About the Role:

We are seeking a highly motivated, emotionally intelligent, and professional Virtual Assistant to join our team as a Customer Service Representative (CSR). This position is call-heavy, with an expected call volume of 100–150 calls per day.

This is not a cold-calling role — all calls are service-related. You will be assisting existing customers, addressing inquiries, resolving issues, and ensuring a high level of customer satisfaction.

  • Handle 100–150 inbound and outbound service calls per day in a timely and professional manner.

  • Provide accurate information, resolve issues, and ensure customer satisfaction on every call.

  • Maintain a positive, empathetic, and professional attitude toward customers at all times.

  • Navigate customer service software and CRM tools efficiently to log details and track interactions.

  • Follow communication scripts and standard operating procedures while applying sound judgment.

  • Escalate complex issues to appropriate departments when necessary.

  • Meet or exceed daily call volume, quality, and customer satisfaction targets.

  • Participate in regular team meetings, training sessions, and performance reviews.



Requirements


  • Proven experience in customer service, call center, or virtual assistant roles (preferably in a U.S.-based support environment).

  • Exceptional verbal communication and listening skills in English.

  • Strong emotional intelligence and ability to de-escalate challenging interactions.

  • Reliable internet connection, loadshedding provisions and a quiet, distraction-free workspace.

  • Proficiency with CRM platforms and call-handling software.

  • Ability to multitask, stay organized, and manage time effectively.

  • High level of professionalism, accountability, and attention to detail



Benefits

  • Competitive pay structure.

  • Remote work flexibility.

  • Supportive and collaborative team environment.

  • Opportunities for growth and skill development.
