**About arenaflex**
arenaflex is a dynamic and innovative company that's revolutionizing the way people shop for home goods and furniture. With a wide range of products and a commitment to customer satisfaction, we're the go-to destination for customers looking for a hassle-free shopping experience. Our team is dedicated to providing exceptional customer service, and we're looking for like-minded individuals to join our ranks.
**The Role**
As a Customer Service Associate at arenaflex, you'll be the voice of our company, providing a best-in-class experience to our customers. You'll be responsible for handling a high volume of customer inquiries, resolving issues, and providing solutions that meet our customers' needs. This is a fast-paced environment that requires strong communication skills, empathy, and a passion for helping others.
**Key Responsibilities**
* Demonstrate Reliability: Attendance and commitment to being present and on time for your full shift each day is crucial. This helps ensure we're ready and available to help our customers when they need us most. For unexpected events or issues, we require our associates to be proactive in their communication and planning whenever possible.
* Handle a High Volume of Contacts: You will handle an estimated 50-60 phone calls per shift. This is a fast-paced environment and highly structured. There is little downtime in this position as you are typically on back-to-back calls during your shift.
* Meet Our High Performance Bar: You'll work to exceed customer satisfaction, excel in meeting customer service efficiency metrics, and other responsibilities as assigned.
* Engage Customers: You'll need a passion for people. You'll be the voice of arenaflex and work to build a relationship with customers who contact us by inbound phone call, chats, and emails. Topics can range from returns, replacements, delivery, product availability, order status, and more.
* Listen Actively and Show Empathy: You will actively listen to understand customer concerns and leverage internal resources to find the best solution to thoroughly address their problem.
* De-Escalate Customer Concerns: Most customers contact us because they've had a problem and need your help. You will use your conflict management skills to balance the needs of the customer with the options from the business while always maintaining a professional composure.
* Problem Solve: Solutions aren't a one-size-fits-all approach so customer service associates do not read from pre-populated scripts. You will be given a level of autonomy to help customers find the right solution. You'll need to think analytically to solve customer problems in a first contact resolution approach.
* Multitask: You'll need to juggle navigating multiple browsers, tabs, tools, and screens in order to quickly and effectively answer questions. The ideal customer service representative will be familiar with computers and can effectively navigate technology on a daily basis.
