BPO Lists – Don’t Pay for Them!

One of the main draws to my blog includes my free BPO list I make available to all agents. What goes into a good BPO list? How do you know which are the good and bad companies?

Constant Work-in-Progress

Since I compiled my list back in 2009, there have been many changes in the BPO/REO industry. Some companies are out of business, some companies have gotten better, some worse, and some new ones have come along.

Most of the time, I rely on you, the agents, to help keep my list current and up-to-date. The last update I did was a few months ago and I’m sure it already needs updating! So if you have received my list and you find that I need to update it, please let me know. I do take pride in providing this list free of charge.

How I compiled my list

Almost all of the companies and links on my BPO company list were compiled through internet searches. I feel like I have a knack for finding information online that most people can’t find. Some of the information I find through simple google or yahoo searches, and some of it I found through forums and other similar websites. If you start bouncing around from page-to-page, you’ll start learning new search terms you should look for and that’s what generally happens to me. If my first search was for “bpo jobs in Rochester NY”, I may bounce around different websites until I find a website that says the best BPO company in this area is John Jones Asset Management then I might do a new search for “John Jones bpo signup”…and that search may lead me somewhere else. It almost feels like a treasure hunt sometimes.

Once I have found the information, I add it to the list I’m compiling. If I receive feedback that a company is no longer in business, I remove them from my list.

Over the months (and years), this fluid list has proven to be a great tool for many new agents. Some people are selling this same information elsewhere on the internet and I feel that you don’t need to pay for it – spend your money on something else worthwhile (get a dinner for your significant other, that’s definitely more important than a silly BPO list).

Thanks for your support and readership, keep letting me know how I can improve!
