Customer Relations Fleet Support Manager, This role was an after-sales position and consisted of dealing with complex cases from point of contact until case closure. The majority of cases would not reach a resolution quickly and required an in-depth level of investigation involving contact with national leasing companies, small commercial business, dealership general and service managers and the vehicle end users. It would not be uncommon to have anywhere between 70-120 active cases at any one time (The department received 40,000 complaints last year). Nissan Fleet relationships are imperative to the business, as such delivering the correct outcome with an appropriate rationale behind each decision protects these relationships and the image of the brand. Unfortunately, not all cases will reach the satisfactory outcome which the contacting party originally wished for, however, a clear outcome displaying investigation and rationale will give merit and overall prove to be less detrimental to the brand image. The customer journey is of paramount importance, as a negative experience could lead to a diminished brand image. With such a large volume of cases my organisation and communication skills along with my natural ability to build rapport and displaying empathy ensured I was able to deliver an extremely high level of service. The ability to deliver these high standards were evidenced in Nissans Key Performance (KPI’s), obtaining the highest in the Fleet Support Team and the department for the entire calendar year of 2019.showing an ability to not only meet expectations but to exceed them something which was highlighted by the management team and evidenced in annual appraisal.
