Prepaid Phone Card Selling As A Home Business

Many people dream of owning their own businesses, and selling prepaid phone cards at home would make a nice start to a good business proposition. Starting this business should be quite easy and could convert your dreams into reality.

However, there is a very wide gap between dreams and reality. Your dreams, whatever the may be, can only be achieved with careful planning.

As a home-based entrepreneur, you will need to have a plan to avoid pitfalls, to achieve your goals, and to build a profitable home business, such as selling prepaid phone cards. But first let?s create a general overview of what one needs to have in mind when starting a prepaid phone card home business, and among the key points to bear in mind are the following:

A.) Find out if wholesale agents purchase voice traffic from telecom providers at wholesale, or discounted rates.

B.) Determine the amount of investment required to set up a prepaid card home selling business, and find out if there are any sign up or monthly fees, or if you sell the services under their own brand.

C.) Inquire from your service provider if they provide customizable business management, or web-based platforms to the wholesale agents, where you can:

> Set your own rates for their customers. > Create different rate plans with different billing increments (rounding to seconds, 30 seconds, 1 minute etc.), impose connection and disconnection charges, monthly fees and other parameters. Check if billing can be done in a local currency. > Credit and charge amounts to/from accounts > Configure postpaid or prepaid billing types for the customers > Record own voice greetings and messages > See the billing and errors for each account > Configure speed dial numbers or services for the customers > Generate pin codes for calling cards

D.) Ask if it is possible to provide a Customer Account Management (CAM) interface, or billing platform at the agent's web-site. If they would provide you with this kind of interface, your customers would be able to: > See their balance or current monthly usage > See their pin codes. > Change the callback numbers. > View and print billing reports and invoices > Update their personal information (i.e. address, phone, e-mail etc.)

E.) Also check if they provide voice prompts that are available in a number of international languages, for foreign callers or buyers.

F.) Find out if they impose minimum monthly sales requirements on your prepaid home selling business account.

G.) Do try out their customer service departments, and evaluate the quality and promptness of that service.

Having a good customer service platform helps in ensuring your prepaid card home selling business could cope with customer concerns like defective cards, improper billing, theft or loss of card, client feedback and suggestions.

H.) Analyze and compare phone card features with other brands.

Make a comparison of your prospective telecom service provider with other networks and resellers. Do find out if they have features such as PINless dialing, the ability to store multiple telephone numbers in one PIN, Custom voice prompts, Could the PIN save your own greeting messages, does it record promotional messages and take advantage of the promotional card business, does it have multiple recharge options, does it have convenient methods of recharging accounts, could it provide instant credit card charge, international callback modes, international toll free access, and affordable toll free access from US, Canada, Latin America and Europe.
