- Dual‑monitor setup is recommended for efficient multitasking.
- Headset with noise‑cancelling microphone that meets industry quality standards.

- Performance‑based bonuses for meeting or exceeding quality and volume metrics.
- Referral incentives for bringing qualified contractors into the arenaflex community.
