How do you manage large call programs on the cheap

hi all!

Moved into a new role(commission only) and am in the position of having to pay for some my own tools 🤣. its contracted real estate position, so I get at lot of the tech stack paid for, but certain things are out of my pocket(under LLC of course for write offs)

I've used many outbound auto dealers in the past(talkdesk, 59 other stuff), but am looking for something fairly simple to keep in contact with my list(1000s of contacts).

these are warm or hot leads that I have to consistently be checking in with multiple time a month.

question: what can I use to just upload these contacts and auto dial with my iPhone Ive tried CallOnTheGo which works "ok" but I don't think it's being developed anymore.

Is this a legitimate gig? It's one thing to not pay any base, but you have to pay for your own tech stack too?

Is this normal?

Dude may want to rethink who you work for. This is really bad. Senior AE’s building their own stack is insane. Could be wrong but just trying to look out for a fellow bravadoin

Appreciate it. Contracted real estate position, not AE, so they pay for a lot, but not call center type stuff

Apollo has a free version, have you tried that out? What is wrong with CallOnTheGo?

It just lags out sometimes where it skips numbers.

No base AND you have to bring your own tech stack???

How is this not a scam company?

That's what I'm wondering...

Your own device? Sure, we all have a laptop. But the software and subscriptions? Nah

Requiring you to pay for your own stack is one (ridiculous, insulting, unprofessional) thing. Your leadership presumably having little view into metrics is quite another. I'd *definitely* look for something more professional.

It’s a contracted real estate position haha. So there’s a lot they pay for, but call center type stuff is not one of them.
