The Retention Specialist is the last line of defense when a Wire 3 customer is considering canceling or downgrading their service. This role fields cancellation and downgrade requests, identifies the true driver behind each one, and turns those conversations into saves whenever it is the right call for the customer.

• Make outbound win-back calls to recently churned customers
• Follow up proactively on at-risk accounts flagged by billing or usage systems
