Study Reveals At-Home Loan Officers, MLM and Insurance Agents May Double in 2009
LOS ANGELES --(Business Wire)--
A study performed by CallFire™ reveals that interest in at-home Virtual Call Center™ services has nearly doubled in the first week of operation of 2009. Weekly sales inquiries for at-home Virtual Call Centers have increased year over year by over 52%. CallFire's �new-user' sign up rate for Loan Officers, MLM agents and Insurance agents has also shown a 33% increase.
CallFire provides web-based predictive dialing and contact management tools that save time and organize at-home salespeople who need to contact thousands of businesses. In this dynamic economy, many Americans have chosen to supplement household income by embracing MLM & other work-from-home opportunities. This interest has resulted in a noted increase in sales inquiries for Virtual Call Center services.
"Fluctuations of interest in Virtual Call Center solutions are a good barometer of our economic environment," said Dinesh Ravishanker, CallFire CEO and co-founder. "As Americans find their time and checkbooks are increasingly leveraged they are trying to find ways to become more efficient. We're happy to provide a cost-effective solution for at-home sales agents that want to double or triple their sales effort by leveraging technology."
To further supplement CallFire's forecasted increase in at-home agents, the company has released a free iPhone application called FriendCast. Salespeople using FriendCast can easily send personal voice messages to many clients while on-the-go. The ad-supported service eliminates the time and hassle of making many phone calls and typing lengthy text messages while driving. Instead iPhone users can send a free voice-recorded personal message to many of their contacts at once.
