Recently I got again a real slavery offer. As the company, which is offering it does not expect to pay something to the center they have even forgotten to add any earnings in their offer. Read first the offer and my explanations afterwards:

if you take a look at the world largest cruise ships at Wikipedia then you see that the average capacity of such a cruise ship is around 4000 passengers.
Why this offer is a slavery offer?
- Ship cruises are expensive. The last minute discounted prices around US$ 100/night/person. The promoter of such tours have the problem to sell the beds at a normal way. For this they are offering last minute tickets with discounts up to 75%. Think about how many cold calls you have to make
- You see in their offer, that an agent has to handle two calls at the same time. That means they don't have already enough money to make a lead generation on a normal way.
- The center has to rent their technology
Sorry, but if someone likes that you use their technology, than they have to provide it for free and they have to pay for the time the agents get their training!
- The center has to pay for the VoIP minutes
Sorry, but for whom they agents are calling? This one, which likes to earn has to pay for the VoIP minutes!
They even like to reduce their phone bill, because the transferred call will run on the call centers bill!!!
- An agent has to make 200+ calls each hour
That are 100 calls per line and hour. In average speaking time (sorry playback time - they like to use Avatar) is 36 seconds for each call. if I get such a call then I'll hang up immediately. With such a system is a sale not possible. In this case we can use speech recognition too and don't need agents for it. The caller cannot say more than Hello, yes and no in this time.
I would not buy or accept such leads. In such a case I can buy phone directory data too! They are even cheaper.
In summary is this offer more worse then a SCAM. The client likes even to earn from the call center!!!
