Who You Are
As our Ambassador, you are a part of our Process Support team and your passion for providing outstanding customer service contributes to our exceptional level of customer satisfaction. You will be working with Activus Connect, never for us. In your home office, on your computer/laptop, you will connect with customers to answer questions and resolve issues through phone calls and maybe even chat! Self-Motivation is essential as you will be assigned a schedule. Every day you will be the face of Activus Connect as we make meaningful and positive impacts on customers. You will demonstrate empathy and compassion by finding the proper resolution to all the customers inquiries. We have fun every single day and being comfortable using email and chat to communicate with peers is an absolute must. As a champion for the customer, at Activus Connect, you will be able to actively listen while using awesome phone contact skills!
At Activus Connect, we are a team that operates on the simple principals of mutual accountability, reliability, and dependability. To be part of the team, we must be able to rely on you and that starts with being at work on time, consistently doing your best and taking pride in the work you perform.
Here is what an Ambassadors day looks like
You will be working entirely from home, our positions are completely virtual. No more paying for gas to drive to work, no more uncomfortable work clothes, no more getting stuck in traffic (unless you count the traffic at the toaster for those morning waffles)!
You will need a distraction-free, quiet, environment to work from. An ideal work location is a private room, maybe a bedroom or office, with a door you can close. The best work locations are free from distractions like televisions, pets, or family members who may be in the home during your work hours. It’s important to remember that while you are working, you will need to be focused, so caring for family members or pets during work hours is not possible.
It’s important you set yourself up for success! You will be using your own equipment; a computer, headset, and hard-wired internet. You will want to ensure you have space for all your equipment in your work location and that you have everything you need before the start of your shift. It will be busy taking calls but we don’t forget the fun.
You work from your home but you are definitely not alone. We have a variety of groups and activities you can join in, including a book club! Get to know your coworkers, make some new friends, and build your support team. Stay connected with us.
At Activus Connect we strive to give every customer the best experience, and our Ambassadors are the face of our company. It all starts with you. You are the foundation upon which our success is built. We ask for the very best – and we give the same back to our employees.
