Consumer Retention Specialist

About the Role:

The Kinetic Consumer Retention Specialist is a work from home position that handles interactions with Kinetic customers that are entertaining the thought of disconnecting their services. The role is primarily responsible for saving, both reactively and proactively, every customer from disconnecting their service. This is achieved by offering special retention offers, troubleshooting repair issues, which includes inputting repair tickets, offering faster internet speeds, and other add on services that may help retain the customer. A key goal with every interaction in this position is that whether the customer is saved from disconnecting or not, is for each conversation with a customer to be the last one that the customer must have with us before their initial inquiry is 100% resolved.

Our Kinetic Consumer Retention Specialists are expected to resolve the customers’ need for calling on each call, by educating, explaining, and saving our products and services while achieving low repeat caller statistics, with high customer satisfaction and last call resolution results. The Consumer Retention Specialist position has the opportunity to earn an additional monthly bonus in the form of commissions. ***This position is being filled remotely with preference in North Carolina, Georgia and Iowa***
