### B2B

Short for Business-to-Business. This describes business models in which a company primarily or exclusively sells products or services to other businesses rather than private individuals.

A typical example is a manufacturing company whose products are sold only to other businesses.

 

### B2C

Short for **Business-to-Consumer**. This refers to business models in which a company primarily or exclusively sells products or services directly to private consumers.

A typical example is a retail supermarket.

 

 

### Billing Address

The address from which a business or individual issues invoices.

Your billing address may differ from your work address.

**Important:** The country of your billing address cannot be changed afterward. If you need to change the billing country, you must create a new account.

 

 

### Customer Service / Customer Care

Activities aimed at assisting customers before, during, or after the purchase of a product or service.

One important outcome of good customer service is customer satisfaction.

 

### Dashboard

A dashboard is a user interface that brings together the most important information and controls related to a task.

After completing onboarding and signing in to yoummday, you will access the **Talent Dashboard**, where you can manage projects, telephony, and your finances.

 

### [Gross Amount](https://helpdesk.yoummday.com/en/knowledge/glossary-/-abbreviations#Brutto)

 A gross amount is the amount **before any applicable deductions** are made. In many countries, retail prices already include VAT and are therefore displayed as gross prices. 

 

### Identity Check

A compliance check of your identity, ID document and billing address. You can complete the Identity Check after your Workspace Check. 

 

### Inbound

Means **incoming**.

Inbound refers to telephone work where **customers initiate the call** rather than being actively contacted.

A classic example is a customer service hotline.

 

### Incentive

An incentive is a bonus or reward system designed to encourage and recognize strong performance within a project.

Not every project offers incentive programs.

 

### Lead

A lead is a potential sales opportunity.

In sales environments, leads may include inquiries submitted by prospective customers through a website or other channels.

 

### Microsoft Teams

A communication and collaboration platform that allows users to chat, make calls, hold meetings, and share information.

Some clients use Microsoft Teams for day-to-day communication or project updates.

 

### Net Amount

Derived from the Italian word *netto* ("pure" or "unmixed").

A net amount is the value **before taxes or VAT are added**.

 

### Operations Manager (OM):

An Operations Manager is a person who oversees operational processes within a project on behalf of a client.

 

### Outbound

Means **outgoing**.

Outbound refers to telephone work where **customers are contacted by agents**, rather than calling themselves.

A common example is lead-based sales, where interested customers submit inquiries and are then contacted by sales representatives.

 

 

### Payout

Refers to the fee or remuneration you receive from a client for services provided.

In telephony projects, payouts are often calculated based on seconds, minutes, or hours worked. In written-content projects, compensation may be paid as a fixed amount per completed and approved task.

During the negotiation phase, you should discuss the applicable payout model directly with the client.

 

### Sales

Refers to all business activities related to selling goods or services.

Examples include introductory sales calls, consultations, and commercial negotiations.

 

### Slack

Slack is a communication platform used by some projects for collaboration, internal communication, and announcements.

 

### Softphone

A software-based telephone application that supports the SIP protocol.

You may choose to use a Softphone instead of the yoummday Webphone if desired.

 

### Talent

The term used by yoummday to refer to freelancers on the platform.

Why not simply call everyone freelancers? Because we appreciate that you bring your talents and expertise to our clients.

### Talent Coordinator

A Talent Coordinator is usually the subject-matter contact person working on behalf of a client.

They often provide professional guidance and project-related support.

 

### Talent Support

The Talent Support team is a dedicated department at yoummday that assists freelancers with questions and platform-related issues.

You can contact Talent Support via:

https://talent.yoummday.com/supportchat

 

### Ticket

A ticket is a support request submitted through the help function or support chat.

When you submit a request, the entire communication and documentation of your issue is recorded as a ticket.

 

### VAT ID (VAT Identification Number)

A tax identification number used by businesses within the European Union for VAT purposes.

Most talents with a business address within the EU require a VAT ID.

**Important:** A VAT ID is not the same as a domestic tax number.

 

### Verification Manager

A member of the onboarding team who reviews your documents and verifies that all required information is available before you begin using the platform.

 

### VPN

Short for **Virtual Private Network**.

A VPN enables secure access to systems and resources through an intermediary network connection.

Some clients require VPN access to securely connect to their internal systems.

 

### Webphone

The Webphone is yoummday's proprietary telephony solution.

It allows you to answer incoming customer calls and, where applicable, initiate calls to customers directly through the platform.

The Webphone is available from every page of your Talent Dashboard and can be found in the top center area of the screen.

### Work Address

Refers to the location from which you perform your work. As a freelancer, you decide where you provide your services. You may store multiple work addresses in your Talent account. Your work address may differ from your billing address, but it does not have to.

 

### Workspace Check

The Workspace check appointment is an initial meeting in which you and a Verification Manager check your workspace, your working address coordinates and give you a first introduction into the platform.

Completing the Workspace Check is one of the requirements before you get full access to the platform.

 

 

### Worktype

Refers to the type of project being offered.

Examples include:

- **Outbound Sales** (sales projects where customers are contacted)
- **Inbound Customer Service** (service projects where customers call in)

At yoummday, when we talk about a “work type,” we always mean the assignment/contract you accept within a project/client.

 

### yoummday (ymmd)

A shortened form of **"you made my day"**, pronounced *"yoom-day."*

That's us, and we're happy to have you with us. 😊
