My key responsibilities included coordinating the schedule for all technicians daily, and managing customer accounts, including billing/collections, all through ServSuite software. I utilized my professional customer service skills handling multiple phone lines; provided full customer support; & assisted the office manager with many other administrative tasks daily.Due to internal errors within the company's organizational status, etc, my position became available to me & new management/technicians were hired, as well. This position required long hours of learning how to utilize the ServSuite program features, but challenging, as well, because I had to identify data entry errors and make corrections along the way. Scheduling was the most challenging. Once everything was updated in the system, we began new marketing strategies, which made things easier and more efficient!
