[QUOTE="Jasz, post: 222194, member: 61772"] Telemarketers, or call center agents, are people who are hired to work in a large office setting, and make phone calls to potential customers all day long. Although working as a call center agent lets you work from home, it can be very challenging to make money.You'll be expected to cold-call people who are probably very busy and don't want to talk to you. [B]Let's look at some of the disadvantages:[/B] [SIZE=22px]Low or No Payment[/SIZE] You'll also have to worry about not being paid for all your calls if your employer doesn't use call logging software. Not only will you lose money, but you could also end up paying taxes on money you didn't even receive. [SIZE=22px]Risk of Being Scammed[/SIZE] Telemarketers are at risk of being scammed by employees of other companies that sell similar products or services. This may sound far-fetched, but think about it: if someone working for the competition can trick you into taking the day off, they may be able to trick you out of your paycheck! [SIZE=22px]There is a lot of Competition.[/SIZE] Not only are you competing with other telemarketers for the same sales, you're also competing against popular TV shows and social media that may distract the customers you're calling. [SIZE=22px]You Will Face a lot of Rejections.[/SIZE] As much as people don't like to talk on the phone, they also don't like being sold over the phone. It can take a while to get used to this rejection and know how to deal with it effectively. [SIZE=22px]Diabetes[/SIZE] Diabetes is one of the main problems that affect telemarketers. Because the job requires sitting down for several hours at a time, it is easy to develop diabetes from gaining weight, especially if you are not eating healthy snacks and meals throughout the day. If you want to avoid this problem, try standing up during your breaks instead of sitting down. Also, consider taking a walk during your lunch break or doing some yoga during your workday. [SIZE=22px]It can Cause Depression[/SIZE] if you do not have an upbeat attitude towards life and people in general. The constant rejection from potential customers can get frustrating after awhile, and it may seem like everyone hates you by the end of each shift. To combat this problem, find ways to enjoy yourself while at work such as listening to music or playing card games with coworkers during breaks. You [/QUOTE]
