Requirements

The Cancellations & Retentions Agent will be required to prevent customers who want to cancel and actively retain customers who have already cancelled their service.

Our Agent X needs to be an expert at negotiation, have excellent problem-solving abilities, and have strong customer service expertise.

Our Superstar will need excellent communication skills with the ability to be effective at conflict resolution and always put their customer first.

It's a fast-paced, exciting, and result-driven environment.

Do you think you've got what it takes?

A unique interface will allow the agent to see customers who have clicked the ‘cancelled’ button and, in turn, create an opportunity to retain the customer.

The interface will include:

• Customer Contact Details
• Age of cancellation in days

The mandate will be to attend to these customers as quickly as possible, as the success of retaining customers relies on us addressing any issues and correcting them expeditiously.

The agent will be required to perform in a fast-paced, result-driven environment, meeting their targets on a monthly basis.

Being able to propose solutions and negotiate with customers will be a key driver in the success of this role.
