Overpass

Transform your sales with the only platform for hiring remote sales experts, monitoring and managing your team, tracking outcomes and measuring success.

The Overpass marketplace is where you can review agent listings and schedule interviews. At the press of a button, you can focus marketplace listings on agents with experience in your industry. Search for digital marketing, finance, insurance, real estate, and technology industries.

Remote workers are typically more productive than on-site workers. On-site workers may spend time interacting with colleagues, which can hamper their productivity. 

Introducing remote work positions with agents requires a shift in thinking. Companies have relied on on-site employees for decades and are accustomed to monitoring workers in person. Some may be concerned about remote work because they're worried about worker productivity and supervision.

Utilizing a custom platform like Overpass enables employers to track contractor productivity. Companies can have total confidence in their sales team's performance with custom software allowing them to monitor each contractor's work in real-time.

Overpass offers two convenient options businesses can consider. Perhaps you have a work platform used by employees and want your agents to work off that existing system. You can choose the Talent Only plan, which gives you full access to the marketplace and the contractor payment system on our site. This is the most affordable plan. There's no sign-up fee, and you can conduct as many interviews as needed.

It's also free to sign up for the Talent and Tech plan. Talent and Tech is more expensive than Talent Only, but in addition to unlimited interviews and access to the payroll system, you'll also have access to the CRM dialer. Your agents can make an unlimited number of calls, and you'll retain recordings of all calls made. One of the advantages of using the software platform is that you can keep all contractor activities in one convenient location, and we look after system maintenance for you.
