Customer Experience Specialist Full Time Freedom Air and Plumbing, Rockledge, FL, US Customer Experience Specialist Job Title Customer Experience Specialist Department Customer Experience FLSA Status Full-Time, Non-Exempt Reports To Customer Experience Manager/Customer Operations Manager EEO

JOB SUMMARY:

The Customer Experience Specialist is the first voice a customer hears and the first impression they form of the company. This role owns the earliest and most influential part of the customer journey, taking a customer who is often frustrated, uncomfortable, or unsure and turning that moment into a booked appointment and a confident, well-informed customer. Every inbound lead is time-sensitive, and this position is responsible for getting customers booked quickly and handed off to Dispatch with urgency, while treating every call as both a customer rescue and a chance to convert demand into booked, revenue-producing work. Trust is the product of this role. The Customer Experience Specialist listens carefully, asks the right questions, and communicates with empathy, confidence, and speed so the customer feels heard and helped. Customer satisfaction begins here, long before a truck pulls into the driveway, and it is built on being accurate, responsive, and honest about what the customer can expect. Just as importantly, this position guides the customer and lays out exactly what the customer should expect through the process. That preparation sets the stage for the technician to arrive to a customer who already trusts the company and is ready to move forward, which is what allows the technician to convert the visit into completed work. This role works in close partnership with Dispatch so the right technician is sent to the right job with the information needed to succeed.
