Hello, my name is Pablo Rosales and I live in Nicaragua. I am very organized and detail oriented. I am also very patient when it comes to dealing with customers over the phone. The following are the answers to your questions: (1) I have had many Customer Service jobs. The last one was working for a company called Neverrest who offered services for Clearworld Communications. I would call the customers all over the USA offering a rate reduction in their monthly phone bills. (2) Availability tuesday - friday 1:00 pm - 8:00 pm. (3) I would recomend the customer to come into the store with the faulty product and to bring the receipt with him or her. But first have to check if there is a company's policy for defaulted products.

Hi, I am interested. I am based in India. I am working virtually since long. I have a very good experience of customer service (web based - i.e. through emails). I had worked for UK online store holding client for over 3 years and after that with US based client for email support service. The US clients have option for refund so I known to about refund process. I had worked with store selling IT and communications related products. I had read the requirements, and I feel I will able to do it perfectly. I am available on Tuesdays to Friday for any time you required. Actually I mostly work in a long term working relation and I am looking for job. I am ok with any timezone. Just let me know the best time you need me to work in with your time zone. => How you would respond to a customer that is requesting a refund due to a faulty product? Ans : First I will look for the reason why client is requesting the refund. In case of faulty product, if our policy allows then 1st option will be to replace the product. Otherwise, 2nd if he is interested in changing to any other product with same price. Usually the reasons for refund are almost same and hardly people comes up without any reason to get money back. So, it is possible, offering some options can prevent the refund. Please let me know your advice. Regards, Jay

Hi there, I have worked as a virtual assistant/customer service representative in a BPO/call center setting for a few years now. My latest job is email support/booking agent for rental apartments and I deal with lots of email inquiries and customer complaints every day. I'm very used to answering emails from customers. I find that I'm the kind of person who excels more in writing as I'm able to articulate myself better that way. Apart from that, I'm also a consumer/customer myself. I've done a lot of shopping online and I know what customers expect and deserve. As a customer, I expect excellent service and if I ever have problems with a certain product or order, I want to be dealt with in a pleasant and helpful manner. In the same way, I want to give that kind of service to others. How would I respond to a customer that is requesting a refund due to a faulty product? First of all, I would apologize for the inconvenience they were caused and then depending on company policy, I would decide a course of action (either replacement of goods or full refund). Furthermore, I love sporting goods. Although I'm not really a very sporty type of girl, I'm very interested in sports. I would love to learn more by handling customer service duties related to this specific type of product. I am available Tuesday through Friday for approximately 2-3 hours per day. I'm smart and I enjoy what I'm doing. Hope you'll give me a chance to prove myself and help you out. Thanks for your time! :)

Hello, I have handled many customer complaints in call center in both convergys and couple call centers in U.S. so I can handle 3-4 hours per day 12 hrs per week. Can you tell me exactly more details? I am american native staying here in manila residing in LAS PINAS so i go to Alabang everyday and can even meet you to discuss if you live close. I can create tickets and solve issues per customer just need to study all the policies for each company you are doing customer service for. IF dealing with a customer wanting refund due to faulty product would first consult with company create a ticket so they can further discuss and possibly fix the refund request.

Good Morning Sir, I would like to thank your for the opportunity to bid for your project. I have 12 years of U.S. Defense Contracting experience where during that time, I worked as an Item Manager for the U.S. Army. My responsibilities included; researching products, finding manufactures that could meet the delivery demand, purchasing and liaison for shortages/discrepancies of inbound orders. I do not have any experience with retail, however, I am a hard worker who is committed to learning. I am available to work Tuesday-Friday as required. Again, thank you in advance for any consideration as I look forward to working with you. Customer Service Question: How would I respond to a customer that is requesting a refund due to a faulty product? Answer: First I would apologize on behalf of the company for them receiving the faulted equipment. Next, ensure them of resolving the issue during the call. Then, I would ask the customer a few questions about the order to better assist them. Afterwards, I would ask if it would be possible for our company to regain their trust by replacing the faulty item rather than refunding their money. If they agree, I would process the order to replace, at no additional cost to the customer, the item. In completing the customer's request, I would also send them postage-paid shipping equipment for the return of the faulty item. And Lastly, I would apologize again and thank them for shopping with us!
