Usually telemarketers are paid by the hour but would you do telemarketing if someone paid you straight $100 a month? WHy or why not.?

it depends of how many hours to work coz if i work for 8 hours since its our normal working hours here in my country then 100 dollars is not enough unless i only do this job at home as part time specially those who didnt have income then no why not. a hundred will help already. i know telemarketing is not an easy job with those irate people who will answer the phone but as long as you didnt see them and they cant hurt me physically then i guess ill just of it as part of my job

100 dollars for just making calls and no required quota might be reasonable.

It depends!. It depends on my financial situation. If I am able to find an alternative job with a higher earnings. If not yes I would do it. Beggars cannot be choosers. I prefer to earn a little amount of money than nothing at all. I would do anything to earn me a little amount of money. Right now I am doing a job online, updating sports news for a local company. I know that it is making good money through my work but I am getting an extra stable income. Though it is not great, it is there and I can count on it at the end of each month.

Sometimes knowing it's going to be there that extra 100 is not pennies which is what people usually get online.. I know if I didn't have such an abhorance for rejection and slamming phones I wouldn't mind it.

I probably wouldn't since I can make that much in five days with the one site that I belong to.

It depends on my hours. If I could work for only 1 hour a day, I'll take the job for sure. If I had to work for 9 or so hours a day, i would just laugh my head of at the meager offer. The reason is because I should be free to do other things to create income if I have to work for only $100 a month. I feel that those extra hours would be a waste of valuable time. That sum of money doesn't go far in my neck of the woods.

are you afraid of people.. say business people saying "no" when you call? do you feel hurt when calling to businessess? I know many companies that like to hire people from home and will give a small sum for calling out .. Have you ever did telemarketing before?
