Customer Support Representative at Autobooks in Detroit, MI

The Role: Customer Support Representative

You will provide Small Business customers and Financial Institution employees with support via inbound phone, chat, and e-mail. They look to you as their consultant and subject matter expert. You are very good at deep-dive troubleshooting (and enjoy it) while also relishing the ‘people side’: building relationships, representing our brand as our CEO would, and delivering outstanding customer service.

Having traits of a ‘techie’, ‘detective’, ‘investigator’, ‘teacher’, or ‘counselor’ will serve you well in critically thinking to identify and solve problems and gain callers’ trust.

You genuinely love and/or enjoy talking with people - not simply tolerate them for the job. This includes whether they are thrilled or flustered. You can ask the right probing questions and take pride in meaningful one-on-one conversations, going beyond the transactional. You assist callers with questions about our product and processes. It is important that you can connect with a wide and varied range of small business owners in all industries and bank/credit union staff members from Teller to VP.
