Thanks to the advancement of the internet and technology, working from home is easier than ever.
Now that we have better developed call routing technology, you can work from home as a customer service agent.
Companies all over the country are outsourcing their customer service job opportunities, to individuals working from the comfort of their home office.
Companies are now hiring individuals to work from home as customer service agents.
Any customer service call that is placed to the company, such as placing orders, or troubleshooting calls are directed to individuals working from their own home.
In order to get started as a home based customer service agent, you will need to locate a company that out sources their calls.
After locating a company, all you need to start earning money is a dedicated phone line for customer service calls, a computer, and high speed internet.
Wages vary from company to company.
Some companies will pay hourly, whereas others may pay per minute spent on phone.
The jobs that pay the least are the ones that simply require you to just take orders.
Higher pay rates usually require you take orders, as well as make sales.
If at all necessary, having a home office to work out of would be ideal.
An area with a closing door to block out background noise and distractions will be helpful.
Since your job will require you to be on the telephone background noise will be disruptive.
Any disruptions during a call could result in termination.
