  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
  • I currently work at BT in Accrington as a Retentions advisor, some of the roles in my job include; providing fantastic customer service in order to engage and support our customers when they call with enquiries or complaints, this could be simple enquires about their broadband package or recent bills, or it could be a complaint about the broadband speeds the customer may be receiving. I must also use my best judgement to find the right solution for the customer. As a retentions advisor it is important to be able to keep customers and grow their accounts. I will do this by being friendly and genuine with all customers, and be relatable and empathetic to ensure the service I’m providing is personal to every customer, which follows the businesses customer value vision: Personal – Simple –Brilliant.
