ARO is a company located in Kansas City, Missouri that offers an opportunity for local and out of state residents to work from home in a virtual call center environment. The company offers services to clients in the medical, insurance, and financial fields. Home workers take calls for medical, insurance, seminar, and financial customers regarding a variety of services including call center, back office, outbound CRM, customer interaction, data entry, and web-based services. In the past, the company hired on-site workers but has slowly turned their organization into a virtual environment. They are still a brick and mortar but most of their business is done virtually including hiring people to work from home and answer their calls for their many different clients.

ARO has understood the benefits of using telecommuters. Unlike many companies, they realize the company saves money using virtual workers instead of completely hiring on-site workers. ARO hires for several work from home positions. The first position is for Business To Business Telesales Representatives. This position is for people who are comfortable making calls (outbound) offering products to the customers of ARO's clients, so you need to be comfortable selling, although sales experience is not required. There is training involved either on location or via web. The next position is for Customer Service Representatives, which involves taking inbound calls, collecting and providing information, and entering data. You need to have customer service experience.

Takeaways
  • ARO hires local and out of state residents for their home positions
  • Training is either locally or via the web
  • Satellite service will not work for high-speed Internet
