  Responded to email enquiries from customers on behalf of ASOS. -Main part of the job was to respond to customers e-mails and answer their issues. These could range from asking where their order is, complaints about their order to general questions about a product. -I achieved the number of responses per hour desired and then exceeded that two weeks into the job, when they asked for it to be done within a month and did this without sacrificing the quality of the response. -I took on extra responsibility where I could by becoming a 'floor-walker'. This involved me helping others respond to e-mails and how to respond the correct way. After a short time I was reporting on the progress on the team to the team leader. Letting him know how was doing well, and how some could improve. -Although the main role was to respond to e-mails I would occasionally call should the situation require it. -I also passed all monthly exams, the purpose of which was to remind of us the correct procedure as well as additional exams such as on security and fraud prevention. >Took a poll amongst colleagues to alter the language ASOS recommended in the emails. The 'tone of voice' was an important part of how we were graded and important for ASOS' image. I felt the language was patronising and didn't display empathy. As a result I took steps to talk to senior management to alter this and was successful. Once it was changed their was a spike in positive feedback from customers. Show less
