Wow, there seems to be a lot of confusion concerning what gets paid by Americall if you are an English speaking rep. First, most telemarketing firms that have a higher hourly wage than incentive limit the number of hours reps work and only keep them for 90 days and let them go. Secondly, you can easily earn over 100 pesos an hour with incentives. Usually call centers that aren't strictly customer service centers generate their revenue by sales. No call center that is a selling center can survive without the reps making sales. That's why incentives are important. On English only campaigns the incentive is usually $60 to $65 pesos per sale. The best sellers earn between $18,000.00 to $20,000.00 RD per month. The math is simple if you sell. Now if you can't sell or don't make the effort you don't make as much money and don't last. We have a lot of people come to Americall and they don't work out, just as in the US, because it is not suited for them, but if you can sell then you can earn an above average wage for Puerto Plata. In fact, the hourly wage of $44 per hour based on a Dominican work week of 44.50 hours per week is at a minimum $8,000 pesos per month.
So, regardless of what is being said or rumored, you can make way above the average in the Puerto Plata area and Santiago. The bus trip from Santiago is free, it is long but in the US people commute for 90 minutes or more and have to pay their own transportation. Our building is modern, air conditioned and in the Free Zone. Come see us.
