Do you want to know more?
To work in customer service
Working in customer service usually means that you answer existing customers’ requests for help via telephone and e-mail. It can also include helping customers via chat on a website or via various types of social media. The most common cases that are handled via a customer service are invoice questions, contract questions, advice, questions about price and promotions, customers who want to buy a product or change their subscription and customers who want to end their subscription.
A customer service employee, depending on the company he represents, can also handle administrative tasks, such as taking care of bookings for customers, creating support cases, talking to craftsmen and technicians, troubleshooting different types of systems remotely, filling out order forms and sending out invoices and contracts.
Talking to a customer service agent is often the customer’s only contact with a company. Therefore it is especially important that this contact feels personal and genuine, and that the employee has the knowledge and resources required to help the customer. As a customer service employee, you can be directly employed by the company you represent. This is sometimes called working “in-house”. Alternatively, you can be employed through a partner company that handles customer service on behalf of another company.
What does a working day look like?
Most companies in customer service work during office hours, that is, usually from 08:00 or 09:00 and until 17:00 or 18:00 in the evening. For some customers, evening hours may also be required, as customers tend to call more after working hours. The days usually start with a team leader reviewing the day’s estimated call volume and set targets for key figures. This is followed by 3-4 work shifts with varying amounts of incoming calls. Depending on the customer and on what is happening in the world, as well as whether you have current campaigns running at the moment, the amount of calls can increase or decrease.
What is it like to work with customer service?
Working with customer service is mostly a pleasant profession where you get to act as a problem solver for customers and assist them using various smart methods. It is both rewarding and developing to make a customer happy. The work is based on important skills such as problem-solving skills and social skills. When you don’t know the answer to a question or manage to solve a matter immediately, you can turn to a database where you can easily search for the customer’s questions. You learn to communicate with different types of people, young and old, and with different backgrounds.
It’s no secret that some people find it a challenge to deal with dissatisfied or angry customers, but such situations are also among the most developing parts of the work. Those matters may not be the most fun, but they actually happen less often than you might think. Learning that particular skill is undoubtedly invaluable knowledge. Being able to deal with an angry and dissatisfied person in a smooth and methodical way, manage to calm down the situation and make the person concerned happy, is a good skill to have at hand in all possible contexts in life. In most cases, you work in a team where you always have the opportunity to consult a colleague or your closest team leader. In addition, you receive ongoing coaching and training to become better at customer management regarding the products or the service that the company represents, conversation methodology, word choice and word order, and sales.
The wage trend in the industry
Through solid work with influence from both the state side as well as from various independent and trade union organizations, wage conditions have improved on average. What is now almost industry standard is:
- Higher basic salary and minimum according to collective agreement
- Pension compensation and benefits such as health care allowance
- Possibility to influence one’s salary through sales
