Hey everyone, I am a new hire at west and have learned quite a bit from reading all of your posts. I have a couple questions for all of the seasoned agents out there:
1. Is DR (Direct Response) as bad as everyone says it is? As far as skills go that is my only choice right now, and I haven't signed up for the training yet cause I am a bit nervous from what I've read.
What would you guys suggest?
2. Does anyone enjoy doing DR or have any suggestions about making it more pleasent?
3.How many upsells are ther during the typical phone call?
4. Are there alot of hours with DR, and can you make alot of money doing it?
5. If I do the training and decide I don't want this skill how will it affect my status as an employee with West.
Sorry to unload all of these questions on everyone......
Thanks for all who respond
Nick

I think I applied like 2 to 3 months ago and I just got the email asking me to fill out all the forms. (I actually forgot I applied!!) I have finished that step and now I need to make copies of my SS card, DL and get that form notarized. Is it best to just scan these and email them in since you only have a 3 day window? Will I have to send the hard copy in the mail anyway? How long will it be before I hear on the next step? I have read so many different answers on this. Some people hear back right away and others are sending in papers 2 or 3 times and still no response weeks and weeks later.
Does anyone know how the hours have been recently? Do you get your pick or do you have to scrounge for whatever they have available? I do not have a land line yet because everyone in our house has their own cell phone besides the 2 year old. haha Should I get the land line set up immediately or will it be a month or more before I even hear anything frm anyone? I hate wasting money and dont want to do anything prematurely.
I read on another thread that someone had a Vontage Flash Drive V-phone. Please tell me if this is compatable with the West system and for anyone who has this if they recommend it! Thanks!! I know this is a lot, but I want to make sure I get all the info out there!
