What is RepsForRent?

RepsForRent is a call center that provides mostly virtual telemarketing services to companies across the country. The company has more than 16 years of experience in the field of providing telemarketing services to large and small companies. They offer a number of telemarketing services including: appointment setting, lead generation, seminars, market research, fundraising, inbound telemarketing, and B2B calls, just to name a few.

Like a growing number of companies, RepsForRent understands the cost savings aspect of hiring virtual or at-home workers. RepsForRent hires at-home or virtual telemarketers on a part and full-time basis and advancement opportunities are available as well as. The company provides training and ongoing support for their virtual telemarketers. You will need to have at least two years of previous telemarketing, in particular, business-to-business telemarketing experience. Business-to-Business telemarketing involves contacting businesses, not customers, and offering services or products.

Pay is hourly, but it is determined by the type of project you are assigned. The hourly range is between $8-$15 an hour and there are some programs that include bonuses or commissions. There are also some commission only campaigns available. The company is looking for virtual telemarketing reps to work at least 30 hours a week, but will hire those who are able to work less than that.

As usual, with most telecommuting jobs there are equipment requirements. You will need a reliable computer, high-speed Internet (not sure if satellite will work), unlimited long distance, Windows XP or 2000, at least 1 Ghz processing speed, MS Word and Excel. Experience with ACT and WinFax are preferred, ACT is a contact management software, and WinFax, is a fax software program. At this moment, you will not need to purchase either of these software programs.

Since the calls will be routed to your phone through a dialer system, it will probably be a good idea to have a second basic phone line with no call waiting. Cell phones won't work. Remember, it is not professional to talk on the phone with a customer and your call waiting beeps in. Many of these companies that have dialer systems where calls ring into your phone also have call monitoring systems and can monitor your calls. You will also always need a quiet working environment while working on the phone. If you have children or a dog in the house that may bark, you need a separate room that can be closed off from noise.

Unlike some virtual companies that only do business via email, RepsForRent does have contact phone numbers that you can call to find out more information about their jobs, company, and any other questions. This company seems to be steady, the work seems to be consistent, and they are very helpful. In the past, you had to pay for the background check for this company, but like I have said before, that is legitimate. You are an independent contractor and sometimes companies will expect you to pay for certain fees. You are not paying for a job, because you won't get the job if you don't pass a background check. If you do pass the background check, more than likely RepsForRent will hire you as long as you have the necessary work experience.
