• Actively listen and ask questions to understand customer needs, showing empathy and respect.
• Handle a variety of customer-facing duties, including:
○ Addressing requests to disconnect or remove services
○ Providing billing and pricing information
○ Resolving standard issues remotely or educating customers on resolution steps
○ Scheduling service appointments when remote resolution isn't possible
○ Arranging product returns or exchanges
○ Managing add/change/delete requests in hosted platforms
• Use effective telephone-based selling skills to:
○ Build rapport and identify customer issues
○ Offer creative solutions and explain product/service benefits
○ Negotiate household spend and upsell additional services
○ Accurately and efficiently input orders
• Meet or exceed weekly and monthly sales activity goals.
• Follow company-approved scripts to ensure consistent communication.
• Assist with special projects as assigned.


Qualifications
• High School Diploma or GED
• Ability to ask fact-finding questions to identify solutions aligned with customer needs
• Demonstrated patience and professionalism in all customer interactions
• Working knowledge of Cable One products and services
• Strong communication and active listening skills
• Ability to remain composed and empathetic in high-pressure situations
• Ability to sit for extended periods, use hands, talk, and hear
• May be required to lift up to 10 pounds


Pay Rate:
• Hourly rate of $15.00 - $16.00. We offer an hourly wage based on experience, with a focus on providing growth opportunities for both entry-level candidates and those with more experience.
