Hire a call center: frequently asked questions

How do I hire a customer service call center?

Fill out the Hire a Call Center request on this page: pick your services, verticals, agent count, hours and time zones, budget, dialer and tracking, and upload your script and sample recordings. Your request goes to a Data Monster Chief Liaison Officer (CLO), who reviews it and follows up with matched, verified call centers.

Can I hire a call center for sales, not just customer service?

Yes. You can request inbound sales, outbound sales, live transfers, appointment setting, lead generation, speed-to-lead follow-up, database reactivation, licensed insurance and Medicare agents, collections and more, in any of 434 verticals.

What is CPA, and can I hire a call center on a CPA basis?

CPA means cost per acquisition. You pay only when a defined result happens, such as a verified sale, a qualified live transfer or a booked appointment. Select CPA in the pricing section and describe what counts as an acquisition and what you can pay for each one. Availability depends on your vertical and offer.

What does “additional departments” mean?

Additional departments are the support teams that run around the agents: quality assurance, training and onboarding, workforce management (scheduling and forecasting), team leads and supervisors, compliance and DNC scrubbing, IT and dialer administration, reporting and analytics, recruiting and HR, a dedicated account manager, and back-office or escalation teams. Tick the ones you want included or priced separately.

Can I upload my script and sample call recordings?

Yes. The form lets you upload call scripts, sample recordings of good calls, and other documents like QA scorecards or objection-handling guides, so vendors can see exactly what you expect.

Which verticals do you cover?

All 434 verticals in the Data Monster marketplace, including insurance, Medicare, ACA, solar, mortgage, real estate, legal, home services, financial services, healthcare, e-commerce, B2B and many more. Search the list in the form and select as many as apply.

Can I choose the hours, schedule and time zone?

Yes. You enter the campaign time zone (where your callers are), your own time zone, calling hours, days of the week, and whether you need 24/7, overnight or weekend coverage.

What do I need to tell you about my budget?

Share your monthly, weekly and hourly budget, or a range, and whether it is firm or flexible. If you want to pay per result, choose CPA. If you are unsure, choose “Need guidance” and your CLO will help.

Do I need my own dialer, CRM or call tracking?

No. Tell us what you use (Vicidial, Five9, Convoso, Salesforce, HubSpot, Ringba, Retreaver and others) or choose “recommend one for me.” Many call centers supply the dialer; some programs use yours.

How is my payment protected?

Marketplace payments are protected by Data Monster, Inc. Funds are held until you confirm that the agreed services were delivered.

Who sees my request and my contact details?

Your request is routed to a Data Monster Chief Liaison Officer who reviews it and contacts you. Vendors do not receive your direct contact details through the marketplace.
