I successfully managed internet provisioning for dedicated business customers and increased departmental efficiency through creation and implementation of processes that streamlined production. Specifically, I implemented a report using a system data feed to outline what an agent was missing on an order, allowing correction and improved efficiency. I'm also expert at handling escalations for sensitive and high-profile customers and caused a 70% prevention of customer cancellations on high level escalations. I am also versed with computer operating systems and applications including MS Office, Outlook, Mac OSX, and Windows 95, 98, ME, NT, 200 and XP.

I am experienced in providing technical support to field technicians, ISPs and end users. I have technical expertise with DSL software, hardware and networking. My leadership abilities also came through in my role as Team Lead for two and a half years, where I assisted 120+ agents to improve skill, quality and efficiency and to resolve technical issues. I'm also very highly skilled at creating training manuals and courses for both new hires and seasoned agents. I can develop and implement new technical processes to increase agent efficiency in resolving customer issues, and my doing this resulted in a decrease in repeat customer call-back rate from 25% to less than 10%. I also successfully handled dissatisfied customers daily to the end of increased client satisfaction and retention over a three year period.
