Dear orex123,
Thank you for posting
I wish to submit my application as chat sales customer support agent.
In reference to your first question:
1)In both cases it is considered rude to make requests using "can".
For example; One should say " May I please have your name and mobile number?" rather than " Can I please have your name and number" as "can" is considered informal.
2) Both type of agents should be polite meaning they should never make request or ask something without using "please".
3) In both cases the agent should under no circumstances say "I already answered that question" or "That question has already been answered above" or " Please see the answer to your question above"; customers tend to be overwhelmed by the information provided on websites and chat agents have to ensure that customers questions are being accurately answered so the customer can understand.
4)A chat agent should avoid making too direct suggestions, therefore favoring " I would recommend", " That would be the best option in your case" rather that "You need this product" or " That product is for you"
5)Let's face it, customers are sometimes wrong (usually in cases of providing an incorrect email/billing address or the order has been delivered but he says he did not receive it) but this should never be voiced out ( typed out in this case), the agent should apologize tell the customer he would look into it, then confirm the information that is available in the database and finally reassure the customer that we will look in to this issue on our end and get back to customer with the response asap. To conclude the agent should apologize once again.
In reference to your second question on how willing I am to get the sales position:
1) I am willing to begin immediately, today itself, despite the fact that today is New Years Eve.
2)I am willing to work on Saturdays and Sundays ( Monday to Sunday)
3)I shall thoroughly research and learn the products and services your business offers as well as the online tools asap.
4)I shall always remain with the customer until the end of the conversation even if the conversation has been going on for two hours
5)I can work overtime when necessary
Thank you for taking the time to read my bid details. For more information about myself please see my private message as well as my resume and portfolio.
I look forward to hearing from you soon,
