There are very few barriers to entry for work from home customer service representatives. All you need is a computer and a headset. Calls are VoIP so there is no need for a physical telephone or even a phone line. A great benefit for employers is the ability to have shifts outside of business hours, this allows companies to handle more customer-related issues during times when traditional in-office calls would stop.  This model is a favorite for call centers as they no longer have to maintain large buildings and systems and can still service their clients.

Some positions focus solely on administrative tasks like maintaining calendars and schedules and invoicing clients while others require experience in copywriting and social media management. These tasks can all be done remotely and communication can be done via apps such as Slack and Microsoft Teams that allow the sharing of ideas, documents, and calendars.
