Note: a “telemarketer” for high-net worth clients requires SLIGHTLY different skills than some bum who calls you for loan or credit card.
I’m sure somebody with those skills is worth every cent of his salary…

As a former Citi Group employee I will confirm that the salary listed above is in fact correct for the year of 2009. However, the title in which Citi Group pays this amount is under Customer Service Sales. So basically it is a dual function job which is why it has an increased salary. This by the way is the national average salary for a customer service employee. There is also an additional clarification that must be made on this topic. The starting base salary is $10.50/hr. which before taxes comes out to be around $21,500, not including sales incentives, ($20,000 after taxes).

Yes True, Telemarketer is a job and same as like other Jobs around…you work hard to earn. No need to compare la, if you work hard, u should deserve all the Money they can offer you. No need to be jelous other people earn 20k or 30k. Think again, what they do and what u do, how much effort u put in and how much effort they put in.

dear someone, telemarketer is a job like anything else. There’s even a career path to become a centre manager or something. Yes, you sometimes have to face difficult customers, which is same for any other sales job.
So yes I wouldn’t mind being a rich telemarketer if such a high paying (and easy) job really exists.

if tradeoffs of being a rich telemarketer are acceptable to you and you rather be rich calling people, instead of having to go to meetings, deliver complicated reports, dealing with office politics OR getting $3K in comparison while getting scolded and “phone-slammed” by the boss, it may be worth your while to really act upon it and become a rich telemarketer.

>Has anyone scolded a telemarketer before? Slammed the phone? Threatened to report? Vowed to get him/her fired?

It’s hard to deny it’s a comparatively easy job considering what you need to do… no meetings, no complicated reports, no office politics.
