I have been registered with RRReview since last summer, but have never been offered a BPO. For those of you who do work for them, how low do you have to make your fees to get work from them? Are low fees the key, or is it something else??? Do I have to offer a sacrifice to the BPO gods?

fees are the key ..

Once I lowered my fees to $39.99 for exteriors...I started getting $40 orders....Then after a few, I stopped accepting them....Personally, I don't think it's worth it....I'd rather work for at least $50 on the exteriors with easy forms that take 30-45 mins...the companies that pay the lowball fees, also seem to have the most difficult and annoying forms...go figure

Fees are definately key.

I got a call from a rep who told me that they had a lot of business in my area, and that if I lowered my fees I would be very busy.

I get the occaisonal order from them, usually a rush, and gladly accept it, but I'm not interested in working for less.

So all they care about is fee's, not quality? If I lower my fees to $39 and do a good job and establish a relationship, then raise them, they will send the orders to someone else? I have not seen any other companies work this way. Do they at least offer you BPO's close to your office like CC (usally)? Or could they be farther away?
Thanks for your comments!

LOL. No, they want you to do a good job AND they only want to pay you about a dollar to do it. I believe that you are right, if you take them for the lower amount, do a few and then raise your price they will simply move on to another agent. It's a business and they are in business to make money. If they can get a decent BPO from an agent willing to do it for $35, why wouldn't they?

I've raised my fee with RRR from $40, then to $50 now $60 for an exterior and $70 for a "rush". I don't get a lot but usually 4-5 a week. I was thinking of dropping them when they were paying $50 as I don't like their form at all. But at $60 it is easier to do! (hmmm...thats weird, huh?)

And they are paying in under 30 days...
