About

I am a Customer Service Sales Representative with over 20 years of frontline service experience focused on improving customer retention and resolving escalations quickly. Most recently, I have worked as a Telephone Survey Interviewer at Logit Group since 2021, building on a long history of managing complex customer accounts and daily queue metrics. My work spans CRM software, data analysis, and conflict resolution, which I have applied to reduce delays and maintain clear communication and empathy with customers. I have handled escalated calls, negotiated commercial installation schedules, and conducted structured telephone interviews while maintaining standardized procedures and accurate case tracking.

What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a position where I can fully utilize my strengths while continuing to grow professionally. I’m highly detail‑oriented, customer‑focused, and skilled at navigating challenging or unpleasant customer interactions with patience and empathy. I’m always willing to learn new skills that support the role and the team’s success. I’m open to both full‑time and contract opportunities, though I would especially welcome a full‑time position where I can contribute consistently and long‑term.
