• Comfort using web-based tools and technology.
• The ability to independently manage accepted tasks.
• Access to an environment and equipment suitable for clear, professional phone conversations.

• Contractors determine how to conduct calls and gather information.
• Contractors are free to provide services to other businesses and clients.

Compensation

• Contractors are responsible for their own applicable taxes and business expenses, subject to the terms of their independent contractor agreement.
• Specific payment terms are outlined in Duckbill's Independent Contractor Agreement.
