  • Betfred
    Retail Customer Service Advisor
    Betfred Sep 2014 - Mar 2016
    Warrington, United Kingdom
    Before I was appointed my current role by the Retail Customer Service team, I was asked by the Customer Service Manager to assist the team due to staffing levels. I was then asked to join the team on a permanent basis due to my variety of skills, knowledge and experience that I had gained from my original position. Being on the retail side of customer service, I am in my element as I have previously worked in retail but I now use that experience along with the knowledge gained since working for Betfred regarding betting terms and rules, to give an efficient and professional service to every customer. My position and hard work was then rewarded two months into my new job by receiving ‘Employee of the Month’ for November 2014. As I grew in my new role, my knowledge of the business and industry expanded and so did my responsibilities which involved assisting the Duty Managers and Customer Service Manager directly, proving I could be trusted with tasks at a management level. I have also been issued with a training role, similar to my coaching role when I was a member of the Digital Customer Service team, where I would train new members of staff the important procedures and software needed to provide a professional and effective service to our customers. Providing thorough training and interactivity during the training process was key, allowing the trainee to gain important knowledge and confidence within the job role swiftly. Being trusted with the task of training new staff allows members both new and current to approach me more often with queries that I can assist in solving promptly and provide the required information at a level of quality. Being in my new role has helped me become a more mature and skilled person as part of a strong, proficient team where I can share my knowledge and acquired skills with the team on a daily basis. I have also started using my IT skills to provide customers with letters and account statements by using my abilities in Word and Excel.
  • Betfred
    Digital Customer Service Representative
    Betfred Aug 2013 - Sep 2014
    Warrington, United Kingdom
    Since leaving Tesco for Betfred I have very much enjoyed my time at my current job in Customer Services. I transferred my customer service skills from Tesco in regards to face to face customer service and amended my skills into working in my first office environment. Since being at Betfred, I have put my head down and gone out of my way to help the team get a good reputation. The team is like family and there are no individuals as we all stick at it together which makes me stronger, being a great team member. Since my short time at Betfred I have been made into a team coach, allowing me to use my skills as a fast learner to assist the team with queries. Since being a team coach, I have travelled out to Gibraltar to learn the casino side of Betfred as at first, we were only the Sports online Customer Service Team. I have been assisting management and team since being made a team coach always asking if any assistance would be needed. I have further used my IT skills being at Betfred using a wide variety of systems and shortcuts on programs to help my work become very efficient.
