Member Care Agent - Owosso - ref. x62941219

Overview:

Excellent Customer Service is a pillar of Covenant Eyes’ strategy—we take serving and helping others seriously. Member Care Agents are the voice of the company to our members and the members’ voice to the company.

Member Care Agents communicate with members via several media: phone, chat, email, and help forums. They also deliver value to members in many ways including helping them sign up, educating them about our services and resources, technical troubleshooting, fine tuning the member’s account to meet their needs, and sometimes being a source of hope and emotional support.

Members rarely call simply to tell us how great things are. Hearing members’ frustrations can take its toll, so a Member Care Agent must be optimistic, emotionally resilient, and quick to adopt a posture of service. Empathy, friendliness, and a sense of urgency are at the core of the Member Care team.

We are a fast-paced group who works hard but likes to have fun while doing it.

Responsibilities:

• Communicate effectively and efficiently with customers in assigned medium/media (email, chat, phone, help forum). Listen carefully to discern customer needs, then efficiently and correctly execute the tasks to fulfill the customer’s needs.
• Document each customer contact thoroughly in our ticketing system and report software or service defects/feature requests in our bug tracking tool. The substance of each contact with customers should be clearly documented immediately following the contact so others can follow up as needed.

Real collaboration requires humility to be taught by another and generosity to share what you’ve learned. Each Member Care Agent should be learning from and aiding colleagues daily.
