What does the work involve?

This is not telemarketing there is NO cold calling involved. You would handle INBOUND calls only that have been routed from the client's phone systems to your phone at your house. You will have the option to work in billing, sales, or the tech department. You have the choice and pick the clients you would like to service. You will answer the call and service the customer while you are logged into the client's proprietary software on your computer. You will need a plain old telephone line (no voicemail or call waiting) and high-speed internet. You will work with the customer to resolve any concerns and provide them with the necessary information, then move on to the next call. 

 

 

What industries and clients will I service?

 

Our contracted companies include e-Commerce, Technology, Retail, Telecommunications, Travel and Hospitality, Financial Services, Utilities, Healthcare, and Automotive. Also, there are many top brands that consumers interact with daily.

 

I want to do this full-time. Can this be competitive for a full-time job?

Why is a background check required, and what are the deciding factors for continuing the process?

 

Both Arise, and our clients have high standards. Client Support Professionals (CSPs) provide customer support services for each client and have access to confidential information; therefore, a background check is required to ensure that each potential CSP’s identity is confirmed and free from criminal history. Felonies and misdemeanors that include fraud are not permitted.

Will I be your employee?

Our team members, or CSPs, are independent contractors of M.J. Staffing Solutions, LLC.  You will receive a 1099 for your prior year's compensation. You must pay all of your own taxes. There are quite a few tax perks for being an independent contractor. Check with your local tax advisor for more information regarding tax perks.


How will I be paid?

Direct deposit will pay you on the 15th and last day of each month. 



How many hours can I work, and how much money can I make?

As much as you want. All clients have a minimum hour requirement, usually 15 or 20 hours weekly. Some clients have a weekly cap of 100 hours, so if you're making, on average, $15.00 an hour times 100 hours, you would earn $1,500 weekly. On the other hand, if you work 15 hours and make $15.00, you would earn $225 that week. It is totally up to you.


How long will it take before I can start earning money?

You will need to complete the admissions process, which can take as little as one day or as long as a week, depending on how quickly you move through the steps. Once you pick your client, all that is left is your training; then, you can start earning. The length of the training course varies with each client, so you will be able to find one to suit your needs.


Can I have another job while I provide services for Arise clients?

Of course, you can. You may wish to do this part-time or full-time. You are welcome to have another full-time job or a part-time job to supplement this.
