• Call Centre Billling Assistant / Floor Walker

  • Jun 2007 - Jun 2008

  Here I worked part time (20hrs/week while studying) in a team of 12 where I handled incoming billing enquiries for people with their Gas & Electricity bills. I was then seen to be a "can do" man, therefore I was then promoted to "Floor Walker" where I used my expert knowledge to assist more junior members of staff deal with escalated calls and extended billing queries. I then achieved many team certificates for customer service within EOn due to my extensive knowledge of the billing system, which meant that I could resolve problem issues and clear problem calls from the more junior members of staff. At the same time, my duties included cross selling products (Gas, Electricity & Central Heating Care), I managed to exceed targets and was producing higher sales figures than the full time members of staff. I then left E.On as I started full time employment. Show less
