Why These Jobs Are Easy to Get Into
So now that you know these remote jobs exist, you might be wondering why these jobs are easy to get into.
Performance-Based Pay Structure
This is because many of these jobs are performance-based, and this is where the commission part comes in. A lot of these appointment-setting and sales positions are either fully commission-based or have a base pay structure with performance commission incentives, even if they involve inbound calling or cold calling. So this is because a lot of companies, especially for jobs of this nature, are paying for results.
They are paying for someone who actually gets appointments booked. So if you manage to get six appointments, you will be paid for those six appointments. They are often more willing to hire beginners and people without traditional qualifications because they are looking for people who are hungry. They want people who can actually deliver results.
Imagine knowing that if I don’t get anyone booked, I don’t get paid. But if I do get 10 clients booked, that’s 10 client commissions that I’m getting. So compared to these highly competitive remote jobs where hundreds of people with degrees and experience are applying for, these roles can be easier to break into because they are not necessarily easier to do, but they are easier to access. And that is the important difference.
Less Competition and High Turnover
And another reason is that there is less competition for these jobs. Who wants to make 600 calls a day? Like honestly, who wants to make that sort of thing? And of those 600 calls, you are dealing with customers. They’ll be turning you down. They’ll be angry at you. Not a lot of people are keen on that idea of getting into that type of space, which makes these companies always hiring for people like these because there’s always high employee turnover for these positions. Employees, some people don’t last long. They actually don’t like these types of positions.
A lot of people get into these jobs, which makes it an advantage. It’s easier access. It’s an easier entry. And if this is your thing, like you are very good on the phone, you can actually make quite some money. Like, you get a base pay, and you get the incentives. You get the commission; you’ll be getting good. But this is something that you have to be okay with. You have to be comfortable with it. And again, less competition.
English Proficiency Is the Main Skill Required
And reason number three, if you have noticed while we were going through these job listings, is that they require strong written and verbal English. So you do need to have good English, enough English, and professional English so that you are able to communicate with the company, your team members, and the clients, especially if you’re going to be making 600 calls, 200 calls per day, speaking in English; then you definitely do need that strong English. And you do need to report to your managers and the other team members the outcomes of these calls. So do remember that, you know, if you’re applying for these positions, definitely make sure that your English skills are intact.
Where to Find These Positions
Now let’s talk about the way you can find these positions. And if you could see while we were going through these job listings, we mostly use Indeed. We also use Simply Hired. We also use LinkedIn. This is where you will find a lot of these positions. We can actually vouch for Indeed because we do see a lot of companies, especially small companies, looking for people who are going to be handling calls and who are going to be dealing with customers.
So definitely do check on Indeed and also try out LinkedIn and all the other recruitment companies we have shared previously. They do hire for such positions.
Important Things to Consider Before Applying
So now you know these jobs exist. You know how much they pay, the pay structure, and why they’re easy to get into. Before you go on to rushing and applying for these jobs, we do want to keep it realistic for everyone.
These Roles Are Not for Everyone
These roles are not just for everyone. These roles require a lot of communication. These roles require a lot of consistency. They require a lot of resilience. They require a lot of being able to handle rejections and being able to handle customers, especially if these are sales-oriented positions.
Understand the Payment Structure
If a role is commission-based, that means your income varies month to month depending on your performance. So if you have zero bookings on a fully commissioned role, if you have zero bookings, then you do not get any money. You do not get paid at all. This is very performance-heavy.
So before accepting any opportunity, we want you to understand how the payment structure works for these positions, whether there is a base salary associated with that specific position, and what exceptions the company has and also understand the commission structure. You saw on that other position, it says one to five percent. So you do need to obtain clarity on whether it’s a two percent commission on a book lead. Is it four percent? Is it five percent? Those are things you need to ask during the interview phase.
Conclusion
Overall, these are positions we’ve seen that if you want to break into remote work, you actually might start in. It’s effortless to get one of those jobs because these companies are always hiring for appointment setters. They are always hiring lead generators, and sometimes getting a chance to work there is more important than actually finding your dream remote job.
You actually might start off as a sales closer. You don’t know where you’re going to end up. But having that experience working in a remote environment is what these recruitment companies or remote hiring employers are looking for.
