Wanted: Answering Service Customer Service Specialist

**Not a sales position**

Home based independent contractor wanted to handle Customer Service for fast growing marketing company providing Attorney Answering Service (“AAS”) services.

OPPORTUNITY:

Provide personalized, phone & email-based customer service for our clients located throughout the US. Our clients are all attorneys and they avail our “AAS” (where we essentially take over their phones).

On an ongoing basis, you will need to:

  • On-board New clients from start to finish, aid them in getting set up for their service, and work with the client and our technical team to ensure a seamless transition
  • Identify any areas of the service that need to be fixed or improved
  • Act as the liaison between the technical department and the attorney customer for tech and services related issues
  • Detect any trends and patterns you are noticing for troubleshooting issues, common customer complaints and pain points, etc. (this is a new service and we will be relying a lot on you, the CSR, to detect and relay this critical data to us)
  • Attend weekly meetings with the “AAS” team to discuss updates, problems, and ideas pertaining to the service

PAY:

The starting pay is $18 per hour, paid each week through ACH deposit. At 60 days, your performance will be reviewed. If you pass the review, you will be raised to $19 per hour. After 90 days you will have another review, in which you will be raised to $20 per hour.

Does this describe you?

  • You have had a great track record of success and want to be recognized for your contributions.
  • You want to be part of a high-energy, fast-growing team that provides quality products and services people actually want.
  • You are a hard worker and are willing to put in the time, effort and energy it takes to make your projects a success.
  • You are coachable, willing to learn and want to grow in your position, as well as taking direction with a positive attitude.
  • You bring ideas to the table. You not only follow plans currently in place, but can provide new ideas and outlook.
  • You are disciplined enough to work out of your own home. It can be challenging to work from home…so much freedom, so many distractions but you are self-disciplined enough to do so successfully.

If you think you are this type of person, we are looking for you.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

  • Onboard new clients (Intake Process)

  • Aid clients in key set-up instructions (such as transferring their phone lines over to our service, setting up an online calendar so our reps can book appointments for them)
  • Forward any support requests / complaints / items needing attention so our support team can resolve these as quickly as possible
  • For clients that are difficult to get in contact with, use a series of voicemails and emails to maximize the chances that the client will engage in a monthly overview call
  • Be the primary account manager for customers
  • Quickly report any problems with any service when detected
  • Develop and maintain strong relationships with clients to ensure continued customer loyalty
  • Be on the lookout for ways to improve our products and services
  • Answer and return client phone inquiries
  • Look for ways to improve client retention
  • Identify trends in customer satisfaction or dissatisfaction
  • Perform other duties as assigned

  • Nights and weekends are not required nor anticipated.
  • Being reasonably “tech savvy” is a must
  • Must have passionate and personal voice
  • Must be a great communicator both written and verbal
  • A highly results oriented, articulate, decisive, self-starter who energizes people around him/her.
