Customer ServiceFull-time

About the role

Want to use your customer service skills to solve real world problems? Want to free up your weekends & evenings and instead work Monday through Friday? Want to do all of this while getting paid a competitive base salary PLUS have incentive opportunities? How about all of the above AND benefits, paid time off and even tuition reimbursement?

Responsibilities

You will provide our customers with expert assistance to a wide variety of questions and problems. Unlike most CSR roles, you will build ongoing business relationships with our customers through repeated contact and consultation. As this is a service and parts center, our ability to win and retain customers' business often depends on your ability to quickly and efficiently provide them with just the right parts and/or solutions – especially when customers are experiencing costly equipment breakdowns.

You will also, on occasion, have the ability to utilize your mechanical aptitude to help solve customer problems or troublesome processes.

Just some of the things you’ll be doing on a daily basis:

  • Assist customers by phone and in person at our facility
  • Use your customer service skills and talents to clarify their needs, do research, and (after you get up to speed) recommend parts
  • Be focused and driven to meet / exceed monthly sales goals while increasing customer satisfaction
  • Process quotes, take orders and provide post-order service

Requirements

Our Customer Service Representatives are self-motivated and driven by a desire to exceed expectations. They have strong prioritization and multitasking skill, a sense of urgency, and take pride in their verbal and written communication. Interpersonal skills and the ability to establish rapport and build solid relationships with a wide variety of customers are critical.
