Example
For me, customer service is about making connections through effective communication. There’s no one-size-fits-all. Every customer is unique, and I find it incredibly rewarding when an issue is resolved in a way that makes them feel valued and understood. It’s not always easy, but it’s my responsibility to ensure every customer is heard, and even the most challenging of situations handled to the best of my ability.
