What Sets You Apart
High Velocity: You know a customer’s problems today cannot wait for tomorrow. You look for what can be done today to help the Support Team today while moving forward along a long-term strategy.
Extreme Ownership: As necessary as it is to train people efficiently, it is equally essential for a trainer to identify excellent vs. poor talent and flag an individual whose skills are not up to the high standard of quality so that we can deliver the best customer experience to our users.
Metrics Mindset: You believe success is a measured outcome, you will drive better customer experience by helping the team achieve excellent CSAT, QA, and other key metrics along with other stakeholders.
Good Communication Skills: Communication is not just about language or vocabulary; it is also about engaging the learners in the discussion and developing a two-way communication path. This enables a trainer to convey information easily and accurately and properly respond to questions or comments from learners. Communication is also necessary to develop an atmosphere of sharing without barriers so that the learners do not hesitate to share problems and communicate feedback.
High Judgment: You must possess the ability to assess trainees’ performance accurately. This requires excellent judgment in evaluating whether trainees are grasping the material, identifying gaps in understanding, and providing tailored feedback that leads to improvement. Analyzing behavior, skills, and knowledge retention allows the trainer to guide learning and raise flag when someone is not meeting standards.
