• Keep Sales team updated when customer issues arise or when service gaps need attention.
• Work across Purchasing, Warehouse, and Logistics teams to resolve shipping delays or product issues.
• Handle returns, issue RMAs, and ensure proper documentation and processing.
• Review return patterns to suggest improvements and reduce repeat issues.
• Research products and pricing; request quotes from vendors; collaborate with the Sales team on pricing confirmations.
• Write Process Improvement Reports (PIRs) and participate in continuous improvement conversations during weekly meetings.

What You Bring (Your Strengths)
• High school diploma or equivalent; completion of college courses or related certifications is highly preferred
• 1+ years of experience in customer service or sales, ideally in distribution or a similar environment
• A professional, concise communicator who can explain product options clearly

• Ability to work comfortably under pressure while juggling multiple requests
• A natural sense of urgency when supporting customers
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Outlook)
• Willingness and ability to learn Salesforce (CRM), P21, and modern communication tools
• A mindset focused on problem-solving, follow-through, and making things easier for the customer
