Not only that, but a good mic can make you sound more authoritative. I won't go as far as to say it is a make/break type of deal, but when you have external customers on the line it really helps them take what you say at face value. Personally I also run EasyEffects with a noise reduction plugin that takes out the A/C noise from the utility room across from my home office. Other plugins can help too, such as the deesser and equalizer. Best way to dial in your settings is to start up a Teams or Zoom meeting with just yourself, join from the computer and your phone, put good headphones on connected to the phone and hear yourself through the computer mic (there will be a slight delay which helps with "test... test..."). If you don't like the sound quality of your voice, play with the equalizer, and also the pitch adjustment plugin to make your voice a few cents higher or lower. Just subtle adjustments that is still "you" but better.
