Skills to be available in customer service officer
Companies have developed their own call centers to meet the needs of customers who prefer to use email, instant messaging or social media over phone calls. This means that the job description of call center agents includes knowledge of many platforms and communication skills more than ever before
Agents have to expand their verbal communication skills, which were of paramount importance when call centers dominated phone calls. They should also focus on writing and understanding skills for email, chat, social media, and develop their language skills and visual skills for video chat
The most common job skills in the customer service function:
Many of the job skills in the customer service function are the same as they have been in previous years. The difference now is that customers expect immediate responses across any communication channel of their choice, and call center managers — or Col Center — need staff who can meet these expectations.
Nine key job skills required for customer service employee to reach success
Communication skills
A customer service officer should be flexible to work with people they don't know, understand their problems — and whether the agent can deal with these people or not — and help solve this problem.
Outstanding communication skills across different areas of communication
The Col Center employee now communicates with customers across a variety of communication channels, including phone, chat and video. Each of these channels requires different types of communication skills by finding the skill of listening and speaking. It is not necessary for the customer service officer to excel in communication in all these channels, but it is important that the agent develop the skills necessary for the channels he will support
Polite professional behavior
Customers who connect to The Call Centre may be frustrated and angry, depending on the problem they are trying to solve. The customer service officer must be understanding the customer's feelings, always have polite behavior and show sympathy and patience during a conversation with customers, regardless of the means of communication.
Excellence in problem solving skills
Customers often call the call center and have complex issues that are difficult to explain. The Col Center employee should listen to the client, identify the underlying issue and identify solutions that serve both the client and the organization.
The ability to learn and retain large amounts of information during training
During training, agents must learn a huge amount of information about products, services, policies and procedures. Customers also need the ability to keep a good portion of this information, in cases where they don't have an answer, and understand how to navigate through a number of systems to find an answer to the customer's problem
The ability to accept and achieve quantitative targets (Tarjit)
The call center environment is very restrictive, so many metrics are essential to the performance management process. Agents often have quantitative objectives, and are measured and rewarded on a number of key items, such as quality control results, average handling time, attendance, occupancy, etc. Employees must be willing to work in an environment where most of their activities are monitored, tracked and reported
The ability to work in a highly organized environment
The call center environment is very structured so agents must adhere to strict schedules, monitor them on an ongoing basis, deal with a large volume of transactions, and follow detailed attendance and attendance policies.
Flexibility
Organizations are constantly changing, offering new products, services and features to attract new customers and retain existing customers. In most cases, agents are notified of changes in a timely manner, but there are many times when a customer knows about a change before a customer service officer does. The customer service officer must be flexible to accept this ever-changing environment so that they do not fall under pressure when an unexpected change occurs.
The ability to work independently and find answers
Although agents work on teams at The Col Center, their interactions with customers are directly from person to person. Agents should be comfortable working independently - i.e. on their own - and have confidence that if they can't solve the customer problem immediately, they know how to find a solution
