I reall just want to have other people work for me as an over of a virtual,call center. Does anyone know how much I can make off of each independent contractor I get? Any I for,action on how to get started owning your own actual call center through them and the money I can expect to make would be great. I have worked for Arise for over a year. My recommendation is to not use this company as a primary income opportunity.
I am looking for other ways to make a decent income from home. Does anyone have any recommendations. Does anyone know why you cannot do this in New York state? I live in New York City and no article I have read says exactly why one cannot do it here. Thanks for your reply and help in advance! What is an IBO? Sorry to ask a stupid question but I am new to all of this and am really needing to get into working from home here real soon. They have two non phone clients which hardly come up. The first is live sales chat for ATT just like at talk2rep and the second is live chat for apple.
Does anyone know why that is? Jenn, I live in New York and have the same questions. I have done much research online and have been unable to find a reason for not allowing it in certain states.
If you do find out please let me know. I will also post here for you if I find out. Good luck. I now work for working solutions they paid for my training, background check, drug test etc and for ALL the work I do. But working solutions does not provide steady work, they even say on their website that they do not recommend using them as your primary source of income.
I have worked with an Arise client for four months now. I do not have anything bad to say about Arise, but the client that I am working with is definitely difficult to grasp because there is so much to learn in such a short amount of time and most of its customers are upset. It is difficult meeting the contract terms when dealing with irate customers.
I got background checks, training, a headset, etc. Because Arise constantly has specials going on, you just have to catch them at the right time.
Bubbie comment is right. Also if you are doing this for your main income, becareful. Their management doesnt care about the employee they can name it whatever they want and using loophole to avoid paying tax, benefit etc, we know all are employees.
Therefore it is part time to supplement income is alright if you can take all the heats from the job. Hours are limited all the time, unless it is holiday, but only one holiday per year, so you can go figure.
Both Bubbie and Marilyn are right. You see how all these Arise Independent Owners immediately come here and offer themselves up? I started under an IBO if I had any questions she was less them upfront about any of it. Arise keeps information close to the breast.
You as the Independent Contractor have to pay for everything. If you work under a IBO there is no one to complain to. The certification classes are only the beginning, the rest you learn as you go and service. I can tell you that if you tell a guest that you are unable to stay on the line because it is taking too long you will get a low evaluation so you opt to stay on to assist with on line check in , usually elderly people and there goes your matrix!
I finally became my own IBO because my lovely Ibo that i was working under decided that she just didnt want to do it anymore…so she pulled the plug and left me without a working contract, so for the entire month of dec i was without work on top of not having had much hours in nov…. I have been with Arise for a year now and with the same client.
I cannot say my experience has been bad but it has not been great either. In addition to the fees mentioned in this review, you will have to pay for the client training. At times vouchers are offered that may cover the entire training fee or only a portion. Also, you definitely have to do your research if you decide to work under an existing IBO. If you choose to go with Arise, be sure to have more than one client because if you do not meet your SOW metrics, Arise will either terminate your SOW without notice or if they decide not to renew your SOW you will only get approximately one week notice.
I agree with some of the other comments that depending on the client you work for if they are not in peak season there will be very few hours to pick from. The only way to get around that is to exceed your SOW metrics and you will be allowed to pre-select hours before regular posting hours date.
For example, if posting hours for the client is Thursday, pm and you earn pre-select you can post for hours as early as Tuesday morning. Also, for you guys looking to contract under a Super VSC, most take a cut of your pay before they issue you a check. Plus, your pay is delayed in most cases another few days after all the other IBOs get paid because the VSC has to funnel that money through their account then to yours.
Also, if you are under a VSC, you will not see the pay listed in the portal of opportunities. You have to wait for your VSC to let you know what that is and by that time, the opportunity is gone. Again, be cautious with this one. Yes even in affiliate marketing. Sometimes many of these companies have poor ratings with consumer protection agencies. They have also been featured in many media reports as a legit company to work with.
For a lot of people this type of stuff is important. It gives folks a sense of security that you won't get screwed over. Personally I take all that stuff with a grain of salt.
I tend to focus more on real people that have actually worked with the company to make my decisions. But to each their own. I don't know, it may be me, but it took me a while to figure out what this was all about when reading their website.
I think they could have simplified it a bit by maybe having a video walking through how this all works for the work at home seeker's point of view. But even when I did find it, I really thought they could do a better job of explaining their opportunity in plain human being English.
Another thing that stands out to me is technology issues. The arise system doesn't support all browsers like Chrome or Firefox. Also, they have not updated their software, so it does not work with Windows Vista or Windows 7. Only versions of Windows XP are listed on the site. In addition there are only eight anti-virus systems that the software supports and you have to have one of them.
So this may hinder some folks that are perfectly qualified to do the work from joining. You're also going to need to install a landline, as the award winning patented phone system does not work on cell phones.
Virtual cell phone online support? Not in the cards. This is probably the biggest complaints for most people. I blame this on the over simplified advice provided by other work at home websites and the media.
They've pumped that any work at home related opportunity that requires a fee is a scam. What they've failed to do is clarify the exclusions. For instance when was the last time you heard that you could start your own McDonald's without any money? I mean how are you suppose to lease the store, buy the food, supplies, etc.? Well a home business works the same way. The only major difference is your start up costs tends to be less because you're using your home and probably your personal computer to get started.
But you still have to invest in other supplies to get your business off the ground. Well Arise. Unfortunately most of the people that are complaining about the fees don't understand the big difference. The real advice that everyone should follow is don't pay for a job. Although even that advice is flawed because we've all done it when you bought a newspaper to find a job, paid someone to write a resume, use the internet you pay for to find a job, etc.
But in generally if on the offline world you wouldn't pay someone to work for them at a job, you shouldn't do it online. But it's perfectly reasonable to invest money in a legitimate home based business, business and or career training provided you've done the research.
See my scam video on how doing research effectively. Now that you have been educated about fees regarding work at home, it's still worth itemizing what your initial start up cost will be to run your business in partnership with Arise. Because at the end of the day, even if they are legitimate, it may still be too rich for your blood and that's still a con for some people.
So let's itemize the start up cost below:. Home Office set up. The initial costs for the home office would be the computer which I assume you will already have, high speed Internet connection which you may or may not have and anti-virus software. Dial up connections just don't work for this. And folks, it has to be your own Internet address, no going to the library to do this! When you sign up or buy through links on this post, we may receive compensation. And the list goes on.
In addition, it provides you with learning materials to help you develop your skills and start working on your own. Arise is an online platform that supports you to work on your terms — no boss, no office, your schedule. As an Arise platform member, you can work from the comfort of your home and earn extra income by providing customer support services to brands you love. The company was founded in with a simple, but powerful mission — to change the way the world works.
Arise provides you with comprehensive training, call center infrastructure and software, and a network of reputable clients looking for support solutions. Working with Arise, you have an opportunity to choose the client that fits your preferences, make your own hours, and work from home.
To start working with Arise, you need to meet a few basic requirements, such as:. Joining Arise and getting started can be a long and challenging process. It can take several weeks from sign-up to the time you start making money. The first step to joining Arise is to submit an online application by providing your contact information. The most important thing to get clear is this: you are not becoming an employee of Arise. The main thing that sets people off when they learn the specifics about Arise is the startup costs.
Arise is one of the few legitimate exceptions, in my opinion. First, you need to apply and pass a basic skills assessment. You will need to take additional training before you can start working for individual clients. Training is unpaid and may last several weeks. Payments are made every two weeks by direct deposit.
Here are some reasons you should think twice before jumping in:. Ultimately what Arise does is set you up with your own business. The bottom line of working from home with Arise is this: It only makes sense as a long-term commitment.
