.

"Now, more than ever, it is critical for businesses to deliver top-quality customer service because customers reward it," said Nick Eisner, director of Global Contact Center Marketing at Plantronics. "For more than 40 years, Plantronics has helped companies around the world improve customer service through products that improve audio intelligibility and reduce call times and data entry errors. Seeing our customers on the BusinessWeek list reinforces the importance of making conversations valuable to the customer."
