- Take and manage phone calls from residential and commercial customers for multiple kinds of scenarios. This includes billing problems, from determining customer concerns with price increases or inconsistencies to promotional inquiries that may involve the Sales Department, as well as technical problems with the older “legacy” Scientific Atlanta and Samsung cable boxes, Arris (and other customer owned) telephony and internet-only modems, and the new Altice One system, which is an all-in-one TV/Phone/Internet/Wifi solution offered by Altice
- Good customer service skills lead to a reduction in the repeat-call rate and customer retention by easing customer concerns, answering questions truthfully and accurately, and being able to accurately diagnose, troubleshoot and resolve multiple customer problems through any means allowed to the representative, both with the proprietary tools utilized on the system, personal knowledge or scheduling field technician visits as needed.
- When an irate customer would call in, patience, and customer service skills aided in empathizing with the customer and de-escalating the problem into something manageable.
- Elderly and less technically-savvy customers were able to understand many of the new features and procedures to use their service through thorough explanations and detailed examples and metaphors to get a point across
- When needed, calls were directed to sales, business class advanced (business-only tech support, dealing with certain types of access points and other things such as Static IP Addresses).
