I had to listen to Calls with negative feedbacks from customers and review these calls to provide coaching to agents if needed. 2015 - 2016 Moved to escalations Team. Raised / actioned orders that have been delayed, actioned incorrectly or part of a complaint. 2017 - 2023 Moved into standard Provisioning for mainly Copper services for Coporate Businesses. On the side i assist with Rostering and systems accesses for my Center and offshore Groups. I amend schedules, create the rosters and provide, remove and Modify systems accesses for agents.
