Take incoming calls to assist stores with daily issues regarding orders/deliveries. Provide exceptional customer service to our member stores and the employees who represent those stores. I would operate three (3) different software programs to do my job. Every program is specific to AWG, all used to do a different, specific task (credit, order entry, financial). My member stores would call me to receive assistance with everything AWG related (product questions, delivery issues/schedules, credits, etc…). I would investigate and communicate issues to management (the appropriate Department Mgr, Warehouse, Transportation). While AWG has a computer program that the Grocers can use to request credit, a large portion of our over 300 member stores would still call me when they need assistance. That provided me the opportunity to sell and cross sell other products. I logged well over 100 calls per day.*While I list that my employment began in September, I worked from September - November thru a Temporary Agency, as AWG does with all new hire positions - probation is worked through the Temp Service.
