Contact Center Agent
About
I’m a service -driven professional with a strong background in telecommunications at Telkom Sa, Business banker at FNB where I spent 10 years in my previous role as a primary point of contact for business clients. My objective has always been about combining strategic problem solving, prioritizing customer retention and brand loyalty whilst maintain a resilient positive attitude. I have worked other systems like Microsoft, Emailing, Ticketing systems, CRM dynamics systems to ensure all customer interactions are professional, accurate, and properly documented.
I am motivated by continuous learning and growth hence I appreciate roles that push me to new development and take on more increased responsibilities. I value flexibility in how work gets done, whether being it remote option requiring either EST, UK or US working hours and I’m comfortable with remote communication tools. I thrive in a fast-paced environment that requires prioritizing and multitasking abilities, high speed processing, problem solving, cross selling, emotional intelligence accuracy and strict attention to detail.
