Liveops Call Centers
Liveops is one of the original work from home companies. They pioneered the concept of a call center that is staffed entirely by people working remotely. The company was founded in 2000 and had two main divisions – the remote agent division (which hired the work from home call center agents) and a technology division that created the software that allowed thousands of agents to work from home. The concept was revolutionary and allowed Liveops to quickly become one of the largest call centers in the world. Most of the large marketing companies that advertised products on television and radio relied on Liveops to quickly staff up thousands of remote agents to handle the large volumes of sales calls that were triggered by TV or radio ads. If you ever ordered a product from a television infomercial, you most likely spoke with a Liveops call center agent working from their home.
Liveops has gone through some ups and downs since it was founded, and they no longer have the technology division. They still have the remote agent division. Liveop’s tag line is “The modern call center. Virtual. Flexible. Efficient.” This is an excellent tagline for a business that is entirely made up of work from home employees. Liveops has based their entire operation on supporting work from home agents and making them as efficient as possible.
Liveops claims that it’s unique style of remote work is “simply better”. An average Liveops agent is 38 years old (vs 23 years old for a typical call center agent). Most Liveops agents attended college and have almost 15 years experience.
Liveops charges clients by the minute, and agents are also compensated and tracked by the minute.
Liveops Work from Home Jobs
Liveops has a never ending need for work from home agents. If you have good customer service or sales skills, you can likely work with Liveops. However, you need to understand something about working at Liveops — you will *not* be an employee. Instead, you will be an independent contractor. You will still be paid by Liveops (and you’ll possibly make more than if you were an employee at many other call centers), but you will be responsible for paying your own taxes and arranging for your own benefits.
If you are looking for a way to work flexibly on a limited schedule, Liveops may be a perfect work from home opportunity for you.
Liveops provides excellent resources and training materials to help you learn how to become an independent contractor. You will also be provided with scheduling tools to help you schedule your own hours. Think of working with Liveops as a perfect entrance to the gig economy — you will be your own boss, set your own hours and arrange for your own training (provided by Liveops) to help you excel.
