A call center business has a employment contract to work on behalf of a company, or organization. They can receive incoming telephone calls, usually of a customer service nature, answering customer inquiries, making reservations, or completing sales orders, or they can make outgoing telephone calls, for the purpose of promoting an interest of the employing company. The call center may represent several clients at a time, representing several different projects, or they may be completely dedicated to only one.

The call center can be paid in several ways. In some instances, political organizations pay to have potential voters contacted regarding certain candidates. Some organizations want telephone surveys completed for research purposes and will pay a set amount for every call handled. Fundraisers ask for donations on behalf of charitable organizations. A portion of money raised may pay the expenses of the call center business.

The most common type of phone call a call center handles are customer service, promotion, and/or sales related in nature. They can be paid a set amount per call, or they may be required to complete a certain number of calls within a certain amount of time, maintaining certain quality assurance rules, and achieving certain sales goals.

The call center business has expenses such as paying their employees, overhead, equipment expenses, to name a few. Employee turnover can be high, and margin can be low. It is easy for a call center to not make a profit if it doesn't manage it's costs carefully.

Some companies maintain a call center that is a part of their overall business. In these instances, the call center workers are considered employees of the larger company and it is not a separate business.
