REAL work from home companies

[caribear]

I am trying to catch up on this thread, but I am so lost What do all of the abbreviations mean....like DR (is this like a direct line?) Also do you work for H*N directly through them or is this through W**T? Would someone be so kind as to send me a PM with the different addreses for the companies that offer these work-at-home csr positions? I would really appreciate it!!!

We are moving in a couple of months and I have already requested dual phone lines, but I would like to start the training now, so I am ready when we move (I do not have 2 phone lines in my house that I am in now).

Thank you!!

DR is D*r*ct R*s*rve--and serves a bunch of clients who are all answered by teh same agent. Some may have dedicated #'s--others may share a number.

H*N--Sh*p and all the others--contracted with W*st to handle their calls. We do not work directly for them---in a Post office analagoy---Sh*p has their buidling--but set up a separate number (like a PO Box) and anyone who wants to send mail--send it to the box instead of the building. In the analogy--W*st is the post office and the calls routed to our home represent the PO Boxes--where callers calling a number that is routed to us.

That analogy can basically apply to all lines. The clients basically outsourced their calls.

Hope that makes sense.

I got my logins for H$N. I am going to refresh everything real quick and maybe pick up a shift tonight or tomorrow (I have a bunch of hours scheduled for this weekend).

I will update after I do the first shift!

Still waiting on my H*N logins too The PAL said it would take anywhere from 7-10 biz days and sometimes longer, just depends on how fast H*N gets them back to W*ST. With all the people that I've heard training and passing on them lately, I hope by the time I get my logins it isn't another line that is going to have to be stalked to pick up any hours.

Just passed my 1on1 for PH.

Great job!!

How was it?? I am loving the training for them so far, it is very detailed and I really like that!!

Heres hoping I am next!

I did my first day for DR on Monday...it was a total failure...I was sooooo nervous, I said I was never going to do it again. I did not even stay logged on the number of hours I was supposed to work. I was shaking!!!
This morning, an hour was available, and I am not a quitter, so I figured I give it anther try, and the hour went by just fine. I handled every single call and had alot of TT.
I had a 1 on 1 for PH for today that I needed to cancel, and now I rescheduled it Wed. Mar 15. I think PH should be easier than DR, but now that I took a number of calls for DR, I think I can handle it.

Okay, I finally passed my H*N 1 on 1 and now I am waiting on my log ins. The p*l I had told me where to look and they maybe up in 3 days. I will wait until then, yesterday I work about 7 hrs on D* it was great cv the early afternoon but slowed a little in the late afternoon. By the end of the shift, I was very burned out and signed off about 1/2 hour early. I now can see the H*N hours but I learned yesterday to pace myself.

Congrats to all the others that have passed their 1 on 1.

sap1227 so sorry to hear about your phone line, I'm sure you will be up and running soon, I'm looking at those 8 pages of hours and I understand your fustration

Great Job!! At this rate, maybe we can do our first shift together

Those pages and pages of hours (all at .25 per minute) are breaking my heart!!!

Cool!! I finally got all my phone problems worked out today and I am signed up for 10am-11am (central time) tomorrow and then 8-9 tomorrow night. I am thinking of picking something up tonight once the kiddos go to sleep.

I am so scared all of the sudden--sending you a PM

Christy

UPDATE!!!!

Well, I did my first hour and it was TERRIBLE! I need to review everything before tomorrow's shift YIKES. I am shaking sooo bad right now, it felt like I did not know anything.

I had 4 calls (the first one was over 10 mins) and 1 order. I am hoping it gets better!
