What type of work are the client opportunities offered through GlobeCom?
Client opportunities offered through GlobeCom are available via our partners platforms and are strictly contract-based. Service professionals can expect to answer incoming calls, reply to emails, make reservations, process payments, book appointments, provide possible technical support, answer general questions, and much more. The contracts typically last approximately 90 days or more, with the potential for extension based on client needs and performance. This flexibility allows independent contractors to engage in short or long-term commitments while maintaining the opportunity for continued work if desired.
Can I choose my clients and work schedule?
Yes, you have the freedom and flexibility to select clients that align with your skills and interests and complete autonomy over your schedule and workload with a committment to a minimum of 15 hours per week based on your availability and client needs.
Can you service more than one client program?
Yes. You will need to complete the client program certification course for each client program you wish to service.
Can I work from any location?
You can work from anywhere inside the United States except the following:
CA, CO, CT, DC, IL, MA, MD, MN, NJ, NY, OR, PA, VT, WA, WI
This includes the District of Columbia and US territories Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands.
What kind of training can I expect?
You’ll receive a comprehensive virtual certification program tailored to the client you’ll be servicing. Classes typically run 4 hours a day over 3 to 8 weeks, depending on the program. A Class Confirmation Deposit may be required to secure your spot, which is refunded after you complete your first full day of class. A background check fee may also apply if one is not already on file.
Certification courses are paid from Day 1 of attendance. This allows you to begin building your income while you learn, making certification both a training opportunity and a paid experience.
How much revenue can I earn?
The average starting rate for service revenue ranges from $11.50-$18.50 per hour PLUS client bonuses or incentives based on performance metrics, including attendance.
These bonuses or incentives can increase earnings by up to 40%
Most GlobeCom service partners earn an average of $600 – $1,000+ semi-monthly (twice a month). This serves as an additional stream of income for many. To maximize earnings, some service partners choose to support multiple clients, with some working with up to three clients.
The longer you service, the more you earn! As you work and gain experience by servicing clients, your pay rate can increase over time, depending on your performance and other factors. We recommend thoroughly reviewing the client opportunity announcement once you have completed the registration process.
How long before I can start working and earning income?
The admissions process at GlobeCom can take as little as three business days. Once you complete onboarding and officially join the team, you can select a client certification course. Certification courses typically start within 30 days or less, with durations ranging from just 3 to 8 weeks, depending on the client.
Upon successfully passing certification, you can begin working immediately. Realistically, the entire process—from admission to earning your first paycheck—may take around 1 to 2 months, depending on how quickly you complete each step and the course you choose.
What is the timeframe for selecting a client?
You have 30 days from completing the Admissions & Onboarding process to enroll in a client certification course. If you’re unable to enroll within this timeframe, please reach out to support so we can assess your situation and consider granting an extension.
Am I compensated for the time spent completing certification?
Yes. Certification courses are paid from Day 1 of attendance once enrolled and actively attending certification. While GlobeCom facilitates the connection between our partners’ clients and independent contractors or authorized agents, it remains your responsibility to complete all required certifications to ensure you are adequately prepared to provide services to the client.
Please note: A refundable Class Confirmation Deposit may be required to secure your spot in a course, and a background check fee applies if one is not already on file. These costs are the responsibility of the independent professional.
How am I paid?
Earnings are distributed twice-monthly on via direct deposit to your bank account. You will receive payment for hours completed based on the revenue structure of each client program you service, giving you a clear understanding of your earnings.
Are there service fees?
Our Service and Administration fee is 10% of earnings, automatically deducted each invoice period (twice per month).
This all-inclusive fee covers:
- Platform access
- Administrative support
- Key tools and resources
- Access to an established client base
- Infrastructure provided through GlobeCom
No hidden fees. No surprises.
We believe in transparency. All details are clearly outlined on our website and in your contract, so you always know what to expect. There are no additional costs—you can begin servicing without the need to incorporate.
Only pay when you earn.
The service fee is only assessed when you’re actively servicing and receiving payment. If there’s no revenue during a given invoice period, no fee is charged.
If Agent has concurrent SOW’s, only one usage fee applies.
Note: This fee may be deductible as a business expense on your taxes.
Am I responsible for my own taxes as a service partner?
Yes, as a Self-Employed Independent Contractor, you are responsible for your own taxes. You will receive a Form 1099-MISC at the end of the year if you earn $600 or more. As an Independent Contractor, you are not employed by Globecom or our cients. You are responsible for all applicable federal, state, and local taxes, and you are not eligible for unemployment, overtime, or benefits. Please consult with your tax professional.
