What does the work involve?

First and foremost, there is NO cold calling involved. You would handle inbound calls that have been routed from the clients' phone system to your phone at your house. You have the choice to pick the clients you would like to service. You will answer the call and service the customer while you are logged into the clients' proprietary software on your computer. You will need a plain old telephone line (no voicemail or call waiting) and high speed internet. You do not need the phone line right now as long as you have the capability to get one. You will work with the customer to resolve any concerns and provide them the information they need, then move on to the next call. Simple right?

An example would be if you got a job at ABC company. You would go to work and sit in a cubicle. You would have a computer in front of you that would be logged into your client systems. Next to the computer would be a phone. If a customer called in, you would answer it and help them with whatever they needed. Whether it was taking an order for something or processing a service related call, you would help them. Depending on what client you are servicing, you may need to verify the account, take credit card information, or other call related information. Once you complete the reason for the customer calling, you wait for the next call. These are all Fortune 500 companies so the calls are continuous. The difference is we do the same thing but we do it from our own house and we make our own hours. That is a beautiful thing!

How many hours can I work and how much money can I make?
