Telephone Survey Work with Optimum Contact

jasperconran

Well, finally made a start. first 3 calls nothing, then 4th call, I did my first survey:j lets hope this continues and I get loads more done today! fingers crossed:D


hmmmm, getting lots of answering machines now. I wonder if its worth waiting until this afternoon! I have to say I know ive only completed one survey, but I really enjoyed it!

jasperconran

there hasnt been much activity on this thread for a few days. How is everyone doing?

I have had a dreadful start dont want to give up already as its only been a couple of days....so I decided to start afresh on Monday as ive its been making me feel quite low.

I dont want to be a pessimist, but I really hope that I can earn some decent money from this company, the way I feel at the moment, I doubt it!!!

After my earlier post stating that it is nigh-on impossible to make decent money from this unless working 40+ hours per week, I've tried again a few times, and I'm still no closer to believing that just 30 hours per week work can result in £130+ pay

I started at 11am, made 21 calls - most were unanswered, 3 uninterested, one lady charmingly told me not to bother phoning again and hung up, one lady completed a survey (:j) and I have 2 callbacks scheduled for later on today.

I'm going to keep on with it as it's handy to be paid weekly but I have another opportunity that is more money, but one of those jobs you only do if you absolutely 'have' to - and you're paid by cheque fortnightly. But with that job, I made £100 one Sunday and usually £20 at least for an hour or two's work...I don't have time to do both, but it's trying to work out which one to concentrate all my time on....

One survey, what a shame thats alot of calls to make and to not make any money thats awful.

£100 one sunday!!!! wow:T I would love a job like that. for this job, are they taking any more peeps on, could you pm me some details? bit cheeky I know, but I am desperate to earn some money!!!

I wonder if that's a 'saucy job' Vixxxen? i'd be interested to know.

Anyway I may give this survey work a go but it doesn't sound very promising though and I've had a look at the scripts and they are wordy to say the least.

I'd be interested to know how some of the others who signed up to this a while back are getting on, but I suppose the only way to know for sure is to start doing it yourself. Maybe tomorrow.

Haha well yes possibly calamity-j; some people enjoy it but it's really not my thing, then again it only took me 2.5 hours to earn that £100 as Sundays are usually busy for me.

It's just weighing up...do I want to be called every name under the sun and earn quite a bit, or sit listening to ringing phones that are never answered for - in my current experience - peanuts.

It's a shame, as I'd much rather do 'normal' work than 'saucy'

I just can't work out what time of the day is best to try and do the surveys; I've tried mornings 9am-11ish, 12-2 I usually get lots of people saying they're having their lunch, towards 3pm you get quite a few about to do the school run and I know if someone phoned me after 6pm to carry out what most people would see as marketing surveys (even though that's not what they are), I'd be fuming! Lol.

This is just based on my own experience though, maybe some people might have better luck at these times.

calamity-j

It seems as if you've really been trying Vixxxen, what about 3-6pm and later have you had any luck then, I think you've got kids too so those would probably be difficult times for you. This would be ideal to combine with your 'saucy' work or even to take over from it if you could get it to work for you. It would be interesting to hear what others say about the right times to make the calls. I hope you have better luck soon.

Sounds good vixxxen! Congrats

I've yet to make a *proper* start on the OC surveys.

Have been paid for a grand total of 4 surveys, but I only put a few hours in (over a few different days) for that, so I can't say I've given it a fair crack of the whip yet.

Am restarting on the surveys this Friday, when I reactivate my Skype subscription.

Vixxxen -

Is the chatline work via 'Excel Telemedia' by any chance? Am seriously considering it, as I'm in dire need of making some money!

I'm a bloke though, and I think this company is the only one to hire blokes.

If you have any further info re chatline work for men, I'd appreciate it!

Cheers,

Sim.
