In the June 2009 AUCTIONEER magazine published by the National Auctioneers Association (NAA), I read an article entitled, "A Rare Occupation." It talks about how auctioneers are few and far between.Author and fellow auctioneer Robert Doyle conducted some research on the InfoUSA Website to compare the numbers of full-time auctioneers in the United States to other professions. The statistics mentioned are interesting:Auctioneers: 10,034 (Incidentally, the NAA estimates that 7% of all auctioneers are female.) Funeral Directors: 23,648 Painters: 43,178 Plumbers: 60,767 Real Estate Agents: 212,110 Attorneys: 302,603 Why so few auctioneers? Rob had his thoughts as to why auctioneers are few and far between, but I have a few of my own ideas.1. Some people decide not to become an auctioneer, because of how expensive it is to get started.Often people don't realize the expense of launching the business until they speak with an auctioneer. Only then do they learn that the auctioneer attended auction school (usually out-of-state), passed state exams, and secured bonds before securing an auction license. Some feel the total cost and time away from work and home is prohibitive.2. There is a high...more

When I was new to the retail end of the telecommunications business, most of my customers expressed the same opinion when it came to programming their phone system. Back then, programming a business phone system was a lot like trash collection...administrators just wanted you to deal with it and involve them as little as possible. My, how the times have changed, and for the better, I'd say. Today, most of my customers are already aware of the features of their new phone system before it is even installed. With technology reaching into every part of our everyday lives, it's no wonder our culture is becoming more technologically savvy. For me, letting the customer be in charge of feature programming is a nice change of pace. System changes, such as adding a new employee, changing call routing or in-house personnel can perform modifying an auto attendant. Even advanced implementations such as call centers can be commandeered by supervisors or managers. Aside from empowering the customer to be in control of the phone system, this new shift toward consumer independence has helped systems managers to be more aware of all levels of functionality within their business phone systems. In my...more
