How can I get a cold calling job working from home?

There are no formal education requirements to obtain a cold calling job from home, though having a background in marketing, public relations, or similar areas, or customer service experience can help you stand out from other applicants. Some companies consider these entry-level positions, so most provide on-the-job training. Employers may require specific home equipment or setups, such as a landline, phone headset, and relatively new phone. They may also ask you to maintain a quiet and distraction-free environment and proof of meeting these criteria during the hiring process. Other qualifications include excellent communication and organizational skills and the ability to follow directions.
