These companies use virtual agents or home based reps to serve customers in the “homeshoring” trend…
LiveOps:With LiveOps you can earn up to $15/hour just for talking on the phone. And having a home based business saves big on commute time and dry-cleaning costs. Who can beat that?
West Corp: West is the nation’s premier provider of outsourced communication solutions, specializing in customer acquisition, customer care, and interactive voice response services, as well as conferencing and collection services. We help our clients communicate more effectively, maximize the value of their customer relationships
and drive greater revenue from each transaction. West provides a large number of potential agent benefits as well including insurance and paid time off.
AlpineAccess:At Alpine Access, we start by accommodating the lifestyles and schedules of people like you, who may not otherwise be willing or able to work as an agent. We make it easy for the best to say “yes”, then we work hard to keep it easy and fun for you to stay with us as long as you like.
WillowCSN:CyberCorps accept and service inbound customer service / sales calls from Willow Clients, from home, using a computer, a telephone line and a broadband access connection. CyberCorps have the opportunity to service as little as one client or as many as the CyberCorp is able to reasonably service without sacrificing quality.
For each client a CyberCorp wishes to service, they must be trained. Training usually takes between one and four weeks, three and five hours a day, depending upon the application selected. After you begin servicing a Willow client, you have the potential to earn an average of $10 to $14 per hour from home.

I currently work at home as a West teleservice contractor. It is very convenient for me. I do not work alot of hours though. I work a couple of hours a night when my kids are sleep and a coupld of hours in the after noon while they are taking their naps. I make a about 100.00 every two weeks. Im sure I could make more if I worked more. It’s still a little something coming in to have a little fun with.

Id like to add that this is a legitimate company. You don’t have to pay them anything to get started. However you of course need a phone headset, a computer, and a broadband internet connection. I love how I can select the best time for me to work. There are times that the call volume is low and you will not have much work for a period of time, but I guess that is how it is in this business. You are not paid per hour, but per minute that you are actually online with the customer. That kinda sucks when the call volume is low.

I am currently employed by West. It is great for the mom that needs the extra income. I am amazed at how much I enjoy working from home. This is a great company to work for.

I currently work at West. They have revamped everything so now even when call volume is low you’re guaranteed to get paid for that time w/ no calls. It’s awesome, I love working from my home office.

Are there any home data entry jobs out there? A job that I can do from home in the evening that doesn’t require me to get on the phone.
