Customer Success Specialist

Why work with us: Competitive pay (based on experience) On-the-job training Company Expansion and growth opportunities Team-oriented work environment Consistent work year-round Great benefits + PTO package About the role: Some Precision Pool Restoration customers decide they want out between contract and completion. When they do, you own the moment. Every post-sale cancellation request in the company comes to you: de-escalate, surface the real objection, and build the resolution path that keeps the project on the books. Every save is revenue we already earned and refused to lose. Saving a customer is a craft: hear the problem under the frustration, know what the business can commit to, and close the gap. You work from defined resolution options with clear limits — and the best saves happen before the cancel call, by watching the signals and calling first. You are the first hire in our customer success function. You’ll build the save playbook and the cancellation data we’ve never had — and as the function proves out, you’ll help build the team that runs it. What you’ll do: Cancellation Prevention & Saves Own every post-sale cancellation request in the company. Every save runs through this desk. De-escalate, surface the real objection, and build the resolution path that keeps the project on the books. Work from a defined menu of resolution options with pre-approved limits. Never commit what the business can’t deliver — anything beyond the limits goes to the Director, Inside Sales for a same-day decision. End every save with a handoff: project back on the books, customer back with their project manager. When a project can’t be saved, process the cancellation cleanly: confirm terms, coordinate finance and operations, and close the file with no loose ends. Document the root cause of every cancellation request — saved or lost. Proactive Save Outreach Watch the signals that a project is heading toward cancellation — stalled schedules, missed appointments, repeat inbound calls — and make the save call before the customer makes the cancel call. Maintain a live view of at-risk projects across all markets, prioritized by revenue at risk. Notify the project manager before any proactive contact — the customer never hears two versions of the same conversation. Save Reporting & Voice of the Customer Log every request, contact, disposition, and outcome in i360 (Salesforce). Report save rate, retained revenue, and cancellation reasons to leadership weekly.
