Work At Home Outbound Calling and Paid Training

It is always refreshing to find a company where home workers are employees. It seems this concept is beginning to catch on, however slowly. It is a very welcome trend to see companies also employ applicants to work from home, that were not first their own in-house employees, instead of only as independent contractors.

If you think you will save “all kinds of cash” by working from home, the realization that there are still big tradeoffs hits home when adding up the employee’s list of responsibilities for at-home work versus outside employment, and whether or not there are real company paid benefits in addition to the pay structure.

Fortunately, many legitimate companies will give you some upfront information pertaining to the list of equipment and other requirements needed to provide work for them (whether as an employee or independent contractor). It is your job to do the financial costs and personal benefits calculations to measure the real value and make informed decisions. Never quit your regular job before you totally understand everything involved.

The ability to hire the most capable home workers from countrywide or multi-state pools of applicants provides companies many unique advantages. These advantages are not only very financially beneficial, but also gives them the ability to discern and choose only those workers who will reliably and competently perform assigned tasks according to high standards.

It is becoming standard procedure now for many companies to not only require various testing procedures, but also background and credit checks as part of the hiring process to determine suitability for the job. It does not matter whether the applicant is a potential hire for in-house, independent contractor status, or will be working at home. The need to sign a contract is also becoming a norm.

Companies that handle outbound calling work to their client’s customers will not be a perfect situation for everyone. Training programs help both the company and the prospective home worker make correct choices.

Customer Loyalty Concepts is one such company that claims it hires Caller Employees to perform outbound calling services for their clients (you work at home), and are currently hiring in 26 states. Training time will be paid (if you become one of their Caller Employees and work for them). According to information on their website, they are offering paid hourly rates starting at $8 and go to $10 and $12 per hour.

Information provided to prospective employees is under the Employment link on the top of the page. Another link there is about Training. Take time to read carefully these links and the rest of the information provided on the website to begin familiarizing yourself with this company. (Note: Appearing in the content of Frequently Asked Questions under the Training link, the word “bonus” appears with further information, so additional earnings look possible.)

If you have previous experience with call center work, perhaps some of the information on the training link will be familiar to you. If you find you have an interest, this company (based on their website) looks promising to the right candidates. Always search and obtain more information regarding this or any other company you find promising as standard procedure before application is made. Here is their website: Customer Loyalty Concepts
