A customer service representative, or CSR, will act as a liaison, provide product/services information and resolve any emerging problems that our client accounts might face with accuracy and efficiency.
The best CSRs are genuinely excited to help customers. They’re patient, empathetic, and passionately communicative. They love to talk. Customer service representatives can put themselves in their customers’ shoes and advocate for them when necessary. Customer feedback is priceless, and these CSRs gather that for us.
