Headsets.com, an Internet and catalog specialist retailer of telephone headsets, has been led by Mike Faith since he founded the company in 1997. With more and more call centers moving offshore, companies like Headsets.com have risen to dominate distribution of telephone headsets to small and midsize offices.

The culture of Headsets.com can be summed up as 50 people working towards a common goal – delivering world-class customer service. Faith's philosophy for ensuring camaraderie is to constantly show his employees how crucial their role is within the organization.
