Earn From Home by Using Your Phone
By Dustin Heath
Your phone may be your pathway to earn money from home. Many companies need customer
service representatives and will hire people who want to earn from home. Most are
part-time but many are full-time positions. In some cases, you simply answer your phone
and help a customer, in others you must do initiate the calling.
Many companies out there pay people to use their phones and sell the company's products
or services. This may require cold calling or inquiry follow-ups. Cold calling consists of
first contacting a person from a list or simply from a phone book. Then you must explain
the company's product or service, and ask if the person they are interested.
The next step could consist of then having to schedule an at home demonstration,
sending an information packet to their home, or receiving credit card information on a
sale. An inquiry follow up means that the potential customer already has an interest in
that company's product or service. The purpose of the follow-up to either schedule a
service time, collect credit card information, or answer any questions the customer may have.
There are different ways that you can get paid when you earn from home using your
phone. Some companies pay per hour. This can be very beneficial when you are doing cold
calls because it means no matter how many, or how few, people are interested in what the
company is selling, you will still get paid a predictable amount. If you work six hours at
eight dollars an hour, you know that you've made 48 dollars. However, some companies pay
you per appointment or sale. This means that your hourly wage will vary from day to day
depending on your success or failure.
Payment per appointment or sale is not necessarily a bad thing. It is possible to earn
more this way than being paid an hourly wage. If you are paid three dollars per
appointment set and schedule 20 appointments in six hours, you have just earned 10 dollars
an hour. A lot of companies also pay commission if your appointment results in a sale of
their product.
There are drawbacks. Being paid per appointment, especially with a sales commission,
will bring you more money, but you will have to make more phone calls. If you only call 10
people per hour, you cannot count on a one-hundred percent success rate. Not everyone may
be interested in your company's product or service, so the more people you call, the
higher the odds are that you will find people willing to schedule appointments.
However, being paid per appointment adds stress to your phone job. You will have no way
of knowing what you will make from week to week. If you prefer a steadier, more
predictable income, then being paid an hourly wage would be the best decision. This
lessens the stress of being compelled to set a certain amount of appointments that are
dependent on a sale for the company.
You can earn from home by using your phone, but it is important to look into how you
will be paid. Knowing this information will help you decide which way is best for what you
wish to accomplish.
